jdad-
That is my gun. I started the gun at a reasonable price. I rolled my eyes when I saw that the bidding had jumped like it has with the leading bidder having no history. I've been on the other side and my thoughts were the same as yours . . . it looks very suspicious. Oh, well, I guess everyone needs to make their first purchase. What a way to jump into the pool! Believe me when I say, if I was using a straw bidder, there is no way I would keep bidding. In fact, the losing bidder bid again today and the guy with no rating is still in the lead!
I will note that I've sold one other 39A Octagon in the past 1 year and it sold for $1500, and was no where near as nice as this one.

Thanks stubbfarmer. I think we've done some Marlin "business" in the past. But I can't remember what it was. Maybe you bought a Bill West book from me. The reason I remember is because I think your hometown is very near where I grew up.

Well if there is a cure for marlinitis it when the price reaches that high. Now if I had one I would be happy as a pig in s.... But I am looking for its brother and not quite at that price. Congrats on selling your rifle at that price who know it may go higher, the night is young.

Stubbfarmer-
I've got a couple friends that are going, but I won't be able to go. I here it is a good show. Unfortunately, most of the money is already spent on a few items I found at the Sioux Falls show! Pre-spending, as my wife calls it!

That sales price is unbelievable!!! (unglaublich und verruckt, as we say around here) I recently purchased a 1973 336 Octagon for less than $500, and the original price on the 39M Octagon was only $125! Talk about REALIZED investment potential - good for you BacktoBethel!!! Food for thought: an original 1922-26 Model 39 (no prefix) with 100% case coloring and 3X wood usually cannot bring that much...
