I feel your pain Rick.

In my opinion their estimated value was waaay low but I'm sure you didn't use that figure in determining your bid amount.

Tough loss.

no - I also bid on one Friday - I was around so it was phone bid - when i told the young lady who was handling it i would bid up to 6K she says - you know the estimate is only 1400

i told her I knew that - it went for 8k

my top sealed bid on this Parker would have been bumped twice to the 3K selling price

If you want it you've got to go in heavy.

There were some low estimates on other guns in that auction. Did anyone else see that project Super Fox? Top estimate $1,200 and hammer was $8,000. It included two other throwaway guns, but still
