Completed gunbroker auction, why so much?

[mpdphil]

I bid on this auction early on:

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/973754892
 

Did this go so high because of the bolt? All the other parts are readily available from Numrich except the action bar, but there’s one on gunbroker that has been stagnant with an opening bid of $250 I believe.

When I recently sold my Reising and a complete spares kit i went through the exercise of detail pricing all the parts using the lowest quoted prices for each part from Keystone, Sarco and Numrich.  I came up with a total just north of $1100 so I would not consider this price out of line.

This is the action bar:

It was $145, but it did appear to be welded/repaired.

There is a action bar on gunbroker that has been welded on it appears.     I asked the seller and he said he did not notice that issue ha ha

It helps if you post a link or at least the auction number

The only Reising action bar I found on GB was for a .22

I looked today and it was not listed and I did not have the number.   On the side of the rail you could see where it was tig welded.

Repaired action bars are sadly not uncommon.  That part takes a fair amount of abuse.  If the repairs are done properly there is usually no problem
