Seeing some smoothly described D Tip Slings fetching $60 to over $80 on Ebay... But they are real.
Also seeing Repro C Tips selling for $75 to even +$100 on the same auction site.
Looks like a creative description using WWII, USMC, Airborne.... etc, makes one blind ? :dunno:
Seems a shame...
To add to my opening post,
Has anyone noticed you can no longer bring up the 'Original Listing' of a completed auction. You can get the ended auction but can't see the pictures. When you try clicking on the SEE ORIGINAL LISTING, the site will pop up something different you may like.
The Humpers gotta love this new feature, as just their Description, selling price and seller info is left after completion.
No longer will we be able to look over their pictures after the ending.
To search, I did an Advanced search of sold listings with the search words being m1 carbine sling. When the results pop up I click on the sold for over $30 button to weed out smaller things like oilers.. etc.
My Results:
m1 carbine sling | eBay
You can still look at ended auctions.
There’s a link you can click to “undo” the reroute. It’s quite annoying but that’s how it goes.
Searching completed auctions is a major resource for the reselling I do.
RC,
I'm still trying to figure that out........ but the Race is starting !
I totally agree about the frustration with eBay. I still haven't figured out what's going on. Will try soon to "undo" the re-route - right now back to see if the JGR cars can catch the Fords. 9000+ RPM! - Bob
On ended auction, when I click on 'See Original Listing' and it sends me to a different, current listing, I click on the Highlighted LISTING in the Blue banner and it brings me back to the Original Listing, I then have to click on 'See Original Listing (again) thus making it possible to still see that completed auctions pictures.
I think I've got it.
But probably haven't explained it very well.
Thx RC.
They are currently running 219 mph at the end of the straight away here at MIS.
Thanks, Charlie. Just tried your method to see the prices on a couple WAC stocks that ended - it works! - Bob
Go to original listing & then just click on the picture of the item thats what I just did and it worked for me.
Cinders,
When I do it that way it just brings up a NEW listing that may be similar to the original listing.
Works correct if I do as I posted above in reply #6 by clicking on 'see original listing' the 2nd time.... Or if I click on the picture on that 2nd time around.
At a show a couple of months ago I bought a group of items someone got from an estate liquidation and included both C and D tipped slings. The price was $5 per sling for the C tips. The C-tips are unused and were assumed to be reproduction. I'm not so sure now that I've handled them, and of course want to believe they're real. :o One has "the smell", the other less so, but somewhat does. Both appear identical.

You did well on those two! :thup: - Bob

Pulled tightly, one is 49-3/4". The other is 49-1/2".
49 1/2" to 49 3/4" Naaah,
Still not big enough for GI Bob to use as a belt :dancingbanana:
:cool:
I wish the ones I have were that shorter length. The (2) C Tips in this picture measure 52" overall, but with the snap closed are about 49 inches. According to Riesch's book, that's still within specs. I'd rather have them look more like the D Tip at the top of the picture when "snugged up" on my Carbine. The D Tip measures about 49" OAL. Thanks for measuring them - at first I thought mine might be for a gun other than an M1 Carbine. - BobQuote:
