Amoskeag Auction Co

[Jay Oliver]

Hello David,

I have looked at their Parkers as a buyer a few times and just found out today that I won one from their recent auction 2 weeks ago(my first bid with them). They had a few nice Parkers for sale and the hammer prices are now posted which may help you. While I didn’t buy anything all that special, if the gun is close to as it was described I will be happy. I think I paid a fair price(for both buyer and seller) though I bid sight unseen and hope the pictures and description were accurate.

I’ll pick up the gun next Friday and follow up.

Good luck with your decision,
Jay

Same thing happened to me with Amoskeag. It was a while back, but I submitted a written bid the eveniong before the auction. The fine print stated that the bids must be in by 8pm, and I had sent it in around 10:30. The next day, I saw that it went for less than my bid, and I waited several days, and had no word from them, so presumed they did not accept my late bid.
I was weighing that piece with another on GB, so went ahead and bought the GB gun. 17 days later I got an invoice from Amoskeag. It didn't brake the bank but I didn't need to buy two identical guns.
To add insult to this, they have never sent me a catalog. Every other firm where I did bid successfully has sent me a catalog. Little details like that turn me off from future business. If they have something I can't live without, not likely at this stage in my life, I'll either ride up there or phone bid.
