Major Collector's Firearms Auction

[M Vollinger]

I spoke to a well known dealer before the auction. He felt this auction and prices would be a good market indicator given the quality and quantity of firearms.

Early bidding on many lots was hammered at below low estimate, not including a 10% buyers premium and 9.75% sales tax for in state buyers. Exceptions were odd such as a couple Winchester "collectibles", a flashlight display for $1,900 and a lawnmower were desirable.

A re-stocked 12 gauge DHE hammered for $3K and $3K for a 12 gauge Trojan in high original condition. A original condition 12 gauge PH went north of $3200but I can't confirm final. My calculations stopped when it appeared it would pass $3.8K for an OK, but underwhelming PH. A upcoming .410 DHE in high condition will be an interesting market indicator.
