Just insane. I mean awesome bit of kit, but a truly stupid price.

I know of two , both models that are legally owned outside of the USA in one dealers collection . I don't think they have the same value as a USA legal class three
Gun.

I guess the key to remember here is that auction price is not actual value. Just the price that two guys were prepared to bid up to, on that day, with that amount of beer in them

Ha ha , it actually is the real market value unless one of them drops dead.

I remember many many years ago I was at an estate auction I was bidding against one guy for a vet bring back 98k sniper . It went for 5000 plus fees at the time. I eventually lost , but remember thinking if this guy didn't show I could have won the gun for little over 1200 bucks which was the third bidders sealed bid.

Oh I have seen that happen a few times. The room drops away, leaving two guys bidding it up until one of them ends up paying 3 or 4 times as much as when the third bidder dropped out. I often wonder if there is assassination-as-a-service, where you pay 5% and have a couple of bogans come in and quietly garrote the second bidder.

Sleeping powder in his diet coke would be less radical.
