Hey Guys.....remember, this guy is on a big time fishing
expedition........will he get $40K.....from one or two
buyers....possibly..??? Hard to say, considering these vehicles are no
"parade on the 4th" type things...these are very complicated, parts hungry
vehicles....and expensive I'll bet.
Gee....I wonder why Uncle getting rid of the things?
I'll venture to say that the price will drop...considerably...and not too
far off from now....as soon as somebody gets tired of them sitting around
at Victory Salvage........
As far as the MP44 goes, yes, used to get Reg Dewats for $900...when you
couldn't find a barrel for any price. Along come barrels and whoosh...there
goes the price. Look at all the US made weapons and what has happened to
the prices on all of them. 1918 was pretty common in the $2500 range just 5
years ago...now a Marlin Rockwell, transferable weapon will bring 12 to
15K. The US stuff was under priced for years as all european MGs were
selling for much more at the time.
But then, we are talking about MVs.........harder to hide, store, work
on......whatever!
Hope everyone had a safe, fun 4th.....God Bless America!
