Congradulations!

I watched the bidding and was pretty certain you were going to persevere to the end. A bidding pattern on Gunbroker is becoming pretty common over the last several months. For any significant gun, there are vintage gun dealers (three in particular) who list their guns at really outrageous prices and bid these types of guns up to a fair market price before dropping out. I bid on 20-30 guns a month and buy 2-3. The same guys always show up.
