As much as I love my featherweights I’m not sure I can spend this kind of cash. What do others think?

Virlee is practically in my backyard. That kind of number convinces me that I have no good idea of what some of my stuff is worth and even paying commission, I'd come out way better than trying to sell something myself. Looking back on some of the stuff that I've sold gives me sellers remorse if there is such a thing.

Could be just a rumor my friend was spreading. I have made a few purchases with GB, I’ve never sold on their site. If it’s true, agreed it would change things big time.

Many stainless featherweights sold for a grand or under (including some short actions) but once you add the buyer's premium they got spendy. There were plenty that got a higher price as well like that 7mm-08 and a pair of stainless featherweights in 6.5x55.

Here’s the 7/08 that sold in the same range as above. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/923775701 AK, I wouldn't choose to do business with that particular individual. “Factio democratica delenda est"

Plus a short action. AK, there is also a five digit 7 mag unfired in box on there. That is going to go for a pretty penny. Luckily I already have a 7 mag so they won’t be getting my money this time. Opening bid took it. I thought it might go up a bit too.

They didn’t make a ton of the BACO stainless supergrades so that price doesn’t surprise. And - point of trivia - there were no classic stainless supergrades made outside of the custom shop until the very end of the classic run, and those were the 7 digit wsm’s. And before somebody jumps on me about the 358 STA - it was essentially a stainless supergrade just not marked as such!
