Salt-- I don't see anything that jumps out at me makes that Type 99 worth that bidding price. If the dust cover matched and it had the brass muzzle protector (it had one at one time from the muzzle wear on the bluing), correct Type 30 bayonet and capture papers probably. Unfortunately in the US we have entered into a period that there lots of new folks who are novices and loads of money to spend. I do not see that going away anytime soon.
