I saw that one too. I had wondered if someone bought the set and listed the 94s…

$6250 a piece? Somebody needs to put down the crack pipe.

I know it won’t sell. But if it sells, my Marlins might be in trouble.

My 357 of that run only went for a little over 2K.

I wonder what they are asking for them in their shop. Sometimes I think sellers put guns on there at super high prices not expecting to get a bid, then they put a note like this seller, “we have these for sale in our shop and reserve the right to end the auction early.” Gives them free advertising with no fees other than auction upgrades. Then, if by chance it does sell for the high price, they come out ahead.

I just realized this set has been relisted a few times and has actually had bids up to $65,000!!! Reserve not met. At what point do you say, ok that’s greedy enough? Lol www.gunbroker.com/Item/931540911

At some point they'll get it. Probably when a loaf of Wonderbread is eleven dollars.

Lol www.gunbroker.com/Item/931540911I’m betting they stuck a stupid minimum on the set and then bid their own stuff up to make it appear the market might really be there. You know call a couple friend and tell them to place bids up to X knowing it’s below a silly minimum number. Been wrong before but this one does smell right to me.

Seems like a really crazy high bid with an awfully low number of bids to me

I know with a reserve, it will put your max bid down as the first bid if reserve isn’t met.
So if the reserve is $1000 with a starting bid of $1, and my max bid is $999, it will place a $999 bid as my bid.
However, with the same auction, if my max bid was $2000, it would place my bid at $1000, and then proxy bid for me if others bid, up to $2000.
Fowler, you are probably right, but man… $65k… get real. If it was 12 first year models of 1873s or 1894s, or 1892s, I might could see it.

To think, and maybe it is just me, that Marlins were always "working-man's" guns - guns people could afford and bought because they didn't want to take a "nice" gun out in the woods and scratch it up. They were everywhere and people used them hard and sold them in hard times - for like $100 to $200. I'm not talking fifty years ago either - fifteen, twenty, maybe.
I mean no offense to the quality of Marlins, it just strikes me how they were taken for granted to that degree and suddenly they are considered "investment-quality."

I agree. I have bought my share of $100-200 Marlins, and not just 30-30s. There were some 35 Remingtons and 444 Marlins in there. Oh to have em all back.

When they come out with a 45 I hope I'm still interested.
