I have purchased SXSs and old Winchesters from all three of the major houses, and have not had a bad experience. Perhaps I have just been lucky. I usually bid by phone, so I know in real time if I won the item.
As for selling, I have only one auction house experience and used James Julia, as it was a high value gun. JJ did an excellent job with descriptions and photographs.
One important question to ask is how much the house charges the seller. JJ waves the seller's cost if the item goes for at least $20,000. I am not sure if they will do the same if you have more than one gun at an auction that totals over 20K.
One thing, however, is for sure-it is usually a lot easier to buy a gun than is to sell one...
