I was really tempted by the 10 gauge Smith 5E. What a beautiful gun. I had not thought of bidding until I saw it in person. I’d not done any research on the gun, so did not bid, but it was a real stunner. I drove up today to get my one prize and will post photos when I blood it — hopefully soon. BTW, I paid no hidden fees, just the 15% and sales tax, which I had calculated before I set my bid cap.
