I had that gun on my radar even though I’m not supposed to be buying anything . But after looking into their buyers premium and the clusterfuck to have it shipped I decided it wasn’t worth the effort and frustration . If I read correctly they’ve gone to third party shipping .

Thanks, Craig. More of the same. These houses are making money so fast that they don't have time to do their own shipping or take care of their bidders. I can't imagine how they treat their consignors. Of course, many of them are not living and were not the ones who created the collections, so not many complaints.

I don't know if they have changed recently but I purchased 3 guns from them last year and the shipping was pretty simple. After the auction, you let them know if you want to pick-up or ship. You call the shipping department, they give you the price and pay, and they ship. I would rather pick up everything as they are a little over an hour from me, but if out of state the shipping is cheaper than the sales tax, which they only charge in Ohio. I will say they pack the best of any auction house I have ever used. The buyer fees are not out of line with other houses I have seen. They are lower if you bid direct.
