All the buyer premium represents, IMO, is a different business model to generate income. I have no problem with that, I simply choose not to participate. But then again, I refuse to pay a car dealer a doc fee when I buy a car.

Hey Rod--I'm getting mixed info from the auction site. Some places say ALL firearms go through you,others say out of state buyers. Can you clarify? RJ

Only out of state transactions go through me.

Let me know where the conflicting information is and I will try to get it corrected.

OH crap, Bills mostly paid up, OT check plus a profit bonus coming Friday, may have bike sold,  kids staying at mom's to see new baby cousin.  This is all too much, I may break down and have to go.

Was planning on going, but cash was drained by an attack of the Milsurp Virus at Cabela"s ........ I spent my Deer Season Gas Money and am now scratchin'  to get that back...... it was not the cost of the guns, but the accessories ........ dies, brass, bullets, etc ....... that blew the budget all to hell .......

I went.

came out with a Remington Model 31 12 gauge ($125) and a small .22 auto pistol (cant remember the brand/model, $250), not including buyers premium or taxes.  Rod Moeller did a great job getting things to the buyers, and overall the auction was pretty good.  I didnt get to the 2nd ring where all the ammo and other things were being sold.

Many items that I thought would go high didnt.  Example, Ruger #1, 7mm Rem Mag, went for about $650.  OTOH, the M1 Garand went for about $1100, and it didnt look to be in that good a shape.  An insider told me to stay away from the small cal long guns as they had not been stored properly, so I didnt even go that direction.  Besides, I have a few already.  Almost all of the pistols went higher than I expected (specially the one I got), but a few went at what I would consider less than expected prices. 

The auctioneers did a fantastic job.  I had never been to an auction where ProxiBid was involved, so that was interesting.  Overall it was a good time.  100+ buyers in each ring and things moved along quite quickly.  Had to keep an ear/eye open for the things you were interested in.

The prices are listed on the website. Either the guns were junk, or the audience was sleeping. A lot of them went dirt cheap.

That was a great buy for the 31 if in decent shape. Some of the junk handguns went for more than you can buy them new for.

The auctioneer gets paid, if the seller pays it, or the buyer pays it, it is the same as long as everyone knows who pays on the way into the auction.

So, any idea who bought this one, and what it went for? I am curious since I inherited the same model from my Dad, I would like some idea of value for insurance reasons....
