I saw lot 1118, the Parker 16 ga skeet gun hammer in at $6,250 and the estimate was $7,500 - $10,000 and yet it later shows as a no sale? The same goes for lot 1111, the 20 ga BHE which had an estimate of $20,000 - $30,000 and hammered in at $16,000 but was also a no sale? Granted, they didn't get up to the minimum estimate but they were well above half that number. I don't know how Julia figures all this but I know that if I thought I bought the skeet gun for $6,250 and then when I went to pick it up I was told I couldn't get it, I would be some upset.
Now that I am putting my thoughts down here, I am wondering if they have a bidder in the room pushing it up to the minimum and when they win, its a no sale? I never annualized this before but something just seems odd with how this turned out.
