Absolutely BEAUTIFUL pistols/works of art!! I wonder how much they'll ultimately bring at auction? I'm sure it will be more money than I'll make in the next decade...

Amazing what someone will pay for something so useless.

This sounds like a calling for me to make crappy mechanical shit and sell it at a price only an insanely rich idiot could afford. I think I'll do something like this and tear apart a Glock and put a pitbull barking or something, but I know it will really sell if I put some yappy, worthless toy dog on it.

Starting price is $3 million and I promise that I will never make another one ever again so your investment is safe.

"Hi, interested in any trades? I have a gently used High Point and some ammo, oh and how many rounds have been fired? What accuracy are you getting when you do your part"

I don't find it listed among the results, so it apparently failed to make its reserve.

Here is a link to the finished/completed auction (best I can tell anyway):

http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_d...e2-485c67bc9632

It appears that it sold for roughly $5.87M US!!! It beat its max "estimated" price by roughly $750k!! Yup...like I said...more than I'll make in the next decade (or three decades but hell, who's counting)!
