Maggie’s Someone really wants this $6500 Costa M&P

[Ultraman550]

Costa / ATEI M&P9 - Extremely Rare - LNIB : Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com


This has to be a case of people just bidding to bid with no intentions of purchasing right?

 

[lowfill707]

its totally worth it. i think the stippling on the grip and frame costs around $1 per poke. they apply them using a traditional polynesian tattoo technique with a bone needle and tap stick. its very labor intensive and makes it shoot WAY better then a regular m&p

That would go really nice with the Costa/Larue AR I paid $11,000 for back in January...


...just kidding.


Only half kidding, because 2 Costa/Larues actually did sell on GB in the 11K range back in January during the peak of the panic buying!

Some yeah-hoo has met the reserve of 6025....go figure.

Wow...nice looking pistol but are to believe someone would pay that.

The bidder only has two feedback references. I'm gonna guess it's a fake user established by the seller to make it appear like someone would actually place such a ridiculous bid in hopes of getting some real fool to take the bait.

I heard there is Costa's underwear on EBay and the last bid was 10k. Awesome sweat-stains and all...

All about the stickers

Checked the buyers feedback Looks like he refused to pay for it. Said it was a mistake there was no way he would bid that much.

Gunbroker has a lot of things that get one bid, or get sold at one bid.
I was not used to anything like that, from Ebay.
I figured it was a fake bid made to serve one of two purposes:
first to make an item look like the opening bid value is in the range of acceptable
second to set some expected value to some 'sold' item, so if a 'similar' item - not the 'same' item - is listed again, shoppers can search for 'sold' items and get some sense of the going rate.
