Something fishey in my opinion going on with that auction,notice the people running up the bids arn't even registered members on GB, and have no past purchases or feedback.
May have a case of "SHILL BIDDING" going on but it's just my take on it,maybe I'm wrong it will be interesting to see "who wins" the auction.
I tend to agree with your assessment. The question is will it work?!

I have a very nice waffle top Marlin 30-30 that I’ll sell for 1/2 the final price listed and I’ll ship for free.
I prefer classic.

I've had a couple of non paying bidders on GB the past year. They need to police their site.
A bowhunter at heart but a gun guy at soul. I'll take craftsmanship, wood and blue steel over plastic and composite any day.

Let’s see - don’t pay - lose privileges - start all over anew.

That has to be the most produced gun that Marlin made, and they were probably producing > 10,000 per year, for over 50 years. There is absolutely nothing special about that gun. Insane.
Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above. Don't fence me in.

There's hope that my extra 1895GS JM (unfired and NO handling marks whatsoever) is building value.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

The winning bidder seems legit and has bought several guns this month on Gunbroker for $4000 to $25000? More money than sense maybe? Won the lottery?

Condition, condition, condition . Originality and people flush with money. We can not fathom the wealth that is out there.

That auction seems to prove the old saying that there's a sucker born every minute.
Who would have thought that any regular production Marlin 336 would sell for that kind of money?

Frankly, I have never been bothered with how one chooses to spend their money. There are more than a few privately own Lear jets flying.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

260Remguy: This "sale" indeed seems to be a puzzle of extraordinary "puzzlement"!
Until you realize/consider that this is "gunbreaker"!
And NOT every sale on gunbreaker is a legitimate transaction.
I will not use gunbreaker and advise my friends of my concerns thereof and relay to them the scams other friends have endured AND engaged in, thereon!
My advice avoid gunbreaker and do your gun deals/dealings IN PERSON.
Hold into the wind

If that was a legitimate purchase I'd eat my hat.
I'm more inclined to say sort of internet shenanigans or money laundering.....😉
