Not likely, he'll be lucky to break even. Rebuilding often costs twice what buying whole does.
Yes, that was my point. He will have spent twice what it's worth to restore it.

As an auctioneer, I can tell you that people go out of their minds bidding on something. Its a totally different mindset as opposed to just walking into a store and seeing something you want. Its almost a 'screw you, its mine' thing.

As a person that goes to 2 live auctions a week and bids on countless online auctions...I can confirm this lol.

Its the chase when coupled with desire to own the item that overpowers ones sense of reality, happened to me with my WWII F/S knife not saying what I paid for it but probably 1/3rd more than what its worth for it.
I now have a limit and if its surpassed then too bad next time, though I have become very good at sniping online auctions on fleabay....

Last September, I sold a Mark III fore-end to a member on this forum for $65.00 which I thought was a fair price. It was walnut but
without the volley sight and in nice condition - no dents or cracks
