RIA auction over $55,000 for MP40


Recommended Posts

id sell mine for $40k if anyone is interested

 

i never understand how people are so nutty at auctions...they lose all reality and pay anything....sad thing is there is no function guarantee, so they may have bought a POS needing repairs

Ha yeah I saw that not bad compared with our matching guns as well. The nice mp44 went for 55k without buyers premium. The Mg42 went for 75k before buyers premium! The Ppshs went a lot less than last time, about 40k, this time about 20k. As we always say, buy the gun not the story. Captain Coles MP40 went for 37.5k before premium. Exciting to see and know we all have some value at the end of the day.

Definitely some new record prices on a number of guns. Sort of reminds me of the Stern auction in 08 or so? Shortly after that things dramatically fell. I see a number of WTB ads now same as in 07-08. Yes, if I thought I could get 75K for an MG42 I'd be inclined to sell.... I think? Course the temptation if it's worth 75 today, will it bring 85 by spring........or 35 if the bottom drops out? I tend to think it's crazy money until I look at winchester rifles at 50-100K with no provenance other than "rare", vs. firearms that changed the face of nations and the world, like some of the guns we own, then 75K sort of looks like a bargain?
