At that price I will just continue to make my own. I wish the seller good luck at that price.

Tulipmania...Tulip mania was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels, and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637. It is generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble in history.
Dont laugh, ITS the craziness of 2020 Ive seen guys buying basic Glocks for $900+

I believe you already know the answer to your question. Maybe you want to review your post at Lyman 36 parts
Did you get your rifle and did you take more pictures as you said?

That's how I feel about 'Bitcoin' and other 'crypto currencies'.
When I mention the tulip boom and bust of the 1630s, most people have no idea of that to which I refer. Vast fortunes were made and lost and Holland was plunged into an economic depression.
There have been, of course, other boom and bust scenarios involving indigo (for dyes), railroad stocks, the 'panic' of 1873, stock market crash of 1929... .

LRF:
Kudos! That is a wonderfully engineered and crafted bit of kit!
I'm guessing there's a whole lot of time involved and that it would not be viable to produce them for sale?
I'll take the liberty of reproducing images here from your posts regarding the 'LRF Model 36':

BTW. my 2 sights are not exact copies of the Lyman 36 as I have actually never seen one or held one. I have reviewed a lot of pictures but never touched one, so mine are not interchangeable and in fact I made a couple improvements in the way the Lyman one's work

I shall go back and digest that earlier thread, to understand how the aperture arm gets out of the way when the MS bolt is cycled.
Interesting concept! ...and nicely executed, LRF.

Thanks
The arm holding the aperture, is self centering and just swings out of the way in both direction as the bolt is cycled.

Considering the amount of work seen in the shop made sight by LRF, that Ebay item is a bargain.

Re: Expensive used Lyman 36

Reminds me a great deal of working on old British bikes from the 30s to the late 60s.
Why use one moving part when six will do the same job?
Also, don't get me lit off over Whitworth spanners as used on gudgeon pins.

Re: Expensive used Lyman 36

I have what I think is a Lyman site on my Mdl. 1903.
It has fine aperture that swings out of the way of the larger (I would call it a Ghost Ring Aperture).
Would this be a model other than a 36?
I lost my ability to post photos but I can email if there is any interest.

What you most likely have is a Lyman 36, They had as you call it a "ghost aperture

Thank you.
Probably did not make myself clear.
The fine aperture swings out of the way of the ghost ring.
My guess is the fine aperture is for more distant shots?
The ghost ring is quicker to get on target so, for stalking and shorter range?

Thank you, my suspicion confirmed. In the other views I could not the little tab on the fine aperture.

Re: Expensive used Lyman 36

Agree 100%. Even once all the the special work holding fixtures are made there are at least 20 hours of work if you are copying the Lyman model fairly closely. At a minimum of $110 an hour, $775 USD seems pretty good value. I would have bought one years ago but there seems to be plenty of sights for sale in the US but none here in Australia. Unfortunately no one will ship from the US to Australia, I have tried a number of times.
Matt.

Interesting.
I suppose that shows the value of Ebay's 'make offer' feature.
