I saw some of those Weaver sets on Stout go for reasonable prices but you have to remember that was the "gavel" price. They add a buyers fee, tax and shipping to the gavel price. My $250 purchase at the auction very quickly became almost $350 after all the add ons. Still a reasonable price for what I bought but 40% additional by the time it arrived to my door is a bit excessive in my opinion. I would imagine they charge $60 or more to ship an entire set and the buyers fee increases with the gavel price so the $800 Weaver set quickly becomes over $1100-1300 by the time the "lucky" buyer gets it delivered. Ebay snags 10% of the selling price and another 10% of the shipping so I venture to say the people that bought them to resell really are not making that much of a profit.
