    Will Buyers Ever Get Smarter?

    Wandering about today looking over completed sales.
    Same old things guys paying big bucks for obvious 'Replicas'.
    And paying way too much for some mixers.
    I commented on another forum that some here may frequent, so this might be a re-post for some.

    I can't get over how the Hell S-T-B takes L&S tweeked receiver dovetails and re-parks with supplied repro parts put in NEW STOCKS (all with the same color) then adds their fresh stamps and sell for + or - $3 grand.
    It's been years now and guys just keep buying this crap.
    Is this where the Stimulus and extra $$ unemployment funds are going ?
    Seems insane that everyone knows about the Riverbank boys but none catch on about Ole Sammy.

    I also came across a past sale on a WRA 5,7 rebuilt mixer in a SA stock and M4 leather bayonet that recently sold for $3,225.00.
    I looked over the 45 bids it had.
    Look over the Bid History on this one.
    Does anyone get the 'Shill Bid' feeling from this one ?
    Seems odd, but IDK.
    I just can't believe the final sale price, especially after looking closer and seeing what I believe is the NPM Punch mark near the W stamp on the WRA barrel.
