AHE 20 Gauge
I'd been watching a little AHE 20 that had been for sale with a dealer for quite some time (I'm sure many of you have seen the gun). The dealer reduced the price to $38,500 as I recall. The gun then appeared on one of the major gun auction sites. I looked at the gun in person at the Southern, and the auction house's description was seemed accurate and forthcoming about the condition of the gun.
The gun hammered at $39,500. When you add the buyer's premium, etc., someone paid quite a bit more than they needed to acquire this gun.
It raises questions about the best ways to sell a gun, at least in this instance.
