Anyone else attend a gun auction lately? I think I go more for the entertainment value anymore. Frienzied bidding to buy used guns , some VERY used , for well over retail?
Recently at a nearby auction , a Raven .25 went for $175 , a Jennings .22 went for $195 , a S&W 22S went over $300 , a few H&R top-break .22 9-shooters went for well over $200.
Ammo is out of hand too. (2) 800 cases of Indian .308 ball ammo for $500 each!?
Then ya gotta add 10% buyer's fee (13% credit card) and 6% sales tax.
I joked with a gunshop owner that he should just hold an auction at the end of the month and all the old guns that have been sitting gathering dust would sell for a lot more than they were tagged for.
I told one of the auction personal that they should sell beer in their little cafe. If these people bid that much sober , imagine what they'd pay after a few beers!
