[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2472398, member: 7157"] What bsmith said. Not just M1 Garands, but pretty much everything will be on the high side. Don't use the CMP prices as a baseline to determine Garand values in the "real world" - typical gun show prices will be at least several hundred dollars higher than what the CMP charges, fair or not. I often see dealers asking $1000 for what costs $650 shipped from the CMP, and their "justification" is that the rifle is available right now, not several months from now. Obviously, they're preying on the impatience of a potential buyer. Even those walking around with Garands will be asking high prices, though they may be more willing to negotiate especially if they've been lugging that heavy rifle around a while. I'd suggest looking, but if nothing jumps out at you that you just have to have, walk away and look in the classifieds on here and other firearms forums. You'll usually find better prices that way, and there are a lot of Garands floating around for sale. [/QUOTE]
