I’ve learned the hard way there is always someone smarter and richer and with different priorities than me and that’s ok. You just have to be content and realistic. There are probably a lot of people who are envious you would even bid $25,000 on a gun and to them it’s like you’re the wealthy one. It’s all relative. Like I said in the other thread that this is good for the brand overall. Keeps the legend of old reliable kind of going, you know?

I totally get that. Probably less than 1% of the population would ever spend over $25k for a shotgun. And it’s still a lot of money. That’s why it’s depressing to find that kind of money still was only less than a quarter of what it brought.

I think next auction I’ll set my sights on a really nice 12 or 16 gauge so at least I come home with something.
