One of our best dealers listed on EE a Swedish Mauser mismatched with a like new condition barrel for 795$. That was around 900$ shipped to door. The Swedish was sold. Look like mausers are going up fast in price.
 
I saw that one, and $795 is quite stiff for a mismatching Swede.

Don't forget it is common to find brand new Brazilian Mausers (1908 and 1935) with matching bayonet, sometimes even with sling and target for around $1100.

I don't know where you shop but I haven't seen a complete in the grease Brazilian Mauser set go for that price in several years. The last two sets I had were gobbled up at the two day Chilliwack show last spring at $1500 each and the buyer just took both of them without even dickering. The two before that went for maybe $50-$100 less.

Like Mr Barnum used to say, "Suckers are born every minute." If that rifle were in pristine/ all matching condition/ including sling and matching bayonet with frog and cleaning kit it should fetch that price. I think the buyer didn't do his/her due diligence.
 
Here in the GTA, Toronto.
Last week a 1935 in new condition sold for $1100.
Sure the guy tried to sell it for $1500, but he finally sold it for $1100.

So now you know where I shop.

There is another one for sale, the older gentleman asks for $1200 since several years now. I am sure he will let it go for $1100, 1935 with matching bayonet, target and sling, brand spanking new!!!!!!!!

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO SUPPLY AND DEMAND. The original Swede 96s have become scarce, Tradex has the sporter and target rifles they are still good rifle just not original. Matter of fact the target rifles generally have better barrels than the original military issue.
