Nice Rockola I - Cut sling STOCK M1 Carbine RMC Original WWII US part No RSRV ! | eBay
I like the comment about finding a Rockola in a junk stock at the next gun show, i think putting a carbine wearing junk stock into this junk stock would be a lateral move.
Can those bids be real?
What a wonderful nice stamp on such an old stock. Why it's even fresher looking then the rest of the stock. Wonder what that means. lol
That stamp is so fake, I can smell it from here! The x-cannon and RMC in a box were all part of a single stamp, not separate stamps. That is fake fake fake....
Obviously they're real. Are they from legitimate competitive bidders, unknown to the seller? I doubt it. Currently everything real on ebay appears to be on the upswing price-wise. Maybe the professional sellers have decided to join forces and drive the market unnaturally. I'm no expert, but I believe it costs very, very little (relatively) in auction fees to shill a item price to 3 or 4 times it's fair market value, and you only need a few neophyte, deep pocket suckers to make it pay back bigtime. There are a lot of CMP mixmaster carbines out there. Sooner or later the inflated prices may become legitimate market prices to a portion of the newby collectors and then it's game-on. Who knows, maybe the market can be cornered and the inflated prices become legitimate. This seems like a real good topic for some interesting in-depth discussion. As for me, I look at the "bidding/selling" price relative to the past few years and mostly just pass with no regrets when I sense the apparent inflation rate has just been too high to be real. As for the stock in question, it appears to be a real Rock-Ola stock and at least the cartouche humper used the right CC ordinance stamp. JMHO
One of the bidders on this auction (o***i) has a 29% bidding history with this seller. The history with this seller for the rest of the bidders is 8% or less. This same seller had another carbine stock listed last week (not as desirable-maybe) that o***i did not bid on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/M1-Carbine-S...p2047675.l2557 Maybe there's something going on with the bidding - maybe not? - Bob
Ebay is putting short cuts to bidders names. I'm guessing to hide bidders real names. I know I bid on something a while back and they put letters and a number and removed my normal name. Does anyone know if the same shortened name is always used for the same person? Otherwise why change them in the first place?
It's always the same modification to the username.
