Anyone going to the Rock Island Auction?

[Craig Larter]

I place a bid for Parker Grade 1 12ga Laminate barrels with good dimensions of $1500. so $1725. with vig plus NY sales tax of 8%, out the door at $1863. Plus shipping. My bid didn't apparently meet the minimum. The estimate was 3K-$4.5 which I thought was high. What say you? I think it's a $1800 gun not 3-4K gun. What do you think the value is???

Craig I'm with you on that one. I think you are spot on. I have not looked at that gun but my opinion would be that the estimate is ridiculously high unless there are some attributes I am not aware of. I hope to find some time to go over some of those auctions tomorrow to see what they brought. Some of the numbers that I have been hearing have really surprised me, much higher than I would have expected. I am speaking of Parker's only. I am still in shock at the price the 16 gauge lifter brought.

Could one of you all with access to the prices realized tell me what Lot # 385 the Winchester Model 40 went for. I thought their estimate of $1600 to $2500 was beyond belief or had extra zeros.

Dave,
Unless I’m doing something incorrectly, it does not show the price realized, so i assume it did not sell.
