Sufficient things in this world to make me feel the "really old" I factually am!
But 'disconnect' with economic realities, perhaps one of the most pronounced. That bolt listed above, as just another "holy smokes" (not the actual term I used, but nicer). The good as I'm financially 'situated' and to personally weather pretty well. The wider 'I am my brother's keeper", in terms of social responsibility. Ever increasing numbers of folks hurting and more to be.
Enough preaching. I do believe prices will level off. Regression, not likely soon. Recession seems probable. America's not an economic island!
The greater levelling particularly such in respect of "disposable income"; such goods & services. Necessities such as food, housing including maintenance & repair costs. Public services as water, electric, gas, waste/garbage and ever "taxes" Vehicle acquisition, maintenance, insurance and fuel costs. Those becoming large and unknown variables. Disproportionately so!
The point as right now, in respect of non-essentials, my belief best just to hold! "Comfortably situated" today, little assurance of the future.
Rant concluded, back to the bolt, as appearing the pre '68 genre which is "perhaps" what is needed. But the ad, from my viewing, not specific. Acquisition even "if it fits" with barreled action and yet stock to be factored in. My belief the value based on "sum of parts" as likely greater than comparable used rifle harmoniously from factory. Then too, the matter of headspace!
Believe the net, net, as seller, you're trying to parlay original 'bite the bullet' acquisition wrapped into a new dimension as recovering some expenses. Likely not realistic. Saying that, the entire caveat of my above words as bit detached from current economic realities.
Good luck, whatever!
Best!
