RC K98k gunbroker sale breaks record

ax - hole
Yeah I believe it does first time I have seen a RC k98k sell for $2000 but look at that condition. The pretty stock, the shiny bolt, and it comes with a bayonet and sling! But as the seller states: 1936 Mauser ERMA not RC. Matching serial numbers with bayonet. Collectors dream.

Did you here that it's a collectors dream for $2000!

From what the bidder history shows this buyer of this turd became a member on Gunbroker in January of this year. Most likely a new collector to the military surplus world and has no clue what to look for. I use to feel for this guys but in the year of 2021 with the amount of info out there and the books not really.

I looked at that action too when it was active...... long enough to see it was an RC. It’s crazy what happens these days. I am glad I found a couple guys in the game when it started along with this sight and the books before I made my first purchase. Knowledge is power

Wow only $2000??? That IS a dream. :facepalm: It's the 'omergod I missed out and now NEED to buy whatever I can whatever it costs right now!' crowd. They're like locusts. If you're a seller these are halcyon days indeed.

It's gotta be the wire wheeled bolt and the furniture wax on the stock (with high gloss buffout) that drives them wild. Just like them Notzi's did it.
 
Itz sooooo purty !!!!!! Gotz to be worth 10 times what the buyer paid for it .....

Seller SEZ Collectors dream.
 
Gotta be the most highly polished stock I have ever seen!! Probably figured to pretty not to own. But man $2000!!

My take. 21 year old who realizes he's 'missed out on everything' and Sleepy Joe's proposals mean 'he'll never get anything' so they just start buying. Anything and everything no matter what the price tag is. It's like a shotgun blast. Mosin. Cheap AK ammo. This beauty.

I’m tempted to unload a couple of my RCs on there now.

You letting any go? Specifically any examples from 1938, 39, 41, 42, or 44? Any manufacturer. If so please send a PM my way, I’m looking for a nice shooter.

I have yet to grab an RC, I don’t NEED one but I think it’s something that would be a blast to plink with.

It's just become stupid. Russian Refurb 91/30 hammer price $550 ($660 after premium) one after the next in auction last week. At least half a dozen of them. Too much free government money.
