    So... Who went? My Father, Brother and I were there. Dad ended up coming home with the Sweet Sixteen.

    Gadgetmonster, thanks for the heads up on this one.

    so how were the prices? Usually when I go to gun auctions the prices seem to be at near new $$ for used guns ;)

    We were some of the last to sign up and get a bid number. My number was 62 so I would guess there were 75 or so in attendance. A good turnout but not overly crowded.

    A good percentage of the firearms are no longer in production so it is pretty hard to judge how the price would compare to new. According to my research of sold items on Gunbroker, the prices were decent and were at or a little above market value. Especially once you factored in the 10% Buyer's Premium, 7% sales tax and the $25 transfer fee.

    Personally speaking, the Sweet Sixteen my Father came home with was a good deal. 95% or better round knob Belgium gun with a Vent Rib IC barrel, a full choke plain barrel and the original, numbers matching box and paperwork.

    The Python went for $2,800. Factor in the buyers premium, sales tax and transfer fee and it was over $3,000.

    Dad gave $1,075 for the Sweet Sixteen, $1,208 after fees and taxes.
