I think Ridolpho has it right. Being a LB for sure makes it more desirable here in Canadaicon and if in excelent condition sure justifies the price. I see people offering far less desirable Lee Enfields for 6-700.00 on sites and they seem to be selling.

As time advances and more people want a LB there just aren't enough to go around, all about supply and demand.

Hope you get it.
