I have not bought Smith in some time, but I have picked up on some strange things going on in the market. Certain milsurps online, even run-of-the-mill stuff, has been selling for stupid money while other more collectible pieces get little interest. Now in my favourite pawn shop, the prices vary from OK to "Say WHAT!!" I am guessing then latter are over-priced consignment items. One thing I have noticed if that a shop is overrun with milsurps, dig deep and buy two because there can be a bulk discount.

As for the stuff selling for crazy money, how is it all these "suckers" have much more disposable income than me? They must be doing something right.
