Count down to the G&D auction.

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
