Estate Sale - 44 Auto Mag - 07/13/20
Headed out yesterday (7/12/20) to a distant "estate" sale that had several firearms included.
Including 4 that I was interested in. One was a stainless 44 Auto Mag that turns out was like new and in the original box.
In my dreams I envisioned "stealing" this kind of rare pistol for just a few hundred dollars.
Seems even WAY out in the country folks know what guns are worth.
The pistol sold for $2,150.00 (two thousand one hundred and fifty dollars!)!
Not bad for a pistol that originally sold for $217.50 (two hundred and seventeen dollars and fifty cents!) back in the early 1970's!
I did get to handle the pistol and it brought back memories of the interest (frenzy) that surrounded these guns back then.
Bought several items at the estate sale but alas all the guns went "high" and I was unsuccessful in my bids on them.
The high items included two original model Ruger 22 semi-auto pistols (pre-MK-I's) these guns were in rather poor condition (80%) and sold for $450.00 (four hundred and fifty dollars) and $475.00 (four hundred and seventy five dollars!) respectively - I don't know why?
Anyone ever own/shoot an "Auto Mag"?
Hold into the wind
