The same thing happens with cars as is going on with guns people with too much money love to bid on things and buy them for 10 times what they’re worth. Don’t get me wrong if you wanna pay 10 times what a gun is worth go ahead and do itbut I just think it’s stupid.

Winchester wasn't making many civilian rifle during WWII, and this would have been a very early pattern of the legendary Model 70. Was also in fantastic condition. To a collector of All Things Winchester, the original projection of $5.5-8.5k seems reasonable. But obviously 2 very affluent people had collections that this rifle would Complete (tm). And the auctioneers just made their client and themselves a shitload of money, so they want to show that off as advertising to anyone else who wants to sell anything of just how high they can drive that sale price for you.
