Sig Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I am sure most will want to speculate here that this may not be an original. I know this TCA member and this one is original. Evilbay ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_Joe Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif No thanks I'd rather buy that Mk IV Sterling I saw the other day...... Over 4K for an empty box.... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif P. T. Barnum must be laughing somewhere.... Oh I know it's a real collector's item and the price could be right in line with the market, but it's just rediculous to me to spend that much for a tin box...... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIONHART Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 QUOTE Wonder if I should begin inventing rare Thompson accessories that never existed Phil, as everyone is aware, AO did have these Metal Boxes produced, and are quite rare today. His BIN Price is well within reason. Though back in 1992, one like it sold for $500.00 from a well known Thompson individual without any Parts.

pca16 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Jerry P. of Recon Ord. recently turned down 8k for complete kit. The origionals are rare and collectable. I am able to find Colt Thompsons easier than the ORIGIONAL spare parts kits(I have 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIONHART Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Jerry P. told a friend of mine that he sold 2 complete set's last year from $4500.00 to $5000.00. Have they really gone up $3000.00 in the last year?! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt21a Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 WOW!!! now $8,000.00 each..........i think we are getting hyped out of the market... gordon's will do for some people.... my suggestion.take $25,000.00 cash in c-notes' frame them and put them on a wall..in a room you go into everyday... and think of some thing's you do without or maybe might like to have...other pleasures in life> besides a "thompson" then say everyday as you walk by it...can't spend it can't touch it nope can't do it...thats a thompson in the safe... i now watch "combat" with a m.g.c.replica..wink!! and the framed moolah look's great!! however when guest's arrive they ask "is that for real??" oh on the empty spare kit price.......T.G. at its finest......hopefully it will sell for $89,000.00..then the gordon box will bring in at least a grand! it's still fun to read this stuff,maybe this year of 2005 we can hit a new high....we have to have the colt's at $50,000.00 plus.........take care,ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 How many original boxes were made? If they are selling from $4,000 to $8,000 dollars http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif , I would assume that it is a low number.

Murray Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 [Wonder if I should begin inventing rare Thompson accessories that never existed; they wouldn't be fakes, only the provenance I might concoct, with tongue in cheek.] Phil.....OH.....Phil........Not you as well.
