Every gunboard on the net has links to obscene prices "evil rifles" have been going for since the election. At this point in time, it should not come as a shock, surprise, or even something uncommon.

if you want to shock the membership find a AK, AR that went for a good price recently

weird that the plastic forend models get no play..
Heck if that's a stumbling point for some of these buyers for I'd just swap out the plastic handgaurds with wood, then put a US brake in place of the foreign one (assuming it is not already a US part).

These GB AK bids are truly just plain stupid now. I'm about ready to put up 4 of my 5 AK clones on GB just to see what happens. Then I can buy some guns I've really been wanting (C&R's).

What are the odd's of this seller getting paid? Might just be some kid or anti gun person screwing up the auction system...

I would be suspicious of some of these sales who in their right mind would actually fork over that much dough withouth doing a little research. I mean things are going high but just a quick search on Gunbroker and you can find twice the gun for less money. There are yugo krinks with "buy it now" price of less than 1300$ either these people are big idiots that can afford to be crazy (hey people blow more than that on the slot machines at Vegas with nothing to show for it) or this is shill bidding.

Trust me when I worked the shop when ever we had such high prices bidded up you can almost bet the buyer disappears... But it is fun to look. I think they are going for way more then they did a few months ago but this is insanely high :)

Some people just have more money than brains!
I know where there are Polish underfolders for 799! (I bought one, it's an Allied armament build, just beautiful).
He could have bought a Vector built RPD out of the same shop for 2700.
Crazy...
