Who cares that there is a premium associated with the sellers name ? ( full disclosure : I don't know and haven't done any business with aforementioned seller ) .
Those prices get reflected into gunshops and gunshows with folks like you, who think that Tommy Gun prices are the new market prices.
I never said that one auction was the new trend . To analyze the market , you need more than one data point .
You guys don't appreciate folks posting live auctions , but all you do is bash the auctions after the gavel falls with your bitching/griping/complaining about the realized prices .
Let people post live auctions and do all the above banter while it's happening to let the prospective bidders know how much the listed arm is NOT rare , has NO condition and is JUNK . This way here your perceived influence will keep a $300 rifle a $300 rifle . This way the only folks that are soured by your comments are the sellers , not the sellers and buyers .
You don't have to tell people you are worried about marked up prices , your raillery says it .
