Generally when there’s guns the rich morons show up.

Generally when there is an auction the morons show up, rich or poor doesn't matter, they spend more for items because they get caught up in the bidding and overlook the tacked on auction fees.

I've never been able to buy a gun at an auction they always go way too high and then I see friends of mine and other people get them for 40% less in retail. I'm cursed, lol

when I was a young starving artist I used to frequent auctions looking for bargains. especially back after the oil boom bust. you could find a bunch of good stuff cheap. wasn’t unusual to bring home a truckload of stuff. the one constant was even if it was just one or two guns the prices of just about everything would exceed retail. guns would go 150% which would frustrate the neckbeards who would run prices up on everything.

I haven’t been to many in the past couple decades so who knows.

Excellent observation. If you have to auction off Grandparents' stuff, add a few firearms! Noted!

I haven't set foot in that place since 2015. Occasionally you could find a good deal there but usually their guns were way high.

My first wife learned that one should never go to an auction where the auctioneer is also the loan officer where you bank!

I went to exactly one Chupps auction and witnessed people paying 300% more for guns than they could be purchased at even the gunstores which apply full retail . It was mind boggling

Precisely why people sell stuff at auctions. It's like going into a casino week after week and throwing money at a machine that is designed to keep it.
