    Playing Games in Kentucky

    From a posting in the 1911 section.
    Look at the bidders names.

    This Colt has been Re-listed due to the NON Paying winner.
    Here's the bidder list of the first go round, that I've compared to some of this sellers other current listings, like a Never Issued IBM carbine. So many of the same names he looks to have a cult following or his own shill bidder roster.
    Be sure to look for Ozzy5d C Rating (2) Transactions... among others

    Colt 1st go round:

    high volume dealers who start at a penny seem to have a following of nimwit bidders--one has to know what you are bidding on--my grandpa told me the only thing you can buy at auction is at a price that was more than anyone else would bid, kind of a hollow ring there when you think about it

    Christmas Spirit (s)

    Will be the buyers 5th purchase via GB from this seller.
    Feed back will be interesting. Maybe all will be Happy.
    Maybe they went to boy scout camp together..

    I still wonder if the Sling was 'Un-issued' and if so: How could that be ?

    Careful with this one, I paid over $7 K for it...

    Safe New Year To All,

    The 2nd place bidder on the IBM managed to score on the Colt. Take a look at how many he's bought from this seller in the past couple months. - Bob

    I guess I'll hold on to my unissued IBM for a while. Although I'd let it go for such a stupid amount! lol

    What I don't understand is how stampings that were applied AFTER the carbine was built ended up with parkerizing INSIDE the stampings? Same is true on the colt 1911. Makes you go Hmmmm???!
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
