Why did this junk go so high, any thought?

From the 2nd pix, the horizontal cut on the chamber is longer than 1". This piece is for illustration purpose, not for shooting. It's not shootable even without that cut on chamber, the strength of the cut away bolt is questionable, and shaking during firing may spill small parts out. For my shooting purpose, I won't pay more than $1k but I would require all matching and great bore, poor blue is OK. Also, for shooting, better be a German gun. Heard rumor saying Chinese copy's chamber may explode (rumor, I have never acquired one of those so rumor only. Quality varies for sure)
