Fugk me….. 10% buyers premium and 5.3% sales tax added on. Ouch! Funny how that works though. I to have noticed a direct correlation between the amount of alcohol consumed while bidding and the number of bids won. Between inflation and guns tending to retain value you’ll be glad you have them and consider the price you paid today a bargain before long.

Sat on a the local chapter of the DU Banquet committee for a few years long time ago.
Getting people chit faced to run up auctions was my sub-comittee. This is DU's business model. It's very effective too. Beautiful Flirtatious Ladies, Donated Alcohol and Rich Alpha Males. That's a basic model for many fund-raisers. Have seen it not only at DU events but those of Ducks Unlimited, Mule Deer Foundation, Pheasants Forever, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and others. An "open bar" works best, but isn't essential.

Watched a guy bidding on a cured ham at a 4-H auction. He bid $75 and thought he was buying the whole ham. Didn’t realize it was selling by the pound. It was a 20+ lb ham. He made good but caught a lot of hell from his drinking partners.
