Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it!

I see there is a ProxiBid auction running concurrent with the live auction. Expect prices to be top dollar and then some. Bubba has seemed to get his mittens on the mil-surps sometime ago.

Good luck...everytime my son has gone the "farmers" will pay twice as much as what its worth....he's seen Marlin .22 you can get at wally world for 89.00 go for close to 150.00....."farmers".....LOL....seems they got money to blow or just ain't got a lick of sense....no offense to "farmers" but just what I'm told most look like when bidding.

People get crazy at auctions. I think it goes from trying to get a good deal to wanting to win the bid!

Didn't get any guns. I bid on the 91/30 they had but ended up letting it go for $80 to someone else as I'm mostly broke. They had it labeled as "Russia CIA 7.62 X 3.9 Rifle".

Ended up winning two 30 caliber empty 5.56 ammo cans, and an empty 50cal steel ammo can. Plan to use one of the 30's for .22 ammo, and the other two for AK ammo.

Looks like most everything went cheap. Good grief vans that didn't even sell?

Yup we have an excellent economy.

I'm actually surprise that the Colt & Smiths brought only $300ish prices. Looks like the Winchester collectors were in the house. I did see some other decent deals too. All in all looks like the auction fever was under control. Bad news for the auctioneers but good for the bidders.

Those auctions have been really hit & miss. I've gotten some really good deals and then watched some stuff go for double or triple retail, new...for a very used gun. From what I've seen, it isn't just the "farmers". It is also the old guys, the Amish, and people that smell too bad for the 1500. I didn't go to this one as the last few have been pretty bad as far as overbidding.

I think uneducated bidders as far as gun models and prices go is the cause, but that's what happens in an auction. I plan to go to the Fort Wayne gun show this weekend and hopefully find more along the lines of what I'm looking for.

Estate auctions at present are really down as far as prices go. Folks just aren't bidding things up as high as in the past. Lack of disposable income?

Retail sales in general are down as has been noted in the news.

A Crossman 760 BB/Pellet gun!! My first gun ever. I would have bought it for twice that...
