Let’s be honest here , do you really think anybody that’s regularly on this forum didn’t receive a catalog of the auction ? I understand what you’re saying and followed the practice in years past , but in this day and age everyone knows about most any large auction . Sure every now and then you might sneak up on something in an auction that only has a couple guns . I was fortunate and lucked up on one that was on Invaluable that the know it all auctioneer listed incorrectly and it darn sure isn’t my place to have corrected him :whistle:

Let’s remember there are sellers here, and this is a sort of free advertising, or at least a reminder.

All is fair in love and auctions. :)

It's almost over. I hope our members scored big on this great auction. I also hope we get to share in the success of our members.

No scores for me, sold 6 for fair prices. Gun fund is flush
LOL. Best buy in my wheelhouse was the CHE with a Miller for $2500. Plus. Nice buy someone in my opinion.

0 for 1 for me:banghead:

0 for 1. I bid 4k on the nice Ithaca .410.

I only bid on one gun, and at the last minute, though unsuccessful. I am pleased at the sale of the three I had in the auction, though parting with one was bittersweet.

Bill Murphy 09-14-2024 07:22 PM

Zero for two for me. I misread the message about one, thinking my bid was accepted. Someone slipped in after I hit the submit button. My mistake. What a great, well run auction. Thanks, Josh.
