Gavin Gardiner's last auction Lot #169 sold for 3,000BPS which looks to me to be a bargain. Martin is a Brand Value level three (BV3) maker's name. The Original Quality grade looks to be about "A" grade which is OQ2 (close to a best work gun). Current Condition level looks to fit, "Limited use - slight finish wear, little shooting."
BV3-OQ2-CC2 = $9,771
Hammer price of 3,000 BPS = $4,200. Buyer's premium of 30% brings it to $5,460. So, delivered in US might come to $6,000.
This may well be a bonified bargain.
