I wish Ruger would get off their buns and release the Marlin 336 and 1894 already.
Prices for the lever guns are outrageous all-around.

This is true.Online auctions is a weird environment....
Ive sold a few things on ebay where I got virtally full retail new prices what I paid new.
The no reserve is kind of odd but i think he knew it would be bid up high, most JM Marlins sell very well even in poor condition. Given the "new" condition I think it exceeded his expectations.... So say the least.This is true.
I have sold quite a bit on Ebay actually and was often surprised at the outcome. A lot depends on what the item is, it's popularity and the bidding 'environment'. The more people that bid it seems the more follow up bids there are that follow.
10 K + however for this is hard to believe. I realize we see it 'closed' at that but I can only think as someone previously said, 'drunk bidding' or missing a decimal, etc.
I thought it was crazy people paying 2K + for new SA Hi Powers on GB but this is still hard to 'wrap my head around' this one.
The part that does make me wonder about the validity of this is the fact he had not reserve on it to start out. I realize there are some guns listed with no reserve but the majority do. Just a thought.
Not a Marlin collector, but definitely a Marlin fan boy.OKYDOKY so auction was .01 start and ending was $10,000. + if you are not a Marlin collector you don't get it. being an armchair Quarterback is oh so easy. obviously 2 or more collectors who know what they are looking at where in a bidding war. last year on gun broker they had 2 Winchester model 70s serial #1 and #2 priced at $1.500,000. did they sell? i don;t know, but would any of you pay that much for 2 guns?
i am not a marlin collector so i can't say. but high end collectors live in a different world. do you know how many billionairs there are in the USA? what you missed is you and i are not FILTHY RICH. what is 10,000 to a millionair? pocket change. who can explain what other people do.Not a Marlin collector, but definitely a Marlin fan boy.
Please, good sir, show me what I missed. Is it a serial number? Previous owner ( documented)? 1 of 1 ?
Not rattling your cage , I sincerely would like to know.
Back when I was doing the shows I never made out like this but, I often sold something for so much I kind of felt guilty taking the cash. Some people see something they "just have to have" and can plunk down 1K like I throw down a buck.i am not a marlin collector so i can't say. but high end collectors live in a different world. do you know how many billionairs there are in the USA? what you missed is you and i are not FILTHY RICH. what is 10,000 to a millionair? pocket change. who can explain what other people do.
Like the papa John's pizza guy and his giant statue of eagles mating? Yeah I see that.i am not a marlin collector so i can't say. but high end collectors live in a different world. do you know how many billionairs there are in the USA? what you missed is you and i are not FILTHY RICH. what is 10,000 to a millionair? pocket change. who can explain what other people do.
Reserves are an auction killer. You will always get more money with no reserve, because every jackwagon will throw in a bid because they might get it. If the gun sucks and you have a reserve nobody wants the turd anyways, if the gun is nice people go more crazy with a bit o auction fever. The only reason to reserve is if its uber expensive and no one is looking for that gun but this is incredibly rare.The no reserve is kind of odd but i think he knew it would be bid up high, most JM Marlins sell very well even in poor condition.

Model 70's #1 & #2? For $1.5 mill? Well... Possibly, for someone with my love of the old mod 70's and a (much!) fatter bank account than mine..OKYDOKY so auction was .01 start and ending was $10,000. + if you are not a Marlin collector you don't get it. being an armchair Quarterback is oh so easy. obviously 2 or more collectors who know what they are looking at where in a bidding war. last year on gun broker they had 2 Winchester model 70s serial #1 and #2 priced at $1.500,000. did they sell? i don;t know, but would any of you pay that much for 2 guns?
