Just outside Liberty, IN.
Rembu and Abernathy gun store auction.

Looks like a good auction. I would expect firearms to go at fair to fool retail prices. And expect ammo to go really high. The accessories will go fairly cheap.

I see they have a Glock 19 99mm. That must be a beast of a handgun!

99mm is approximately 3.9 inches, or 3.897 caliber +/- if you prefer.

I used to frequent these 2 gunshops in Connersville frequently with my father. Shame to see them go.

That's sad. I hate to see LGSs close up.

Someone going needs to pickup that Polytech for me!

I know, its pretty bad when you find out about an auction in your home town on INGO.

Dunno how Don's guns is still flourishing.

Nowadays, I think, to compete with current market, LGS should have online sales too, also with competitive pricing like price matching. Once that word goes out about perks like that, it should help. Just thinking business wise.

I bought some stuff off Steve at Rembu many moons ago.
Super nice guy.
Hopefully everything is cool and he's just gonna retire?

The markup at Don's is so high they only need to sell one gun a month to cover operating costs.

And when I drive by there, they have enough cars in the lot. Guess if people are willing to pay 2x the amount for something, a smart business person gladly takes their money.

Last time I was in a Don's guns they had a sign up to the effect of "Don't complain that other stores have lower prices, they can afford to charge less when they don't have it in stock!"

Wat?

Agree. I was born and raised in Connersville and still have family there. Sorry to see these guys close up shop.
