CMP to auction an M40......

[usmc69]

Probably two guys with no money screwing around. Their bidder numbers did not have any auction won behind their bidder number.

There were at least two individuals, according to folks at the CMP, that wanted this rifle really bad. One was a doctor, the other a high end collector. They both have the funds. Looks like my M-40 just increased in value. I am happy!

I sorry but there is no way it is worth 36.3g's but there is an old saying it's worth was someone is willing to pay for it.

Recently a Singer 1911A1 pistol sold at auction for somewhere just north of $165,000, which was almost $100,000 over what was expected. All the Singer owners were salivating over how much theirs had gone up, but within weeks another was sold at auction for less than half that amount. It just depends on how much two people want the same thing, and in no way establishes a hard value for every one like it.

Johnny P, you are absolutely right.

The CMP probably has 5 more to sell, wouldn't that suck!

I believe it is the only complete M40 they have ever recieved. They were surprised it made it to the auction.
