mickey d Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Been watching the auction site and can’t believe the bids I’m seeing for M4 and 1014 Benellis. Is it the due to the social unrest or have the actual values skyrocketed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this, https://www.gunbroker.com/item/870387500, over $4k for a stock 11707!!! It would appear that there is just that much of a demand for these items right now...like most common firearms at this point. A lot of parts and accessories for this platform are sold out as well.

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. There are others at $2500+ and people continue to bid up a 11707. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the new going rate. This makes me feel a lot better for the price I purchased mine for. LOL and here I thought $1799 was a hefty price tag!

Doc Sween Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Guess I'm pretty lucky. Just picked up my M4 from my local FFL. Total cost: $30 for FFL fees. Won it in an NRA raffle. Shot it for the first time yesterday. Sweet gun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNtadpole Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) @Doc Sween LOL well I was feeling good about my past purchase until you said you got yours for free! Congrats man. I'm loving mine too. Literally the stock of ammo locally can't keep up with the amount I'm wanting to put through it ?

jimbo45 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I saw that auction too and its crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNtadpole Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Here's another auctions that's likely on its way to reaching those numbers too. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/869721672. This particular auction is on a pre-owned M4, so I would be curious to see if that influences the price differently. I showed my GF these auctions and she was asking me why I didn't buy two M4s! She thinks I should sell mine now for profit and re-buy it again when the market goes back to normal. HA HA I was like "Heck no, I love this thing...why would I sell it!?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I wonder what my NP3+ M4 would go for on there right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Some guy caught a bid on that 6k legit H2O new in box. Though it's not a sale until it's paid for. Edited June 11, 2020 by Milspec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo45 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I just saw that. 6k for an m4 is nuts. I went to a couple of gun shops this past weekend and they were packed but I didnt realize things had gone this far. It will likely only get worse as we get closer to the election.

MNtadpole Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Is think the auction you guys are talking about? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/869911245. @jimbo45 I'm relatively new to firearms ownership and gun/ammo-grabbing pandemics. Can you explain why everyone has the conclusion that the stockage of guns and ammunition will probably not improve until after the election? Is it only because people worry about the possibility of no longer being able to purchase certain items under new leadership...and in turn accept the idea of boating accident to occur to their owed possessions?

Milspec Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Yup that's the one. I think it's been listed at least a couple times and now they got a bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one has real NP3 plating not cerakote like the newer H2O's. Still a ton of loot no doubt. SD does a much more thorough plate job on his builds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraBG Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 That bid of $5999 is crazy. This is not the right time to purchase a firearm, especially a highly sought after one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktaba85 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have three M4s and been thinking if I should sell them to make money but I keep thinking if they'll stop importing them. IMO, the M4 never loses value. I got the H2o last year and I have contemplating of making double or triple my cash! I knew this was a nice investment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo45 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thats correct the issue is that the left is very much anti 2a and will certainly try to restrict our rights based on there desire for us to be powerless not as they say in interest of public safety. 2225 for a mossberg 590 is worse than m4 h20 price. I have no idea why anyone would pay that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and now is about the worst time to be trying to stockpile ammo.
