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.
