Title: Missed a good one
Post by: padams8888 on August 15, 2017, 12:38:00 PM
So the other day, an SKS 84 popped up on GB...I believe the bidding started at $495 or $500. It was an 84, with original box and two magazines. The magazines were not pictured, but I am willing to bet that one or both were serialized to the weapon. There was no BIN or I might have jumped. The next morning when I woke up and was checking auctions, that auction had ended suddenly, and then re-posted with a BIN and poof.....it was already purchased. Did any of you pick it up? Curious to see what overall condition it was. I'm at work, so I cannot get into gun broker to find the ended auction, but dang.....original box??  cry1

Can you go thru your browser history and link the pages for the two auctions? I've never seen one for sale.

Really weird....it won't come up on a completed listing search. Do you remember how it was listed?

Ahh Pat. Assuming the original auction was a $450 starting bid too, this will be one that haunts you for a little while.   I'd love to get my hands on a assault carbine like that!  thumb1
