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...

Jay... 3492 was high on my list at that auction. I thought it was a good example of a lifter with a retrofitted W.F.Parker patent bolt and bite modification (TPS pg96). I also thought it was worth more than high estimate, so I threw in an overbid. The absentee bidder was more aggressive, so I ducked! Wish I knew then what I know now! I did however bring home a pretty descent VH12 on a 1-1/2 frame.

I have attended nearly every Amoskeag auction held this century, and found them very honest and professional in my dealings, buying and selling.
