OK, so go back 13 years to 2008 (instead of 13 seconds) and tell us what single C&R purchase that were available back or even after that on the surplus market that are not available now. You know, that cheap gun from AIM, Coles, SOG or Samco etc. for example that dried up and the prices went through the roof.
What is your Omega 13 C&R Purchase?

Back to 1989 or so B&B Guns in N. Hollywood CA. A Dragunov with scope, suitcase to hold it (I think broken down to a degree) and bring back papers from Vietnam. $1300.00 OTD. That was big money then; for me anyhow, so I passed.
Always wondered where that one got off to.
Off the top of my head, I remember Albanian SKSs being cheap.

Picking through crates of Mosin 91/30 for $60 a piece. Was like a treasure hunt.

Case of the Nagant revolvers when they were cheap.

Wish I'd picked up a Walther P-38 or even a P-1 for $300

Forget who had it but a wheel mounted gatlin gun in the mosin 54r caliber. Kept looking at it and then they disappeared.

I was just starting high school, but convinced my dad to get a $99 mosin at a gun show probably in 2009. I had a job and the first thing I bought when I turned 18 was an M1 carbine at one of the Frederick shows. The things I wish I knew back then…

Around that time I bought 6 Chicom Type 53 rifles from SOG for $60.00 each and gave them to my sons and grandsons for Christmas.

2008? The day the polling average in NC flipped to Obama+1, I went to my LGS and bought the Yugo SKS. I figured the way things were headed, there was going to be a rush on scary-looking guns. I don't see too many now, for love or money.

Was still in high school...
And at least 100 cases of GP11, to supplement the 500 cases of HXP M2 Ball I should have gotten from the CMP.

Thought I had a nice deep stockpile of HXP from CMP, but over a couple of years it dwindled to nothing

Looking at my BB for 2008, I apparently did well at the Maryland Arms Collector Show

What year was this?
I did pick up 2 of the $199 Royal Tiger SKS and only 1 had a crack stock which I repaired.
Just before RT sold those, a Chinese SKS in cosmo was going for $400 each.
I think that was around 2014 though.
