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

Let’s remember there are sellers here, and this is a sort of free advertising, or at least a reminder.

All is fair in love and auctions.

It's almost over. I hope our members scored big on this great auction. I also hope we get to share in the success of our members.

No scores for me, sold 6 for fair prices. Gun fund is flush
LOL. Best buy in my wheelhouse was the CHE with a Miller for $2500. Plus. Nice buy someone in my opinion.

I got close on some artwork, but alas...

[WHO]

0 for 1 for me

0 for 1. I bid 4k on the nice Ithaca .410.

I only bid on one gun, and at the last minute, though unsuccessful. I am pleased at the sale of the three I had in the auction, though parting with one was bittersweet.

Zero for two for me. I misread the message about one, thinking my bid was accepted. Someone slipped in after I hit the submit button. My mistake. What a great, well run auction. Thanks, Josh.
