6 days 8 hours to go in the auction....who wants to start a pool what the final selling price is?

Caleb 06-13-2014 07:44 AM

If anyone scores this for under 1k, that will be a heck of a deal! Wish I had the cash.

No "Buy It Now" price, it will sell a little under(maybe) full retail. I have watched Springfield TRP's get bid to $200 over retail when they were in short supply. People were paying $1800 just to get a harder to find TRP in hand. At Florida Gun Exchange last week the TRP was $1399. If a guy can get the right guns, Gunbroker will find the profit margin for him.

Guess it's not a hot item....Googled it, saw one that sold at $850.....might be a whole new world in gun sales now that inventory is back...for now.

Phil you gotta wait to bid until the final minutes to ensure a better chance to win the bid. Lol

Sixteen minutes before it ends....If you bid inside the last fifteen minutes GB has a way of extending the auction. I got my Springfield Champion that way...Was a Sunday morning, I sat, watching the auction, eating cereal with my kids counting down sixteen minutes...Kids were going nuts. Auction ended. Final price...$506.00..five dollars above the person who bid the night before. Guess they forgot to wake up and check the auction.

Yes each bid within 15 min restarts the time back to 15 min. Good for the seller but not the buyer. Lol

But I think that is only within the last half hour, or fifteen mins? Not sure. It worked for me the one time.

Typical....one bid, the opening price.....minimum $5 increments now. Caleb, you should jump on there and bid, see how high the guy goes.

Sheepdog 06-14-2014 12:15 AM

I found it before he did. I'm not bidding against Phil. I would have to pay tax. Nice pistol, I have a Ranger and a Ranger11. This one is the new style without the billboard slide. Good looking pistola. Go get 'em Phil.

sstpierre 06-15-2014 08:13 PM

donkey!!! funny little less than 2 days but I bet the bidding will go wild in the last few hours....

Xbonz 06-17-2014 06:39 PM

Phil, this was run before with ZERO bidders. Hopefully the same holds true this time....

I think Howard is right....no interest so far....and once before.....this bride has been left at the altar and you need to save her.

And Caleb...it's 16 minutes....duh!:D

This is good news but not holding my breath. Its a nice gun, 4" not preferred but for a good deal I am always in on a STI...they are my favorite.....
In this case i wish time would move a bit faster. After my RIA 9mm flopped and gunbroker didn't do much for me I will try to win this little gem!

Shark1007 06-19-2014 11:43 AM
