Sellers trying to score a home run on buyers have always been ripe for ridicule. The real problem with some of these Class III dealers is that they have eschewed all accepted methods of grading these guns in favor of the all encompassing non committal descriptions such as, "rare", "original", "desirable", and "collectable. It is one thing to attempt top dollar for truly fine examples of these guns, it is another matter to justify these prices for freakazoid pieces.

seem'd he ended up with it on a trade deal............i was five minutes ahead of getting it from a few other thompson collector's..........who's names i won't mention......
anyhow it was a good deal then,and actually priced very fair..............about $8,000.00 completed cased set.remember this gun was reblued and rebarreled,even the blank adapt barrel and comp came with it,
i of course since traded it for another {colt}model to a friend of mine..........so that was a good deal then,now for $40,000 for a run of the mill thompson................not for me!!!
yes i have a passion for these.and next to a few other collector's..........probably studied them the most...
{and owned, sold, and traded, over 130 of them}
i am happy with the one i have................and after seeing this ad, i guess now maybe i can sell this one for $100,000> wink!! just kidding..............
so i am sure somebody will want this one BAAAADLY!!!!
it is a sad state of affair's.......we have finally come to this......oh!well! the nature of the beast{thompson}
take care ron/colt21a

Hey guys... it si still` buyer beware`when it comes to used guns or cars or whatever.If someone ponies up that kinda cheese it just makes me feel better about my past deals on tmsgs. Most or us here researched our deals and probably did our homework and looked for quite sometime before gettin` our feet wet...then found a gun that we got a pretty good deal on based on prior knowledge..so if someone else pays too much it doesn`t change a thing for me..I still have 3 tmsg I will cherish for the rest of my life...my .02,out. ![]() |
yep and i got all my moolah back on every thompson i sold.............so in the word's of seinfeld!!! "hey i'm even"
its only the past ten years of newblood that has entered the "madness"
in another 20 years or so,who really is going to care anyhow..........in the word's of al capone,"i'm talkin about stayin alive..............

That translates to about $3500 New Zealand dollars and it twice what they were two years ago here so we have obviously caught the same "Thompsono fever" down here.
Interesting though, a 30 round mag sells for about $100.00 down here.
