paladinjme Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 ...you could sleep good at night after selling such a line of BS...and YES, I am jealous that this person has the 'gift of gab' such that it allows them to get $4300 for a $2000 - $2200 gun. Zero FB bidder means a probable non-payer and we'll see it listed again..but still... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=330097560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Wow, it's like watching a rape with popcorn. It isn't even assembled with that great of components. I can't say he gouged them, since it was started at a buck. The fools bidding went full retard. Hopefully they actually pay him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The fools bidding went full retard. This. ^^^ Seller may have been in on the bidding and tried to squeeze the lemon one too many times at the close. What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Maybe he's in Colorado and pressed. Still? 2500 over its value? The seller is probably rubbing his eyes in disbelief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbuzz Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I watched that auction, and couldn't believe what I saw. At first, from the way he described the gun, the seller made it sound like he had some special connection and had obtained a rare, special model from Benelli. Then when he added the extra information on 2/24,25 the truth came out. It sounds like he took a stock Benelli M4 which can be bought for approximately $1600-1800, unless you overpay (I paid $1600 for mine), added a steel full length steel magazine tube for approximately $160 (replacement spring free), a new set of forends for $60, and a new US follower for approximately $15, for a total outlay of approximately $1835 plus tax, added a good amount of hype and BS and wound up selling it for $4275, approximately a $2400 profit. Not a bad day's work. I just wonder how the buyer will feel when he realizes that he paid over twice what the M4 was worth. It's still a beautiful gun, but not at twice the price.

StrangerDanger Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I always wondered what desert Benelli went to when picking their pastel tan color. As much as I wanted to like it, I couldn't. I guess it would be okay if I was hiding in the world's largest Banana Cream Pie, and low crawled below the cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletre Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Strange times indeed. If someone offered me that much for mine I would have to think hard to convince myself not to do it. Makes me wonder what I could get for my HK M1. I'll say this though, about a month ago I traded 400 rds of 223 ammo to a LGS for a S&W MOD 27-2 3.5 inch even. Strange times!

Zeke Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I bought mine a little over a year ago, paid $1650. At that time everyone here was stating that it could 've been had for around $1450. I was kind of bummin at the time, anyway, all is well and I love this thing. Badest shotgun on the planet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango two Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 What's considered nowadays to be a good or bargain price for the 11707 BNIB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Had a similar deal today. Sold a FN Five Seven pistol with about 800 rounds of ammunition, a Surefire X400, a Raven Concealment holster and about ten factory mags for 3000 dollars. I bought the pistol for like 900 bucks. There might be 1100 in accessories. I figure I scalped a 1000 bucks on a used pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
