they go for @$800 from what have seen. I bought a winchester m1 carbine 20 years ago for $225. Then traded it for a toolbox. I still have the toolbox.

I'd be careful about buying at an auction. Emotions can run high and overtake common sense when you get caught up in the high of bidding on something against other people. Also make sure you can thoroughly look the firearm over, and preferably shoot it before you buy it.

if it was a 1940s issued kbar, you got a decent deal. you can get brand new for about $85, usmc stamped.
