Unless one of the two bidders is a shill for the seller. Notice the buyer won by $20.
I was at the Tulsa Gun show this weekend and saw a few 27-2's in mint condition with the factory box carrying 1800-2400 price tags, and I actually think that is closer to the mark than that GB auction. Thanks for the input everyone.
The condition, the package, and at least two bidders with deep pockets. That is all it takes in the internet auction age.
