Hi...
I attend a lot of gun auctions and generally enjoy myself whether I win some bids or not.
Today, I went to a auction here in southcentral Pennsylvania and it didn't go well at all for me.
Didn't win a single bid from the start of the auction until I left after an hour and a half.
Most of the stuff I was interested in went for more than I thought it was worth.
There were several lots of smokeless powder that in many cases had containers that were early empty yet they brought quite high bids.
Beat up rusted die sets went for prices comparable to new die sets.
A beat up Midway tumbler with damage went for $70.
There were several lots of new rifle brass that went for the price of brass at a retail store.
Disappointing...I don't attend auctions to pay retail. I go to auctions to get bargains.
I finally got frustrated and left without buying anything.
Pretty much ruined my plan for the day...I expected to be there all day and get quite a few things.
Didn't happen that way.
