What were m11/9's selling for in the late 90's?

[Aim4fun]

I just recently purchased an FA NIB m11/9. The guy I bought it from said it has been in his inventory since 1997. I'm sure he made quite a profit off of me. I was just wonder how much? So, if anybody purchased theirs in the late 90's, what were they going for?

if i remember right $500-$800

I have heard quoted by a long standing businessman, that he bought a pallet of SWD m11/9's when they went bankrupt for $25 each. He said he still has one left.

My guy Bob at Bob's Guns in Denton, Tx wanted $400 in 1991.

But you shouldn't think like that. That will drive you crazy. It's worth what it's worth now.

I bought my NIB M11/9 in 1991 for $350.00. Also bought my M16 that year for $950.00.

I looked at my March 97 issue of Machine Gun News. M11/9mm NIB $600. I was going to buy one from my local dealer in MID 97 for $699 two months later, when I had the cash, the price jumped to $995. I said that I would NEVER pay that much for a M11/9mm. Paid $3000 for one 3 years ago.

I have seen that skid

I will bet there was more than one...

Last summer you could buy a NIB M11/9 for $3300 off subguns.com

This year the same gun would go for 4000 easy

We should all be glad these NFA guns didn't inflate faster than they did.

There's nothing keeping them from going right to 10K.

Any guns you want, you'd better buy them ASAP.

The most expensive Mac I bought was the 380 in 94 at $550. The cheapest one was an M-10/9 for $225 in '89. The others ranged from $300 to $350 all through the 90-94 period.

When transferables become that expensive, it will make getting an SOT that much more attractive.

Seeing these numbers makes me wanna kill myself. Why did I have to be born in 1987? Anyway I've already watched my $3000 investment in my M11/9 grow just in the few months I've owned it.

 

[MAC MAN]

We all feel that way no matter when you were born. When I was in the army in 1984 I bought my first machine gun. A Colt M16A1 New In The Box for $1100.00. I don't have that gun anymore. I do still have the gun I traded for it. If we had only known.

I have seen that skid

was that a US or METRIC skid?, and how many did it contain..

 

[abundigas]

I bought one in 1998 for $700.00. Dont know how many were there, but I seem to remember that the total was near 2000 units.

Wow! Makes my $4475 last month sound insane! Maybe 10 years from now I will look back and wish I had bought 2 for that price. I sure feel like I took a beating right now though!!!

Now imagine Romney gets elected, republicans take the Senate, keep the house, and a couple of Liberal Supreme Court Justices retire. A small motivated political action group (NOT THE NRA) manages to introduce legislation that eliminates the Huges amendment. My SWD M11 that I paid 3200 for is now worth the $400 it should be worth. Now you know why the NRA will never try to repeal the Huges amendment

A .380 was listed for $5500 yesterday at the Albany gun show.

The NRA is not going to waste any money on NFA laws. It would be completely futile.

The only way anything at all will ever happen with NFA laws is if dozens and dozens of politicians all suddenly decide they want to destroy their careers and be put out of office so that a small subset of gun collectors can buy cheaper machine guns.

Imagine a politician trying to convince a vast army of supermarket shoppers and dancing with the stars fans that the USA needs lots more machine guns in the hands of private citizens.

the democrats would have a field day with it: "THEY'RE TRYING TO PUT ADVANCED LASER BEAM PARTICLE WEAPONS INTO THE HANDS OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN!!! WE'LL ALL DIE!!!"

Politics is not about right and wrong, it's about who can sell the biggest pack of lies to the largest number of brain dead morons.

That's the reality.

Back when I graduated from college, you could still buy 60's hemi mopar cars for less than 10K.

At the time, they were just old cars that got amazingly shitty mileage.

That's the key to speculating, buy what everyone else thinks is lame and sell it when everyone thinks it's wonderful.

Personally, I think the NFA market has a long long way to go before it peaks out.
