There are some very fine rifles/shotguns/antique firearms leftover asking for reasonable offers from the last auction a few days back. Appears to me they were all reserved too high, maybe the owners are closer to reality now. If there's something one likes, can't hurt to make a reasonable offer. All they can do is say "No". xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us?

Its not reality, it is the lack of!!  Its an election year, the economy is not exactly booming, folks are worried about traveling as ISIS runs rampant and Obama plays his fiddle, or fiddles with his fiddle stick, while Rhome burns, and the Republican party has gone bonkers on us and may implode, and all we can do is pray that Hillary goes to the joint or our guns are in grave jeopardy.

I got the Julia email alert and I went in and got frustrated that no minimums were quoted. I assumed they were too high to even mess with. But, thanks for the reminder Gato. I also appreciate the heads up on the Nosler sale which I only saw 2 days after you posted it. So, I couldn't take full advantage of it.

These were the leftovers a couple days ago. Call one of Julia's representatives to negotiate. Josh Lowensteiner is a good guy. http://jamesdjulia.com/auction...ty-arms/?available=1 NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | |||

There are no minimums quoted because there are no minimums. You are making an offer. However, you can take the estimated sale price into account and offer accordingly. If the low estimate is say, $10K, then a $3K offer is not likely to buy it and is wasting your and their time. I lowballed two or three items, meaning my offer was below, but not too far below, the estimated low end sales price, but don't really expect to get them. If I hadn't spent more than I needed to on 4 guns at the Poulin auction, I would have been more serious. Be aware that the Buyer's premium (15% if paying in cash or check)is still in effect. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Seems like a lot of items.What percent of original offering did NOT sell?Didn't see many deals.Some of the Fabbris are tempting but 15% BP kills them. | |||

I dunno what the percentage is but their auctions have a LOT of guns, so it would probably be under 2-3% would be my WAG. I'm not sure but I think this amount of "leftovers" is higher than normal. I suspect oil prices may have something to do with it being higher than normal plus the African hunting costs are killing some of that market. If you can't make an OFFER and figure the 15% in, then you probably shouldn't buy at auction ever. Geesh. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us?

Fortunately I need another Fabbri like I need another cranial foramen.Didn't see any deals there. | |||

Yep, divide your best offer by 1.2 Should get you close to where you need (your actual bid) to be considering shipping costs.

I ended up with four from Poulin, too. Mine were 1858 and 1961. Which ones did you snag? | |||
|
| one of us |
Offhand, I don't recall the numbers, but it was 2 Wilson .45s, a very cool engraved antique hammer 16ga, and a Schuetzen. AFA Fabbris go, they have been and will be out of my price range. However they are the finest feeling shotguns I've ever handled. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.
