I cannot help but think (because I haven't checked lately) that the M11-a1's aren't far behind, all due no doubt to the fine family of Lage products that Richard and team have rolled out over the years.

Draw your own conclusions but if you look at the hammer prices from their past auctions, all of the prices are interestingly high…

Agree - Many have drawn a conclusion.
Their M16A2 auctions a few months back were just ludicrous

A year or so ago I pulled the record on that sellers bids and demonstrated suspicious and likely shill bidding patterns. I reported this to gunbroker and they did nothing about it. I suspect something is fishy. Maybe it's a money laundering operation, I don't know, bu I just don't get how it would work as these require real government transfers. I'd love to see a FOIA request on the items that are selling to confirm they are actually changing hands.

I'd also love someone near Hillsburg PA to go pay a visit. Otherwise, I'm going to have them sell my stuff going forward :laugh

There were 2 prominent bidders in the Keystone auction. Sometimes common sense is overruled by egos. With their low feedback numbers, this just may have been the case. That said, Keystone does have drawing powers. or you just may see the SWD in next weeks auction?

While I don't think we will return to machine gun prices from 15-20 years ago, I think the current market is unsustainable and overinflated.

Thank you for remembering. I can’t take there prices seriously. There auctions are known to go way high for no reason. Well talked about on the hkpro forum

red background and white gloves embellish the auction somehow, driving insane premiums on hk's and now macs.. LOL Keystone was buying up the for sale section on HKpro and flipping them on gunbroker. Proven fact and admitted by them on HKpro

I know the seller from past interactions, and their shop is local to me. They’re also HUGE in the colt collecting community. While I hesitate to make any formal accusations, all I will say is they get WAAAAY above top dollar on nearly everything they sell. I know them to also have a clientele of VERY deep pocket individuals, but they haven’t even been in the NFA game that long. And I find it a little hard to believe that they’re able to consistently realize prices that are 20-35% higher then what these same guns can be bought for elsewhere on a near daily basis.

I think there’s some fishy stuff going on with some of these funbroker sales (Maybe laundering money or something akin to that).
I really hope that’s not the case because we don’t need MG’s in the news as most politicians don’t even realize they can be legally owned by citizens.

Agree - knock 30-35% off and
That is where the general market is at…

Keystone just bought the 3 consecutive m11s on Sturm for 11k each!
So I guess buy high, sell higher? I'm interested to see what they resell them for when they put them on GB.

BUT they also always have the Cheesy measuring tape in a picture. I have tried the red back ground haven’t done the white gloves or measuring tape yet. I guess I will start.
