I'm very familiar with the venue in which those Savages will be auctioned off. It also only took me about two seconds (well, maybe three) to click on the bookmark I keep of that auction house. (The OP's location was the tip-off.) I've been there quite a few times, and have bought some interesting things. Like any auction, it's a crap-shoot whether you get a bargain or not, but they do run a clean auction. It's just that you are in a room with a couple hundred other gun-savvy guys, and auction fever happens. (O lord, how I know!) It's not like an internet auction where you can take your time and deliberate on it before raising your bid...
I was planning to attend this auction regardless. I was aware of it for a while now. If anybody wants to go along, hit me up. (I actually have my eye on a couple of non-Savage items.)
