    Fleabay!

    I know I keep putting these things up but I just want to show what the prices are doing with certain items that Lithgowicon incomplete stock went for $535 + $60 postage.

    I have been following this one that started at a .99 cent bid and has now with still 1 day + to go gone beyond the realms of reason (well for me anyway) I know if I put my one up for sale it would probably sell for .99 cents (not that I will).
    Anyway its just general interest, there is an oiler from the Boer war and that is at $202/Au with 3 days to go.

    Heres the sight adjuster for a MkIII.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    At these prices there should be shiploads of old milsurp bits being imported into Australiaicon - or has the currency really been devalued to a fraction of its previous value?
    Or is it a kind of "tulip mania" for Enfield parts?

    I am baffled.
