Please, please, please tell me one of you guys was the lucky SOB that won this steal of a deal on an amazing firearm relic...
I'm not really up to date on the value of Colt 1903 pistols in "bottom-of-the-ocean-for-100-years" condition, but did someone actually buy the story, not the gun? Or does that pistol just need a month in a sonic cleaner to return it to its former glory? Either way, $625 bid + 15% premium + $10 fee seems steep.
Technically, the auction house was trying to scam its bidders, since the pistol is actually labeled "John Dillener's pistol".
