Edgar,
That exact same situation happened to me during this auction. I was high bidder when the auction started and the item sold for my high bid amount to someone else. Being there in-person does have it's benefits.

The last gun I bought by auction was via an absentee bid. I specified my maximum bid plus one. Which means they (the auction company) automatically adds the next bidding increment in the event someone ties your max bid. I won that gun with the plus one increment.

It depends on the auction house. Some, the first bidder to a certain figure will take it, no matter where located. Others, a floor bidder supersedes any previous bid. You have to ask these questions BEFORE the auction begins.

The auctioneer did say that if I really want something, just put "Bid To Win". He obviously had me mistaken for someone else.[/QUOTE]

:rotf:For some reason, I thought that was you Edgar "Bid to Win":rotf:

In fact I didn't win it, because the auctioneer started the item well below my bid, but because of the bid increment, a floor bidder tied my bid, but because I was not present to enter a tie breaking bid, and the floor bidder was, the gun was awarded to the floor bidder. What I never understood, was why they started well below my bid, and not opened the bidding at what was, at the time, the highest bid.
If there are say six proxy bids of which let’s say five are $1000 or below and yours is say $1500 and the increment above a thousand is 250 they should start at $1250 and go from there . They shouldn’t start it more than one increment above the next closest proxy bid to yours .

Well in this day and age of internet savvy and everyone knowing everything about everything I didn't realize there was an auction:shock: Probably just as well as the CHE 16 skeet gun mentioned would have tickled my fancy. I'm happy with the two matched pairs from the Southern so I don't feel i missed anything.

Just so you know I handled that CHE vent rib skeet when I went to look . Little gun felt quite nice in the hands :cool:

I had a VHE 20ga vent rib skeet gun for awhile. It was a nice gun. Do you know what the CHE went for?

Rich, it's only money and you have plenty. Now you will have even more for the February sale.
