I sold four of them for 220 each to a dealer. He sold them all at a good profit in a week. Its surprising what people will pay in a store as compared to you and me was into most of them for $95 -$115 so I didn’t need to get every penny. It was also easier than 4nes transactions and the obligatory, will you take $50 off?
It’s just not my favorite rifle. I would rather have one nice Mauser than 4 Morin’s
Thats a generous dealer,
A recent FFL story
i happen to go buy s dealer on a visit to a Dr. i stopped in just to check things. Had some variety.
One Garand just under $1500. Nothing special mid production SA mix master high end field grade at best.
FFL " thats a great rifle owner needs to move it so its price $300 less than he wanted"
ME: meh , i got a few already .........
The I see a few vintage 22 target rifles priced good, shocked really. i ask whats up with these.
FFL " owner has like 50 target rifles he just wants them gone"
ME: do you get garands in or other US service rifles in often
FFL: " oh yeah old shooters are dumping them to pay for hips an knees, they dont last but a week or so"
ME: you take trades
FFL"yup , would not be in business if I did not. "
ME: ok the three target rifles there....they are total ticket price $1700. i will trade you a M1 garand in much better shape than that one same serial range, a mosin M44 and a 91/30
For the 3 target rifles one of which only value is the sights.
FFL "yeah you know, those old surplus rifles just dont sell fast enough"
ME: laugh and just say, ok will you give me $900 cash for my M1? FFL, nope I dont buy garands consignment only.
