Black Widow Rig goes for 10k

I concur... a NICE example of a byf 41... but WAY overpriced by a couple of orders of magnitude! I hope the buyer is happy, but certainly not a happy as the seller!

WOW! Must be all the zeros on the parts.

Here's what it has going for it.... extremely nice condition, not mint, but nice... and we can assume, high dollar for that, but there are some, "but dammits!" on it also?? Gun, mags and holster all have slight issues, ... So, it's probably not all condition generated... First strong price point, probably because in the world of byf 41's, this is a fairly rare bird... E/135 marked, and right at the end of production of the 41's..... Next, low serial number & 00 on all the small parts, I thought I was immune to this aspect of collecting, but I must admit, it is a clean looking unit... Third, it's a Black Widow, some better then a regular widow, and quite a'bit better then a white widow (Nickeled) ..

......Now, to me, that doesn't bring it up to 10K.... maybe 5K ??? Unless there is more, and there certainly could be.... By the way, I could fix that rusty fxo mag pin for him!...

... might add another K!

... Best to all, til...lat'r...GT
