Results of todays gun auction.

Well not really a true gun auction, just a auction that had some guns.

I don't have any access to gun values, just data from gun broker, which can swing widely as well.

So I'm going to list a few of the guns that sold, and you tell me whether or not they were a good buy.

Winchester 1906 22 pump. Poor condition, shootable but bluing was almost gone.

$250.

Winchester 67A 22 bolt action. A little sign of use, but in great shape otherwise. $90.

Hi Standard 22 Revolver, plain ol blued barrel: $240.

The two Winchesters?
Very cheap.
You could strip the 06 and sell the parts minus the receiver on eBay for $400 or more.

The HS?
Not so much.

Wish I'd been there for the 67A. No buys at auctions here. Was at one recently where a well- used remingtion 1100 went for just under a grand....

Around here the Amish bid them way up.

Around here, strange old men who go to auctions for a hobby bid them way up.
(All right! I'm a strange old man too! Alright!)

Then come ask me what they bought, and what it's worth after they outbid me! :banghead:

Then get hostile when I tell them what is was worth, and that's why I didn't keep bidding against him and the other old dude that were bidding against each other!

Heed what rc says for he knows of what he speaks...
Also, every farm auction around here will have at least one bolt action shot gun that has been living behind the seat of a pick up truck since Johnson was president.

I saw some 1906s on gun broker for under $250. Can one part those out and make money?

 

[Ryanxia]

Actually $250 is about the going rate for those Winchester 1906 around here.

Was it a online auction or a live one?

I used to go to farm auctions if they had some guns but all I saw was junk that relatives didn't want. Family members took the good stuff.

In this part of OK guys who wish to acquire an "unregistered" gun bid them way up. Well used guns often bring more than a new model of the same gun.

Yeah that's why I quit doing actions, too many folks with more money and freetime than common sense and frugality.

I'll second that.

I recall here at local auctions lately a air gun, that might of been 5 years old at the most, had a price tag from a sporting goods store of 59.99, selling for over $75.

Also...a hi-point pistol with a price tag of 149.99 from a farm and home store, which has them on special sometimes for 139.99, selling for $225.

I never realized that pickup trucks, or even bolt action shotguns, have been around since before U.S. Grant was president!

Well then, you probably didn't know the first shot of the civil war was fired just 20 miles south east if here in 1856.

From the bed of a 4x4 pick-up.
By a bolt-action J.C. Higgins shotgun.

It's a Little known historical fact, unless you live here were like Shanghai McCoy & I do!

See, we know stuff like that.

One of the last household auctions I attended had two parts guns. Both Remington M12 in .22 RF.

They had seperated the two halves and sold them seperately. The front half had a barrel that was about 12 inches long.

So the winning bidder came to an auction and bid on both parts wining the pair for about $150 as I recall. He of course drove home a felon. Auctions are interesting.
