Count down to the G&D auction.

Some interesting Parkers/Lefevers/Foxes/Smiths for all budgets in my opinion! Decisions, decisions! LOL. I have my eye on one Parker, fingers crossed.

I plan on viewing the items tommorrow and shoot a round at Pintail Point .

And I'm going with Craig to stop him from doing something he will regret in the morning.

Why would you draw attention to this, perhaps inspire someone to bid, perhaps even against you, causing you to bid higher on a particular firearm or even be completely outbid, where this might not have occurred had this other bidder remained completely unaware of the auction?

Let’s remember there are sellers here, and this is a sort of free advertising, or at least a reminder.

All is fair in love and auctions.

In the 21st Century, with the internet, electronic mail, internet TVs, laptops, handhelds and even printed media someone with any interest in classic shotguns would have to be living under a rock not to know about this or any other auction.

I just don’t see what the advantage is. Maybe a competing bidder forgets about the auction, leading to a lower hammer price. I’ve forgotten about upcoming auctions before, and I’m sure others have, as well.

Let’s be honest here , do you really think anybody that’s regularly on this forum didn’t receive a catalog of the auction ? I understand what you’re saying and followed the practice in years past , but in this day and age everyone knows about most any large auction . Sure every now and then you might sneak up on something in an auction that only has a couple guns . I was fortunate and lucked up on one that was on Invaluable that the know it all auctioneer listed incorrectly and it darn sure isn’t my place to have corrected him
