The most amazing thing is that "Gunbroker" is using "Phoenixinvestmentarms" beautiful pictures, admittedly they know how to "present" things to make them appear far more valuable to people than they really are.
It's funny to see how a photograph can be deceiving, only a few months ago I saw a COLT 1911A1 advertised for sale with a gunshop site, I knew the seller and the price was interesting but they had taken really awful pictures with the flash and the gun looked interesting at the most for its "parts". A few days later I was able to have a proper "hands on" inspection, I could detail stripped it, and I was simply amazed, that gun was absolutely nice, so in the end I bought it, and now it's showing itself off in my armoured window together with all the others.
