Amoskeag auction

[gmborkovic]

A past members S&W collection was sold today. I hope some members got some of the guns. They were all primo examples.
I was in on some nice 9mm autos. My bids were not near the hammer price. Try again later.

I would have liked to bring them all home but I only got one. The 26% auction fee is a bit painful.

My 6" Regulation Police Target is looking forward to meeting his little brother.

I bid on a few but didn't get any. I wonder if anyone on the forum got the pre 39 s/n 1009 or the engraved Model 39.

He had a S&W collection like no other . It's a pain to see it broken up .

I think I bought a 4digit Mod-39/box for $750. I punched the bid button,
saw high bid. Then I blinked and there was a new gun on the screen.
I guess they send an e-mail if you win.

I was able to obtain 7 of the ones on my list. Very excited to get them home and see in real life. Wish they offered a few more pictures besides the one or two….

Chris, agree on pics. Where do you go to see your bid summary.

Mike,
I clicked on my profile and followed links from there. It was my first time bidding with them. Rock island is a little easier for me, but im not the best with computers. I'm still trying to find what items were actually sold for because several other lot I didn't win.

I watched every one. Some went for more than I expected. Others went for less, and I probably should have been in the bidding for them. I assumed there wre much deeper pockets wanting them. Many of them, I've never heard of (the many protos), and several, I've heard of, but never seen sell in about 30 years of being involved in this sport. A C frame Model 73? I thought it sold cheap for being a unicorn.

a question for you Amoskeag auction regulars

I have not ever used Amoskeag for any buying or selling but I do watch to see (hopefully) current market prices on the older S&W that I own.

Of course, Gunbroker is another source using the completed auction links.

One thing I just noticed with this newest Amoskeag auction was that over the six pages of 50 lots each page, I saw numerous Smith & Wesson handguns ranging from very antique, to modern (post 2000) guns that were marked "Sold - buyers premium included) and the sold price on every single one was exactly $1,210.00.

It just seems strange to me that every gun, being very, very different than the next, would ALL sell at exactly the same price.

Is this their way of saying it did not actually sell and they contact the consignor for a relist at another time?

Again....I saw some really great, drool-worth guns and I'm not disparaging anything with Amoskeag as I'm just not in that league so just wondering is all, if anyone really knows. There were quite a few that I would have bid $900 and then paid the 26% buyers premium if I had any real idea that they would actually knock down at $1,210 total.
