I'll say outright, I was expecting this gun to go for at least double the hammer price. Its a nice all original gun with box and has some rare features.
I didn't bid because I didn't think this gun would be anywhere near my price range. It still isn't, but its a lot closer than I thought it would be, and I could have sold some guns to make the difference.....if only, right?
I have been seeing prices on a lot of collectors grade guns fall for a while now....I've gotten what I've thought have been some really good deals, but I'm thinking we might be seeing a market readjustment, or just the effects of a poor economy.
Maybe its the older generation passing, and their heirlooms not retaining the value they once had to their former owners.
What do you think about this auction price?
I think someone got one heck of a deal but maybe there is something i'm not seeing.
