The only item I can bring up from that auction is the revolver. How did you find a more extensive list?

The catalog is on the right side of the screen.

OK call me blind but I don't see a catalog on the right side of the screen, infact there isn't anything to click on other than "share"

 

[buzzard pickins]

Click on documents.

Sorry for the hassle. Christy's normally has a much more user-friendly auction listings. Not sure why this one is so minimal. Here is a direct link to the catalog.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Funny, when I clicked on "Documents" earlier, I got that shared stuff. Must have clicked too low.

Walked out with 5 guns all in all - some *decent* deals.

Don of Don's Guns was there in all his....ahem...."glory".

Isn't it just grand to breath the same rareifyed air as royality. I'M glad someone brought in 100 guns on wensday. Did you notice the bid stream on items #124-125-126, same guns and the price keep going up.Must have been 4 buyers for three guns.
I belive a good time was had by all. I know my decent purchase was only $35 more than I wanted to spend.

Looks like a great buyers auction but a mediocre sellers auction. Several things went way too cheap.

I wonder, 10% buyers preimum,7% sales tax. Do you think this keeps prices down,and people away.I agree the scuttlebutt around the sale was there were really good buys. Online buyers pay 17.5% plus shipping and transfere on there end. Comission rate was quoted at 20% for sellers. I think the combination of the two have an effect.

Compared to the prices commanded at Sohn's; sales tax and a small transfer fee,for buyers. Small charge for creditcards

OR is to close to christmas.

I have been to many of christys auctions, i have seen guys in a bid frenzy on junk guns and at 17% plus price of item sold; really gets into a fellas pocketbook. i seen don from dons guns storm outta there during a auction... he couldnt compete with the collectors, i dunno why he even came to be honest. i geuss he thought he might be able to make some money HA! HA!HA!

I walked out with nothing more than I wanted to spend

Trick is - print out the list ahead of time and calculate the 10% premium plus 7% tax (they DO tax the premium) so you only bid utlimately what you want to pay minus those premiums, and you never pay too much!

It's not terribly difficult to understand. People get a bit carried away in the auction circuit (I'm guilty of it too - that's how I learned!).

 

[buzzard pickins]

I've always understood the concept,it's the BUYER PREMIUM concept that buggs me.
WHY should I subsudize the cryers lack of selling ability by paying a fee for the priviledge to bid on an item. Besides, carping about what you bought is in the DNA of all auction buyers.

 

[38special]

If you don't like the fee, don't buy anything. Otherwise, bid accordingly. It's really pretty simple. There's theoretically no fee if you bid only basing it on what you want to pay WITH the fee. Only if you aren't paying attention do you get hurt.
