I thought the prices were impressive. I bid on several and won only one that I intended to buy. I purchased the 1943 Beretta S3 that looked to be in good shape. I already have a 1932 S2 and I wanted it's stablemate. Those early S guns are a work of art and are lighter and livelier than the later guns. Combined with the dual triggers, they are some of the most focused hunting guns I have ever owned.
I will say that, as in past auctions, I lost a couple of low end guns I wanted due to the response of the platform and the speed of closing the auction. In several instances, I have lost the item because I prebid the opening price, waited for it to be acknowledged, a floor bid was taken before I showed up as bidder, I bid the next offer, hit submit and the auction closed before my submission was confirmed. My bid shows in the bidder list but no chance to rebid. This only happens for quick sales on guns with low interest, but it happens frequently.
