I never thought I would see an RC go for this much……
I am ignorant on the topic, but is that a fake rune or is this an actual SS contract RC?

I just don’t get the attraction, most rcs are ugly, & SO many essess rifles offered for sale are fake.

I agree with Mike, that barreled receiver looks legit, but before you get too freaked out about that price, I'm not convinced it's a legit 'sale', based on the winner and that Jacob.Thiel guy who bid about 50 times. Sure doesn't look legit to me. Sadly this is nothing new to GunBonker. I'll bet this will be relisted soon enough.
Do you think it’s the seller bidding it up with a burner account? Or did it go beyond the price of a legitimate buyers budget, so they used a fake account to win and force it to be delisted after non payment?
Not the best help imo, I scored a S/42 Kreigsmarine rifle from them but the bolt pics were terrible and I thought it was matching but when in hand I found out it wasn't :/ but for 1,200 bucks I couldn't complain especially with how early it was.

I can't say the circumstances exactly, but I believe the former. We previously documented a GunBonker account who would bid certain auctions up to the sky, 'win', only to have the item relisted yet he still repeatedly got an A+ from the seller? AND the same seller doesn't ban that guy and lets him keep running up other auctions?? Totally nothing to see there.

That's another shitbag seller tactic IMHO. Lots of pictures clear as day, yet that questionable detail he just can't seem to get the camera to focus properly. Another red flag is 100s of photos including dozens of the length of stock and barrel with no markings BUT oddly no pics of parts that should be marked and matching.

Shill bidding is very prevalent on gunbroker and you can see trends with certain sellers and how people always seem to bid on their listings.
