Browsing through the KC Star this morning (Sun Feb 8) looking at the classifieds, seeing what types of rifles and shotguns, etc (no handguns allowed thank you very much KC RedStar) and found an auction item that caught my eye so I followed it around till I found this link...
http://www.lindsayauctions.com/salebills/FEB 13 GUN LIST.htm
and whistled as I scrolled down through the 4 page list going, wow! I want! Ooh, look! Another A5?
4 consecutive numbered Win 9422 Boy Scout commeratives, an O3A3 Rem, a few fixer uppers, etc...
So I got to thinking about youse guys back in the KC area (my old hometown) and thought I'd post this...
But then I kinda got curious. Does anyone here actually buy from auctions an if so, did ya get a deal or did some bozo drive the price up in a bidding war?
The local police here in LV used to auction off their unclaimed evidence, etc guns and bikes and back when I had my C&R, I'd get notified and go down and watch all the shop owners decide who was gonna get what and then do just that, since they had scads of cash in hand.
Still and all, it does seem like an interesting way to acquire old, used firearms (but look at that list and the few N.I.B. they show).
Hmmmm, gotta start cruising all of the local auction house websites to see if they're on the web as well.
