The M6 was an interesting, innovative design but what about that asking price?

I bid on one a back in Dec '20 at IIRC Poulin's  (Tom Silver won the auction) and IIRC it sold for roughly half that amount.  I know prices have gone up in the last two years but double?  If this price isn't an outlier than those of you who have M6s are sitting on a gold mine. Enjoy

That's not the one I won.  Don't know who owns this one... Here mine.

Didn't you win that one in Dec 20?

Was it from Poulin?

Mine was won on Poulin auction house.  The one listed is for sure not mine. I have a different site than this early model 

 

 

yes and a number action seller had it auctioned. I did win mine from Poulin.  I believe the price before commission was 7000 and with commission something like 8300 or 8400.. I can understand the seller asking a lot for it. They are hard to find as you know. Everything is now super inflated with many SMGs...

Like I said, yours is the one I bid on.  The price on the currently listed one is insane even with the uptick in prices.  Reisings have gone up about 35% and Uzis about 50% in the same time period.

Yes, but you guys don't have completely refinished with high gloss urethane, reblued, with cracked front grip.    Those apparently are worth more?  In someone's eyes anyhow?

The seller may have gotten advice from the guy with the 1.5 million M240?   I get it, everyone wants to cover the GB fees and 1099's on GB?

As another data point, I bought a M6 off of GB this past January for $11,911.

Machinegun prices have gone through the roof!

Roughly 42% more than Tom paid so in line with the MG price tsunami.  the current GB listing increasingly looks like a complete outlier

At this point, I'd say $10 to 14 K is FMV.

I might have won it for 7000 but also paid another 1000 plus for the auction house commission. My price was around 8400. You must take into consideration the commission above the selling price.

Yes I agree. The M6 is hard to find and not many were made in the USA. UZI's have almost doubled, M16s are through the roof.  Even the Ruger 556 has gone up about 70 to 80%. I think the M6 should be worth a lot more money and also they wee under valued in the past in my opinion. A top shooter in my mind.

There are 3 M6's on GB now. Prices are just too high and they will sit.

Well those have been molested in one way or another. Really is the price to high considering the extreme prices of all the other MGs?  They have been under rated in my opinion.

"Molested" 🤣

One is beat to crap https://www.gunbroker.com/item/986720134

One has been overly refinished and prettified with a gloss blue and a  urethane finished stock. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/985989563

The third has some promise but is IMO priced a skosh too high https://www.gunbroker.com/item/990985643
