Rock Island Auction
 

Did any body bid on the offerings by RIA yesterday? I was successful on Lot 608 was not a Parker but thought I might need one with the current state of affairs, Gary

I'm watching at the moment I wanna see the A-1 Special and the DH 8 gauge sell !

Let us know what they sell for

If the 8 gauge makes the low estimate, all of my eights are for sale. I forgot all about yesterday. Thankfully there were only a couple of items I was interested in.

Eric, might that one have been part of your DH collection once upon a time??




.

Unless I'm mistaken it's the one Barnett's been hawking the last two years .

Yeah but....





.

Yes Dean that was part of my collection the whole collection was sold to one person a number of years ago.

The A-1 dropped at 47.500 I doubt it met reserve !

A-1 stopped at $47,500 plus the premium if it met the reserve .

The DH 8 stopped at $37,500 also plus premium if it met reserve .

I was after two of the SC's but they went higher than I was willing to pay when buyers premium is added .

Does anyome know what the serial number is on the 8 ga? I can't fond it on thier site

159801

Yep that was mine, anyone know the selling price?

If it met reserve the hammer dropped at $37,500 plus premium .

I would think both made reserve. No active collector should take the beating of the commission and watch his gun sell for xxx plus 18 or 20%. You would think the buyer and seller could get together without a middle man. I don't know what the commission rate is, but I know what the BP is and there is an enormous spread. In my opinion, the "spread" is a heartbreaker for the seller.

The 8 ga DH did not sell nor did the A1.
