    $3.5 million, thoughts

    Not sure if this was ever discussed, but it pops up once in a while so I thought it would be an entertaining topic

    Is that even a real listing? Maybe a scam listing with photo's taken from a show somewhere?

    I see eight racks with maybe ten carbines per rack (80). And a middle section to show some special items. Yeah sniper scope, I have one too, no big deal. Lets say ten more on the table, and ten special items. If the carbines and special items added up to one hundred, at that asking price it would come out to $35,000 per. I couldn't see it even if they were all presentation guns in mint condition with documentation.

    You would think for $3,500,000 they would have a nicer sign too.

    This has to be someone playing around.

    If I had that kind of money, I'd never sew it up in that sort of thing.

    Marketing makes it happen!

    Also appropriate from the car sales business: "There's an a$$ for every seat". That looks like a good deal if it included about $3M worth of gold coins in a cool chest.
