GB listings for April, 2016 - Special

[running-man]

Four special rifles this month including a LB Yugo. 

Item Link   Description   # Bids   Starting Price   Final Price   Model   Arsenal Condition   Current Condition   S/N   RM's Notes
551624494   Chicom 56 SKS ( capture Vietnam Nam ) 762x39 Cal.   6   $200.00    $705.00   Chinese w/Papers   Uncertain   Fair   Uncertain likely 11 mil /26\   Not a great presentation, but it looks legit to me.  The missing bayo makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up a bit though, no reason for that to not be there.  Otherwise, it looks pretty good.  I wish we would have seen better photos of the receiver.

552397328   SKS Milled all matching 7.62 x 39   3   $299.00    $325.00    M21   Bubba   Poor   949017   This is a wretched looking gun, but I would bet that it is a VN bringback.  The bubba stock and missing bayo detract a bit, but for $325, not a bad deal at all.

553380914   Rare Early M21 SKS, Vietnam bring back, matching.   1   $399.00    $399.00   M21   Bubba   Very Good   941345   Unbelievable that this one went at this price.  Absolutely unbelievable.  Once of the nicest early M21s that I've ever seen.  Maybe sthe stock refinish is a turn-off, but it shouldn't have dinged this one so badly.  Maybe just a bad cycle?

553811579   SKS Model 59 Yugo S/N 048 7.62x39 Rifle RI-SKS-048   7   $399.87    $905.00   Long Barrel Yugoslavian   Refurbished   Fair   048   This is the first long barreled Yugoslavian that I've seen change hands on Gunbroker.  The seller didn't understand what he had until the auction was well underway.  It's an interesting gun, 1.TRZ refurbed with a handguard that clearly doesn't match the stock.  I'm pretty sure that the low # of bids is a direct result of nobody really knowing about this listing.

Didn't even notice it was your listing Pat.  I honestly don't know what more you could have done on this one, I really don't.

On ones like this, I tend to start it and let it go.....I was thinking like you that it would at least hit a somewhat normal value range....I could have ended it and re-listed it with a reserve.....but that wouldn't have been classy....win some ya lose some. Ike got a great deal IMHO...
