[QUOTE="7stw, post: 2013885, member: 18402"] I was their and did purchase a "project" mdl 12 in 16 ga. Most of the long guns had slight surface rust unless they where new or as new in the box. The IH garrand was in good plus shape and all numbers matched. So 1700 was a fair price. The win mdl 60 61 63 and 1890's demanded premium prices but most were in excellent shape most as new in the box. The Brownings and berrettas also sold well. Their where several out of state collectors and vendors in attendance as well as several local collectors and dealers. It was well attended in general. I went to purchase a couple of the Belgium bar's and couldn't quite get one bought. Things where not grossly overpriced IMO. They just brought retail value.(online buyers also had a buyers premium) but if you go to a well advertised large gun auction expecting a steal they rarely exist. I had to leave before it was over so I can't speak for the last 50 or so lots but it was a good one while I was there. The best deals where in his coin collection. [/QUOTE]
