Went to a farm auction today where they had a few firearms including an average looking M1. It brought $2950.
The last ones I saw on gun shows were going for $1200-$1500. Have they skyrocketed lately?
They had a table full of assorted ammo adjacent to it, and before it sold some bonehead who obviously knew nothing about M1's tried to put a clip of live ammo in it. Thankfully, he didn't succeed, but people were starting to back away. I don't think the idiot even realized if he'd have succeeded in seating the clip of ammo he'd have been standing in the middle of a crowd with a loaded rifle. Although the bolt probably would have gotten his thumb on the way shut.
All the firearms sold for twice what they should have, although I caught the auctioneer bumping bids. On a Colt .357 DA revolver, the bids went from $250 to $300 to $350 to $700, and sold for $850. What the heck?
It was a desirable piece, but you can buy them by the dozens for $400-$500.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
