My own opinion is that the seller was trying to get a "collector" price for a "shooter" gun.
Just because an all-original and correct Remington-Rand in truly excellent condition will bring four figures doesn't mean that a doggy mixmaster with a frosty bore that doesn't even look right will fetch the same price merely because it's all GI.
Condition and originality command premium prices, but lesser guns go begging.
