Just Curious - how much....

I have decided to stop posting what I pay for guns as it is something that is between the buyer and seller and in this case a private transaction rather than a public auction.
But, I will say this:
This was a trade deal where I had a gun that the previous owner wanted and a Valmet M62 wasn't even on my radar. I did some research to see if I could come up with a value on it, but there are so few of these that come up for sale I had to go back several months to find some sales. Last May, one sold for over eight thousand dollars on Gunbroker, and a few weeks later one sold for around $7500. Bear in mind that the M62's with the cheese grater handguard and bicycle grip are rare. I am not exactly sure just how rare they are, but I have heard estimates that much less than a hundred were imported.
While I won't say what I paid for it, let's just say that I did very, very well on the trade.
And just for the record, the tacticool thing was meant as a joke.
