Read down to my last sentence in that paragraph, LBK. "All the prices struck me as being eminently fair, mostly."
Bearsclayer- it wasn't Shuman who got the Hornet. It was a very pleasant gentleman from Frederick whom I talked to after the auction. I didn't see Shuman in the audience.
In the end, whatever a gun sells for, no matter the venue, it's what it is worth to the buyer. "Everyone wants a bargain." Of course we do. Who doesn't??? If a gun isn't a bargain and one wants it anyway- all well and good, if one has the money with which to fuel his lust. Not everyone has that kind of money.
Gary,
Know it's only conjecture, but how do you feel the hammer prices at this auction would compare to prices of comparable guns at one of the well known national auction houses?
