It looks to me like a lot of guns basically sold for what I would consider to be retail minus sales tax so I would say 5-10% off of retail was the average savings I observed. Thats not great and I bet you could have found used Glocks for less on Armslist in the time in took to bid on one here. I think a lot of people just enjoyed the convenience and novelty of bidding on a local, online auction. As always, people just love fancy Kimber 1911s. Several of those sold for maybe 10% less than it would cost to buy them brand new. A fairly used Taurus Curve sold for about $300 after fees which I thought was interesting. Might be a good piece to add to a collection of you like odd guns. There was a four-inch Colt Python that looks like it had been stripped of its finish that went for $1100 which could be an interesting project. I’m not an expert on the Colt Cobra, but if one werr knowledgeable on the models and interested in them I think they could have cleaned up on those guns. I was looking at the SW99, one of the 686s, the SW 39, the SW 59 and the 6 inch Dan Wesson revolver. The price that the first three commanded I would have paid if someone hadn’t gotten there first. The two biggest auctions I watched were the FS2000 which you knew would command a premium, but I was surprised by the amount of interest in the DW pistol pack that went for $2100 before fees. It was the nicest pistol pack I have ever seen, but that is $2625 after the fees. You wanna talk about getting burned by fees, that is the one that stuck out to me. At $2100 it is dear, but once that fee hits the buyer has massively overspent on that.</p></blockquote><p></p>
