I was hoping to win this and placed a decent, but not extraordinary, bid on it. I wasn’t even close!
It hammered at $55,000, nosebleed territory for me. When you add in the 17.5% buyer’s premium, sales tax for me at 6%, a 1% insurance fee and they now have a 1% performance fee if it hammers over the high end estimate, you are at $67,895 before shipping, insurance for shipping, and FFL fees are added in. A reasonably priced .410 VH is a stretch for me, and now it seems few, if any, are even reasonable. I’m not sure why this one brought so much other than it was offered at RIA.
