Went to an auction today.

[Tailhunter]

Guns and ammo were crazy.

A model 60 marlin .22 went for a tad over 400 bucks. A baggie of .22 shells went for 90.00
A box and a half of 9mm went for 80.00
2 boxes of 3030 was I think 100.00
They were getting over 30 bucks for a few .270 shells.

 

[Leadchunker]

That’s insane!

 

[Tailhunter]

Oh beyond insane. A rusty win 94 3030 was over 700. I think, 🤔, there was a rusted 1100 that went for 1150.

 

[Tailhunter]

.410 shells were 50.00 a box.

 

[ppirate]

Somebody is making money there.

 

[Chriselalto]

Idiot buyers and happy sellers.

That's the basic story of an auction.

 

[Ammoholic]

Unreal, people have gone nutz!

 

[turkeydance]

got to spend that stimulus money.

 

[Windini]

.410 shells were 50.00 a box.

And I bet that was before the buyer's premium?

If only there’d been someone there to protect those folks from those prices

 

[Dale Gribble]

Sounds like the auctioneer knew what they were doing…

Get the crowd worked up into a purrrdy good frenzy, then, price don’t matter anymore…it’s all about the “win”.

That exactly what I told my wife.

He would get them wound up near the end of the bidding by jumping and dancing and running in place all the while screaming out prices.

🤣

 

[vaskeet]

I'm hoping I can get an escort the next time I go to buy a car so I'm protected from making a bad decision.
