Went to a gun auction yesterday. Wondering what is happening in your area. This auction was in Emporia, KS. The sale had 160 firearms, a mix of shotguns, rifles, and handguns....some ammo too. I knew I was not likely to find a bargain when they opened the gun portion of the auction with a Bushmaster 5.56. It came with a few loaded 30rnd mags and sold for $1500....ouch.
There were a bunch of fine collectibles...NIB Colt and S&W pistols. The Colt Python .357 sold for $3300. a pair of the older Browning semiauto .22s (can't call the model) but they are that petite model that is popular among collectors...They sold for $2050 and $2000, respectively. The S&W revolvers sold for retail or higher. Nary a bargain in the lot.
I hoped to buy a NIB Remington 700 VLS .204. The guy who wanted it much more than I did started the bidding at $1,000. I didn't bother to bid and neither did anyone else. Oh well.....
Just wondering what is going on in your neck of the woods?
