it would be funny if someone bought that set for like $8000 on GB, and then someone found a whole pallet of them at Sportsman's Guide Warehouse.
Maybe not that likely, but I saw the set on GB just went for $6K. Word tends to get around and guys outside the U.S. will take note. If anything, the auction may act as a (financial) incentive for "eastern entrepreneurs" to aggressively seek out green '74 fittings & accessories aimed at the western market...
 
This is the ultimate unicorn bucket list item as far as furniture is concerned...

I have an unhealthy fetish for bakelite and OD green furniture so to me it would absolutely worth it to cough up the cash. If I had more money and fewer expenses I would've bid on it. Hell, I would open a new credit card. I wish the clayco furniture would have been more green like this stuff - since that is "common" compared to the border guard set.

Maybe someone can get a small replica batch made for those of us who want the look, but not the price - like Atlantic Firearms did with their repro bakelite furniture.

There is a guy who has come up with a pretty good replica and he's further perfected it (photo below of his latest).
