I am very surprised that a collector friend called me asking about this gunbroker C96 with cardboard box. He's relatively new in the field and mainly buys things based on sellers' reputation... He is attracted by this gunbroker C96, Needless to say, he's happy with the seller in the past, "he's a great guy". Great guy's items must be all great, that's the assumption.
After I told him all those points, he asked "with all those that you mentioned, what's price for it?"... well, after hearing this analysis, he's still attracted, then, it's hard to answer, that depends on bidders.

[Edit] I recommended him to take a serious look on Legacy's flatside and sent him the link.... has money to spend is good, and should spend on the right thing. It's up to him though, it's his money
