Gunbroker.com is a great place, but can have auctions that end up going for more than what you are bidding on is worth!
I agree, but sometimes the small stuff can go for more than it should, than add in the shipping cost gives you the wow factor!I could see it, IF you're bidding on a really rare piece, but IMPE, this seems to rarely
happen. If it's that rare, you only have to buy it once...
As a kid, my brothers and I would go with dad to the stockyard auctions. Most of those auctioneers were pretty good of doing that gibberish and making sense of it. I found it quite entertaining. Of course, cattle move around a lot more than inanimate objects.I am not a fan of in person auctions, period. The auctioneer is blabbering away, I can't understand a thing he or she is saying, and somehow with no hands or paddles being raised, the price keeps going up. Not to mention shills, ridiculous fees, etc.
Ebay is about as close to auctions as I want to get.
View attachment 829535 This is an example of what I see locally. It’s insane. Literally, insane. Online auctions, farm auctions, etc.
People really ARE that dumb.
If you do it right, there are some really good deals out there.
This is my latest example of the kind of deals you can find. Kahr K9, winning bid $230.
That’s a heck of a buy on a solid pistol.
Thanks, just so's nobody think's i'm just throwing numbers out there
