Title: Kills me how some people settle on such odd prices?
Post by: 45flint on August 28, 2020, 10:40:25 AM
Already bought my M1 but I saw this yesterday and have seen others pick such odd prices?  $481?  Why not 475, 500 or even 480? Lol

Likely because they have a fixed or known amount they want after fee's, shipping or what not ?
As example ... my guess would be seller wants to pocket @ $450 and the extra @ $31 is added to cover fees, packaging etc  ..   just a WAG tho  ::)

Is that price in the realm of reality? Not knowing anything about the collectability of this model , I'd offer the shipping price for the airgun if the seller was a good friend.

Seller is in Portland Oregon. Doe anything make sense up there?

Would a V 350 fit in that case in place of an M 1? They go for pennies on the dollar compared to the replica firearm. With all the replica guns coming out these days I figured vintage replica model values would nose dive except for .22 models, but they haven't.

Looking at the straps it has to be a M1.  Already have one on the way that was a much better price than above, that’s ridiculous!

 They may have set their max bid higher, but who ever was bidding up gave up right there and that is final max bid for the winner.

I think what Steve is referring to is the "Buy it now" price being set at the odd number of $481.
