Since you're in tight with them, explain how an auctioneer could keep anyone from knowing the hammer? Does he zap everyone on the floor with a Certified MIB memory zapper, and telepathically make everyone watching all the online bidding services go dumb?

Edgar, I'm not in tight with them and I was referring to whether or not they choose to PUBLISH the hammer results. But maybe you're right - they may zap them on the floor! omg

$250K is a lot to pay for any gun with unfashionably short barrels.

Although Mr. Murphy at times struggles with expressing himself, he does bring up a good point - one that I ponder at length. It is the business model of American business, and for all I know all businesses everywhere:

Business Model:

1) Be in business
2) Create Website to keep up with the times
3) Add a 'Contact Us' icon, with room for potential customers to contact you via email
4) Ignore all emails sent to the 'Contact Us' mailbox

Good wry humor Fishtail! Way to go! What would the world be without us cynics?

Greg, Mr. Murphy does not struggle with expressing himself, he just expresses himself a bit more often than prudent. Thanks for the diagnosis.

Greg, you better watch what you say about Galazan company. Recently, a member sought references about the Galazan company and I shared my experience (similar to yours apparently) which was deemed unfavorable by one of the moderators. He deleted my post and sent me a PM to the effect that I should not state anything about the company that isn't favorable except he did give me permission to do it by PM. When I replied to the moderator's PM why PGCA felt it needed to delete an honest response to an honest inquiry, I was not favored with a reply.

There is a certain love affair with some here when it comes to the Galazan company. I understand Mr Galazan is a strong PGCA supporter. So the company gets a pass. (nothing here should be construed as a comment on any individual-we're talking about a company, right?). I'm sure you didn't intend by your comments to be negative, but be careful with any comments that could in any way to construed as negative or you will probably get a note from someone.

Ray, That sounds very much like censorship, and a violation of rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. That stuff happens in China, but, surely not here in America.
FWIW, I have no issues with that company, but find an individual associated with it to be without scruples, morals or conscience.

Edgar, I was going to start a thread about it when it happened but I thought discretion was the better part of valor. It doesn't just sound like censorship-it is censorship!

My comment then was merely that my experience with the company was that customer service was poor and others shared that view. It was not a comment about any particular person. Similar comments had been made in prior posts but I was admonished for mine. I thought I was owed an explanation as to why honest comment was disfavored but wasn't entitled to the explanation apparently. Not sure why. After all, I'm a card carrying member of the PGCA!

I'm not sure why Mr Galazan needs to be defended. I don't know him but I'm sure he is a gentleman, who, as other have observed, can defend himself if need be. If "unpleasant" remarks have been made about his company, maybe he should look into it rather than merely ignoring them after others have apologized for their misguided brethren. IMHO and I have no bone to pick with anyone about it.
