Yeah, given the condition of the M57, I was thinking $800-$850 max. And maybe the M29-2 fetches $900-$1K?

My sense is, before he brought them in, the owner had been eyeballing some of the crack-smokin' prices being asked for the more pristine examples of these guns, and then factored in the buying-panic of the pandemic, and decide to price his worn-but-still-decent guns on the high side.
