Will I have bidding competition from any other forum members

I'd bid if it included a pair of consecutive serial number Colt revolvers in that cartridge. Preferably nickel plated (to match the tool).

Just for fun, I put in an offer of $45…. Which yielded a total with tax and shipping of $80.10. 
What if I get it 

Wow! Just wow! 

How do you suppose folks come to these prices? What are they using as a source or comparison for value.

Shaking my head while I sort through the junk, err, high grade antiques in my collection…..

I got mine already.  Inside and outside lubricated.

Glad it still has the aftermarket custom handles still on it.  Shows that it’s been used, often and knowledgeably, at least.

There’s not a trace of the original nickel on it, though it's in good shape otherwise.  But an unblemished one, in the original box, with the decapper, powder scoop and instructions, might go for a tenth of that, last I checked.

There was an old Rolling Block rifle with broken stock, and looked like it was drug behind a covered wagon on GB last week for $20,000 stating price! 
Supposedly attributed to some outlaw from Oklahoma, but provenance was pretty weak. And even if true it wasn't Jessie James, or a famous outlaw. And the gun was horrible!

Seems like every once in awhile somebody fishes for a sucker in hopes of either getting their poor investment back, or trying to make a huge killing on junk.
