Who made the rule? The people who don't want you to see a live Auction end of story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get it either. Those last 2 1899 B's that I passed on last May were handled by many at one of the last Savage Fests. Not a single bite. They went through 2 or 3 gunshows and STILL no takers. I've been told there are a bunch of "cheap bastards" here. Everyone wants a bargain. It doesn't work that way normally. If you REALLY want something money should not stand in the way. The forum itself has been accused of trying to drive the prices down. It just doesn't work that way. Unless you are an actual firearm's appraiser (as is at "least one among us" is) then you're just guessing. Money is useless and worthless unless you spend it.
