Did anyone else go to this? There was no rhyme or reason to the way bidding went on any of it. They had a Browning Sweet 16 in beautiful shape go for $500, a S&W model 19-3 .357 with a holster in 90% go for $290 and a browning model BAR .270 with a bushnell scope and leather sling go for $590. Then on the flip side they had a SW9VE (not new) go for $400 and a S&W mod 51 kit gun go for $1000. There were way to many more to list, but some of it made me sick to watch. I just wish I would have had enough money to buy some of them.

I pre-viewed the auction Friday, that sweet 16 had been re-blued over light pitting, the trigger had been stripped of the gold plating indicating more questionable work, I did not go back for the sale but reviewed the results, there were some deals but not many when u add the Christys 10% BUYERS PENALTY + 7% sales tax?

I have bought several guns there and done well on them.

Ditto

I've been to this auction several times and purchased plenty of guns (only to lose them in a terrible boating accident) and have done well. Most guns, though, go for way too much.
