Can add 6% sales tax plus transfer fees plus any buyers premium to the winning bids...

I received a phone call late Friday night about a gun auction Saturday and it was going to have some really nice 99's. There was a new 99A 375 ,99c 308, 99c 284, there was a F 358, 99c 22-250. I went to the auction and these guns were all in great shape. Auction was in the backwoods of PA and I really had intensions of picking up the 284. I wrote down the closing bids of these guns and this is what they sold for: 99C 284 2,000.00 , 99C 308 2,300.00 99F 358 3,000.00 , 99C 22-250 3,300.00 and the 99A 375 3,800.00 The seller had the box for the 375. I didn't buy anything LOL
going by those prices, i haven't been lying to the wife all these years about" its better than stocks" lol

Sounds like there were a few intoxicated bidders with fat wallets and big egos at that auction.

I was at an auction once and there were several really nice 99's there. I had a stack of 100's in both my pockets. I was there to buy some guns. There was a guy there that bought every single one of the best ones and never blinked an eye. And all those Benjamin's went home with me. I heard later that natural gas has just been discovered on his property.
He wanted those guns and he didn't care what they cost and he wasn't leaving without them.
You just never know when you go to an auction.

Come to think of it, of all the auctions I've gone to, I've only managed to bring a couple of 99's home. But the ones I did get were really good and really cheap. It all depends on who is there that day and you don't know that until you go and the bidding starts.
