My original thought was to say it was like polishing a t*rd!A pig would be a $6,000 Glock. An M&P is more of a nice Guernsey milk cow, to keep the barnyard metaphor alive.

The high bidder only has 2 feedbacks, there is a chance that he will not pay if he does win. This is always a chance you take on gunbroker, or anywhere for that matter.
I found this on Mr.colinnoir.

There are 12 bids on this gun right now and all I can think to say is WTF over!?!?!
For $6000 lets see what we could do:
Option 1:
4 GLock 19's @ $500 (each) would be $2,000
4 M&P 9's @ $500 (each) would be $2,000
Night sights for all 8 pistols would be about $100 each for $800
Spending the remaining $1,200 on 9mm at $15 per 50 would be 4,000 rounds of ammo.
Option 2:
2 PSA M4's with Eotech that were on sale today for $1K each would be $2,000
1 G19's with night sights would be about $1,200
9 120 entree serving buckets @ $200 each is another $1,800
1 Berkey water filter and all the spare filters I could want with the remaining $1,000
Option 3:
Go on an awesome Grizzley bear hunt in Alaska and buy the wife a T shirt while I'm there.
That M&P better have been crafted Mt. Sinai and forged out of unobtanium and have my name in gold letters engraved on it. And it better come with an unlimited magazine that fires magic bullets or something. That's just insane.
I'd drop that 6k on a Surgeon rifle.
*NO* M&P is worth 6K. None. I don't care whose sweat has been on the grip or if it killed Osama.
Ever seen an old West cowboy carrying a plastic gun? I don't think so. They knew that the heat out West can melt a plastic gun and wisely stuck with SAAs and Schofields.
We'd be wise to heed that wisdom.
The gun IS really nice with a ton of additions and modifications.
So INGO, what would you have thought it should be worth. Obviously to someone it is worth over $6k.
I think it would be fun to pretend the auction just started at $.01 and hear what folks thought was more of a practical price for that gun. Not to be sarcastic or berate you, I'm genuinely curious.
