Other than 'this is what someone bid', is there a reason this Rockola went for $ 2,000?

and why $ 1,800 was bid on this one?

and why this one went for $ 1,750?

    Rock-Ola made almost the least amount of carbines. The more scarce, the higher they sell for.

    Wow, those things have really increased in value! That is way more than I would ever spend for a rifle like that!

    I was looking for something unique in these three to justify the price. This is more than twice what I paid for one (all Rockola, high-wood, flip rear sight, push safety, etc.) at Cabelas a couple of months ago. Thought I did OK, and just assumed there was something in these three that I was not seeing or was not familiar with.

    There are still some of us that can't believe a M1 Carbine would sell for $1000, let alone $2000. My Inland cost $15 and was shipped directly to our home. Granted that was 45 years ago. Glad it wasn't a Winchester, Postal Meter or Rock-ola, I would now feel bad shooting it.
