Hey M1 Carbine Experts! Need Help

[major burnout]

Thanks for the info guys. I looked up, there are also several listed on Gunbroker by Gander Mountain that are NRA Excellent condition for $2,000.00 to $2,800.00 Would these be pie in the sky asking prices by Gander Mountain (I do not like Gander Mountain, they have repeatedly hosed me on ammo orders) or are those high dollar amounts simply based upon grading, all matching, etc. Gander is rating them at NRA Excellent condition.

The rest of the Winchester M1 Carbines on GB seem to be in the $900.00 to $1,500.00 range.

Thanks,

Dan

My shooting buddys dad walked into a reno show with 3 carbines and walked out with 8k. Went back to the car and grabbed two more carbines and sold those to someone else for 5k. The first buyer saw him selling the other two and wanted to know why he didnt say he had more, "you didnt ask" was the response.

$300 for any working USGI M1 Carbine is an insanely good price.
Is that $300 in 2015 or did he buy it decades ago?

If he bought it decades ago that 300.00 price was a rip off, these used to go for 50.00 bucks all day long. And no I still wouldn't even pay the 50.00 for a carbine.

I bet you would if you'd known that $50 would turn into $1,000+
If we only knew then what we know now...
