You guys are going to love this. I had my decimal points in the wrong position. The guys in Detroit would have made $49,880.00 (assuming a 25% commission rate) on the gun that Mr. Redding sold for a commission of $12760.00. Be sure you know what you're doing when you sell your guns. Many more people knew about the Redding auction for one fine Parker than knew about the best Parkers that have been sold in years in Detroit.

I was using the AHE .410 sold at Reddings a few years ago as an illustration. Redding sold the AHE gun for 11%, no buyer's premium, total commission $12,760.00. At the Detroit auction, assuming a 25% commission and 18% buyer's premium, total commission $49,880.00. The difference in the two commissions would be $37,120.00 and Redding seemed to draw a pretty good crowd, at least enough to get $116,000.00 for the shotgun. I added a few words to my post to correct what I incorrectly stated. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I did a phone bidding while I was in the North Michigan deer woods, there was one gun I really wanted, and a couple of others, but the prices went sky high very quickly. All I ended up with was a Trojan 16 ga
