Price of surplus rifle

I was in a local gun shop today and the topic of discussion was a Kar98k rifle from WWII. It was a dou44 with an aftermarket stock and evidence of some color bluing on a few of the metal parts. The shop was acting as the receiving FFL dealer for an internet purchase. The fellow that bought it paid $1,500.00 according to the copy of the receipt enclosed with the rifle. The shop owner and customers were amazed at the price. I offered to sell a few of my '98 Mausers for that price. All the best...
