minimal description & marginal photos

Marlin 1894S on the block. $320 + $30 shipping

I have seen these rifles bring nearly twice the current bid (20 minutes to go) but we don't get much info about this one.

The description says, "Scratches, nicks and other normal signs of wear - Pictures show any marks" but the photographs are not detailed at all. Neither the photos nor the description tell us if this rifle has the hammerblock safety.

Auctions like this can be great bargains or great disappointments.

You would think that a buisness would invest in a higher resolution camera for posting items on here.

It would make all the difference in those pictures.

They've got several less than happy customers. I would venture to guess that as a pawn shop they will be satisfied with whatever profit is represented by the minimum bid.

That's nothing. Here's my favorite - no seller rating, no description, no pictures with a $5,900 "Buy it now". [:0]

Yeah, but I wouldn't pay more than $5,800 with that little bit of info. [;)]

Heck if it is 1864, it might be a book published in 1864 and worth less than $5.00. If you will give $5,800 for that, I will get you a really nice book from 1864 and only ask a $2,000!!
