That is exactly what I was thinking. I saw those prices on the WH and had to look twice. That represents about a $5000 increase in one year. Maybe eventually these overpriced pieces will sell, but for now they seem to be just sitting there. Unfortunately, my salary is not keeping up with the inflation of these prices and soon I will be priced out from owning anymore. I'm glad I got a Savage when I could.

He edits it out, and does a good job.
Several months ago, he had another 21 listed and he edited the serial number; all but the first number, the number "7". Many of us were wondering how he had a 21 with the serial number 7. Upon closer examination, you could see the rest of the number was blurred out.
I don't understand why people cover up the serial numbers of registered NFA weapons. There is no doubt who the owner is (see ATF form 4

The marking on the wood adds character to the item.
Overall, it looks to be in great condition.

Next point, you bought a house for 50K 20 years ago and so did the guy next door. He just sold his for 200k would you sell yours for 150k because you did not want to be greedy. So if you do not know the man take a trip to Pa. and meet him . He will spend an hour or two talking to you show you what he has and you can even get to see the serial numbers.
Next point, Thompson collecting . I think I am a collector in my collection I have 5, I do not post pictures or brag . 2 Colts 3 Savage's over 20 drums and enough parts that I have lost count . Lets see pictures who cares they all look the same . The wood looks bad the wood looks good what is that spot on the barrel . How can you tell a guy who bought a gun buy looking at a picture he got screwed. If he would have bought it from Van he would stand behind it 100% and that is a fact .
Last point. Please post your real name . So I know who you are .

The value is what someone is willing to pay.

Your points are well taken. However, it appears that for many items, Armament Services appears to be "ahead of the curve" as far as pricing goes. I do not recall anyone disparaging the character, honesty, or quality of service from them. Only the prices for the item (i.e., value).
Many of the items they have for sale remain on their Website for many, many months. Competitively priced items by dealers or individuals move in days, if not hours or even minutes on strumgewehr and subguns. I believe this bears out the preception of an excess price for the item at the time. After all, the market is the judge, not any of us in particular.
If they are able to mantain a viable business while keeping a high cash inventory for many, many months, more power to them. I wish them the best of luck.

The gun looks great - any idea what the "A C P D" stamped on the grip and stock stands for? |

One of the biggest mistakes I made in this crazy hobby. And I look at the picture often { a real picture } serial # 97 rember the price . What was it $3500 and that was only a few years ago. So what would that be worth today must be worth 50 k. May be we should contact him and offer him 10 and sell it for 10.5 and sell it to John Jr. That way he could get his Colt and we could take the wives out for dinner and still have tip money left.
Keep the posts comming.
