Went to a auction in DeForest, WI, this weekend. Mostly household stuff, but a some long guns and ammo. I was bidder 147 and one of the last to arrive. There was maybe 20 guys that showed any interest in the firearms.
Everything went higher than I thought it would.
They were all well cared for but had some mileage on them. None were abused or rusted. No boxes or cases for any of them. I could be off on some of the prices, the Auto 22 and M94 for the only two I was really interested in.
I would of liked to buy some .22 ammo, but not at those prices. Still seems to high, for me. The only good deal was on .50 cal ammo cans. Most were okay. A few had some minor rust. There were like 10 or 12 and they all sold together as a lot for $8 per box.

(1) 500 rd case of Remington .22 LR, same era -- $70 for the brick.
Various boxes of "vintage" .30-30 and .30-06 -- all sold for more than retail
