I completely agree with everything you said! I will not purchase from, or sell to, a flipper but everyone need to eat
This is a great thread with several different but valid points of view.

I think the new owner (The Flipper) has great expectations as to the true value of his investment.

As I have mentioned before according to TPS only about 6 guns were produced with straight grip and 32 inch barrels. I know the whereabouts of three and two of them are for sale.

Ok so .........the auction goes off at 48K
The gun is for sale (still there) on GI for 50K #100726105
The high bidder and dealer can't get together on this gun? They can't find a price point to satisfy each other????
What is the high bidder thinking??? I will pay 48K but not 49K or 50k??? I am going to hold out for the next one ...
How about the seller? That extra 2K or less is gonna break the deal??? only a 13K profit in a week is unaccepatble??? He has to get all 15K????
Really......is it still unresonable to conclude the high bidder (who bid right up to the resrve but did not hit it) was a ghost....
If he is real he should be shouldering the gun right now.
Guns like that don't likely get passed over for another 2-4% - not in this market.
If he is real and out there, I hope we hear from this mysterious bidder. I would love to hear his though process on this whole........... cherade.

Real bidder? Hardly.
