I admit to paying too much for a gun or 2 in my life. This one has me scratching my head though. The rifle is just an ordinary 1975 336 in 30-30. Condition is very good condition and MAY be unfired. It looks like some safe nicks here and there. No box and papers the collectors like either. I get it the "JM" stamped rifles are gone forever and Remington and now Ruger took over the Marlin brand but this is nuts. I am an accumlator not a collectorso this gun has me rethinking the true security of my gunsafe. If anyone knows the reason why this rifle sold so high I would like to know. There were several bidders near the end of the auction too. www.gunbroker.com/item/925161550 |

I couldn't tell you why this rifle sold for so much. You would think that it would be because of a certain serial number or it being a special model.
If you look @ other rifles that appear to be the same model (and approximate condition) they are listed for much less money. Looking through the images it does appear to be in very good condition. The only exception to that being the image of the butt plate and it is fitted very poorly.

My guess is that you already called it... a bidding war between a couple of folks that REALLY wanted it and had the chips.
Somebody bought a Pokemon card for 900k so it's all in how bad you want it.
Crazy though!

Maybe it did sell for $10,000 but I'd be shocked if it did. That's probably 9-10 times more than what that gun is worth (based on the what I've seen them listed for) unless there's something really special about it that I'm unaware of. |

The trigger appeared to be solid gold.

shill bids...no chance it actually sold for that! I would suspect that from a buyer with a NR rating. Winner has a 60 rating going back to 2014 with feedback from mulitple sellers. www.gunbroker.com/a/feedback/profile/3212609 |

Winner has a 60 rating going back to 2014 with feedback from mulitple sellers. www.gunbroker.com/a/feedback/profile/3212609(from another site) "The seller can still be the one with, or know of that someone with, the A+ rating. There's no threat of a negative review if it's all coordinated by the seller of the marlin." |

I guess I do not understand shill buyers. Winner would have done this several times with several sellers.
#2 guy the same thing.
At $5K that rifle would probly be selling for more than 8 to 10x it's purchase price.
For the buyer the risk of his shill buyer would diminish as the price grew. Gunbroker fees would add up and futher increase his investment cost.
Two of the buyers latest guns and this one are around $50K.
Probably will remain a mystery for all unless the buyer makes a statement.
