Tula SKS on Gunbroker

[Claybuster]

This has to be a faked bid. No way ANYONE would pay almost $8000 for an SKS. It'd take another 100 years to make that rifle anywhere near as valuable.

If you check the bid history on the site (membership required) you'll find there was more than one bidder willing to pay in that neighbourhood.

Actually, the 7K bidder has very little feedback, some of it negative. He'll likely back out.

the next reputable bidder only went to about $3500. This is MUCH more reasonable for even an SKS that rare.

The seller was indeed looking to contact the next highest bidder.

US$10,000 for a SKS tula 1949??

there is a feeding frenzy going on for SKS tula 1949, heres another that went for US$10,000 by one bidder on a "buy it now", on the next day.

That's a fake bid designed to teach the seller a lesson. The pictured SKS isn;t original - heavy refurb. Worth maybe $600 US. Seller saw other auction and got greedy.

Fear not, I'd never bid on that site for that amount...besides which they don't ship to Canada, and are mostly anti Canadian.
