Our friend ed1 dropped out at $1111.00. I guess we know where Ed is coming from. What a great gun at a great price. This is not a sign of the Repro market. This is a sign of buyers not paying attention. The forearm is worth a grand. The stock is worth more than that. Sit in that chair and pay attention.

That's all spot on. An uninformed seller can work to your advantage, too.

I have been paying attention. You don't have to convince me that the quality is worth more than the price - I own repros. And this gun may be an anomaly in the market, but I've seen more sub $3000 repros in the last year (some of them DT) than I saw in the previous three years combined - while the economy has improved. You may have more data points than I do (in fact you probably do), but in my view the market seems pretty soft.

Yes, the market is soft, but this particular sale has nothing to do with a soft market. It has to do with someone who wanted to get rid of a gun, at any price. It happens all the time.
