Roland the Thompsongunner Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 What am I missing here? This seems crazy or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMG28 Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 You are not missing anything. Just two bidders going against each other who HAD to have this mag. Looks like a standard Colt Patent Date to me. Certainly not worth $901. A lot of buyers out there have more money than sense. Then again, they havent made any of these since 1939, so at some point it may be worth that, especially with inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmagee1917 Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Had a friend who wanted something but kept getting sniped at the last second . Had to go to an event , so he placed a stupid high bid so he'd be sure to get it . Told me about it at the party and I said " Great ! Now if nobody else does the same..." Ruined the party for him . He won the item at a decent price.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Henley Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Here's another one that baffles the mind! https://www.gunbroker.com/item/931789646 I bought one new in the box for $210 two years ago, and I thought that was expensive for a tin box.

TennesseeTaylor95 Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Seeing these recent GB auction prices are making me think that I won't be finding an original or repop flat ejector or another Savage 1928/1928A1 trigger frame for a display gun anytime soon (or it will cost me both arms and a leg to acquire them).

Countryboy77 Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 I think its time for another quality reproduction .Priced at just over what they were.The person that has these is treating it like the diamond exchange ano only letting one out here and there for max profit keeping them. unobtainable.

Phil Askew Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 What are the going rates for a patent date mag or the plain ones too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 It would appear that the value is whatever the market will bear....I was thinking $65-$85 for Pat Date mags but I muse be behind on the times with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 What are the going rates for a patent date mag or the plain ones too ?Depends on condition. Nice ones were going for about $125.00 a few years ago, maybe more now. Blank ones are harder to find, so maybe in the $150.00 range. Of course, with the new crop of Thompson buyers on GunBroker paying over $1,000.00 for a reproduction spare parts kit, who knows what someone might pay for one.

Mike Hammer Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 The seller must be a member on this board, I wonder if he would chime in on his opinion on the prices these item sold for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reconbob Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I have sold several Patent Date mags on Gunbroker in the previous 6 months. They were in VG-EXC condition, but had a flat finish so had probably been sandblasted and reblued. They went for around $85-$95. I had one with the original bright finish that went for $125.

maxfaxdude Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Here's another one that baffles the mind! https://www.gunbroker.com/item/931789646That same buyer, who appears to be an FFL, also bought a NIB Glock 21 recently for $755 plus $25 shipping. A Glock 21 in any condition isn't worth anything north of $550. Edited May 8, 2022 by maxfaxdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
