It looks like there's nice pickings.
Thought I'd give THR a heads up

I don't think there is anything tremendously valuable there, but there are surely some decent guns there that would be worth a bid if you don't get auction fever and pay too much.
That auction house sure needs somebody to write descriptions and take pictures, though.

That's the beauty (and shortcoming) of estate sales. If you know what you are looking at and don't get carried away, you can make out like a bandit. Unfortunately, the sellers usually get the short end of the stick.
I came away from a couple of recent estate auctions with thousands of dollars worth of antiques for a couple hundred dollars. I did miss out on a pre-64 Mdl 94 Winchester (got outbid by an elderly doctor) at one sale and let a nice, older .38 spl Colt Police Positive get away at the next. The other guy basically stole the Colt at $250, but he wasn't going to give up so I did.
If I were liquidating a particularly valuable estate, I would at least get the better stuff properly catalogued and liquidated at a better auction house. My mother made a pretty good business as an antique dealer buying at on-site estate auctions...the stuff goes for nothing.

A couple Parkers in there. Hard to see the condition in the photos.
