I hear you but in fairness GB is simply running the listing. Is the joker the Seller.. or the Buyers ?

On Abramham Lincoln's Facebook page it says he has personally shot every single one of the guns mentioned here. Now we know the answer.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet...

This is what I was talking about;

There’s still 5 days left on the auction. This will be interesting to watch.

 

[jonathan butcher]

I’m not a buyer for sure... not that, at anything over about 300 bucks.

I wish Pietta would bring back the Starr Single Action.

Exactly the point of my post. While other Italian reproductions may have gone ‘up’ the Paterson repros have gone through the roof, selling at 4-5 times their value. Not Navy’s, not Armys, the Italian made Paterson. I can’t explain it.

It it was me buying then I'd like to see the videos of him actually doing it.

And that is why I stay off of GunBroker! Jeez, $1200 for a Uberti black powder percussion revolver! I evidently need to start selling mine!

 

[CaptainKirk]

That's just nuts. "Just say no". If people would stop paying ransom-esque prices for Italian imports maybe the hucksters will re-think their game.
I could have bought that gun brand new in 2019 for around $750.00.

How bad do you want one?

 

[jonathan butcher]

I stupidly sold my Pietta Starr SA- and am on track to buy one again if it surfaces at a decent price!
As to the Paterson this over-price trend has been going on for about a year. For some unknown reason that gun is selling often for 2-4 times what any rational person should pay. Just a few mos ago an otherwise unremarkable Uberti Paterson sold for $1850! Think about that for a moment. Why this gun ? Why now ? If I can find that sold listing I’ll post it.

I couldn't find the Paterson listing which sold for $1850 but I did find this one. I hope you have a canteen of water handy, this Navy Arms Paterson sold for almost $3,275!

I know right ? Still, this phenomena deserves an explanation. Why is a Italian reproduction Paterson c&b revolver selling at over $3k ? It isn't mistaken identity nor is it a predatory seller. Look at how many bids that listing got. These people wanted this gun. Is it simply because it's out of production ?
