Some of these charities line up bidders ahead of time to bid on these big items. It is probably some board member who has never owned a double gun in his life but agreed to do this "for the cause". Who the other bidder is is any body's guess

True, and even better is that a quality Parker won't be wasted on someone who never has any intention of properly appreciating the gun. This is much better than if a 20ga hammer gun were being auctioned.

I don't know all the IRS rules for tax rightoffs but can't both the doner and buyer claim a deduction for charity?
