I was at a gun show back in the 90's where a guy had a 50 cal single shot with 10k for a price tag.
He had guys talking about it and the orice.
He never sold it because he liked talking about it to much.
How do I know this, well because for the next two gun shows he had it on the table and finally when the Chilliwack show became the one to go to he was there with that very same gun...
Anyways, atnoaction will always be a thing.

beyond ridiculous
I recall a $22500 firearm very recently posted on townpost. No top ad. Just the easiest and cheapest type of post that you can find.
Best of luck with that bruised ass from sitting on a wallet!

It's always about pricing.
I sold two Rem. 700 in the last month within a couple of days of posting.
Better than anything currently listed and $50 cheaper.
The 700's listed then are still listed.
People are incredibly cheap and walk over a few dollars.
Both guns were approx $1500 and neither buyer even bothered withvthe extra $20 or $25 for insurance.
That's being cheap and not smart.

it depends on the kind of oil in that bottle, might be very valuable aligator pen*s oil.

With respect to M-1 rifles...
Unless you know otherwise, assume that a M-1 in Canada is a bitser, assembled from miscellaneous parts on a receiver from one of the 20,000 odd Danish rifles stripped to make parts kits sent into the US.
There are legitimate ex-service surplus M-1s out there, but there are an awful lot of bitsers put together by heaven only knows whom using parts from heaven only knows where, with heaven only knows what knowledge or skill. Nicely refinished, they might look good.
Bruce Canfield, the US arms authority, said years ago that if you see a M-1 rifle that has all matching correct parts, assume that it is a put-together, parts being swapped to make them correct and matching. The overwhelming majority of US arms got refurbished, and the arsenals just didn't care about matching parts.

I used to build match M1s many years ago, and there is a lot that goes into assembling one correctly. Most people slap them in a Boyd’s stock and call it done. Such a rifle should be avoided.
People advertise fairly high dollar collector firearms with poor descriptions ( often incorrect and filled with false information) and absolutely appalling photos. Personally I will not even inquire about such ads.
I figure if a seller doesn't know enough to post good photos probably no one you want to emt $1500 and up to.

Or maybe that's the price he told his wife he paid ha ha ha
That comes with a heroine doped toddler though.
The EE & GP ad woes have been discussed Ad nausea over the years here.
It is what it is..
Don’t like the price? (For whatever reason) Don’t initiate/engage the seller and move along..
Want to make an offer on an item that’s newly listed or been kicking around awhile? Fair enough, but neither party should get bent outta shape at either the offer or possible no thanks reply..
It’s that simple
How many posts on here (CGN as a whole) do you see about sellers complaining that no-one is buying their over-inflated items?
That’s what I thought. None to rare..
The market will eventually even itself out, where items are realistically priced and sell fast. Until then, enjoy the entertainment of some Ads and happy shopping/selling…
