Commerical M1 Carbines

[scott024]

What in the wide wide world of sports is going on? Can someone please explain why commercial m1 carbines from makers such as auto ordinance, universal, and plainfield machine company are fetching mega premium prices. See link below for current auction that ends shortly. I realize everything is elevated right now, but is there something I'm missing. Carbines from these manufacturers rarely brought more than 400-450 in the first 8 months of 2020.

A brand new auto ordinance ordinance carbine was pretty close to $1000 to begin with several years ago when they first came out. They also are supposed to be pretty good actually reproductions so most all GI parts are interchangeable. That is if I remember correctly
