If the market is blowing up again, I'll have to keep my eyes open!
True depending on where you live. But in ban states they are priced like MGs to us.
In GA they go around $1500-2600 depending on condition and year. But then again I was the first of my friends to buy a non-hunting rifle back in 1977 (1976 SP1 purchase), so in GA they aren't very common in a gun store where I live, but everyone will turn and look at mine when I walk into the range with it and I've even been offered +$2000 for it but I won't sell. So your statement is true for your area of the country but where I live they sell for more and where one of my friends live I could buy a real M16 down here for the same price as the semi up there
