"Things " which greatly affect a sale price range without even looking at the condition, are:

1...The provenance. https://tinyurl.com/z3mxzjb

2...The markings.... Nazi markings, especially the SS Units boost the "value."

3...Whose weapon was it, German, Polish, Russian, Israeli, Yugoslavian, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden, etc ...There is a long list...... https://tinyurl.com/y5o7apff

4... AND finally, how many bidders "MUST HAVE IT".

I want a shooter that I can shoot a deer with. As much as I'd love an eagle or mum it is only a historical image that can be swept away as easily as the words m1 carbine inland were. Sad.

Yeah that's more than I want to spend on a rifle that'd get occasional use around the bush or range.
