H Richard - that is the one you should reference when trying to justify your asking price when you sell. "It must be worth $3000 - I saw one for sale on the Internet for that price!!!" You know people can ask whatever they want, or in the case of this auction "estimate whatever they want", but the proof will be in the sale price.
I think Rock Island can have some affect on the sale prices for their guns by pumping up the value estimates. If you look at some of the other items in their auction, you see some pretty high estimates on other guns that I am sure I could find for less elsewhere.
There is good news for this auction and I hope it continues at RI. Maybe they got the message about selling multiple guns in lots, since this Forum had a few discussions complaining about the practice.
