2ndArmored Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 In the ad, the owner states that he doesn't want to sell it - just relist it (to get back his ad fee due to a delinquent buyer.) Hence the astronomic price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndArmored Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 That accounts for its malfunction during Operation Anthropoid. It was still full of lunar dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxfaxdude Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I've bought MGs from the TPI before but at a FMV price. But in this case, did he add an extra zero by mistake?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Henley Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Another example of a non-paying bidder on GB and the ridiculous actions you have to take to recoup the buyer fees and taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffshot Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 All his guns are crazy overpriced. I don't believe he has ever sold any at the prices he advertises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Believe it not there are a couple people who I know that have dealt with him, and after hearing the stories...I would not. Sometimes a big inventory is because nothing has sold? My favorites are the M134 castings. If buyers had any idea what it really takes to machine them to an actual correct spec they would never sell, but as one friend often states "selling the dream".

It was a very good price and the gun was better than I expected. He was absolutely fantastic to work with. F3 approved to my dealer in about a day. And he dropped it off 3 days later at my dealer as he was heading South for a vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
