Public Sale of Surplus U.S. Army 1911s

[Mac Cat]

Sounds/reads like a Chinese fire drill, to me.
It is a LOT of guns to handle, as well, so I get there is some overhead cost.

How can you command RETAIL prices, for guns that one probably can't examine or choose.

I wondered if anyone will be test firing them, first ?
You know, the way the German's proofed re-worked weapons.
