Re: Amoskeag Auction
Auction house charges a big percentage to sell. They charge a big percentage to buy. They wind up making around 50% of the proceeds of the guns sold. This is why almost all auctioneers are multi millionaires. Make up your own mind of whether it's worth it or not. They do a lot of work, pictures, adv...

Re: Amoskeag Auction
The two Model 1899 carbines I had low bids on sold for over 3X my bid!! $2,000 for a Model 1899 carbine. They were nice but nothing special other than all correct.
Wow! Glad I have what I need. Can't afford this market anymore. Time to sell some, I guess...

Re: Amoskeag Auction
mattau, The one you referenced above: "An 1896 carbine (lot 75, s/n 31166) was sold earlier today by Milestone auctions. $900 for what looked like a complete original." I had a low bid on also but didn't want to pay much and chase after it. Around $1,200 after added costs. I was interested...

Re: Amoskeag Auction
Yea, I didn't think it was an 1898 but for the low bid, I'll take another Model 1899 carbine with a correct rear sight!
If I get one cheap, maybe I'll sell it to Paul (at no profit!) to get him to join the Krag carbine club. He's needed one for a loooong time!!

Re: Something You Can't Unsee
Did my joke cartoon thread get highjacked?? Nice discussion. But, one factor that may be being overlooked with the Trump issue. I don't think this egotistical powerhouse could have ever gotten this far without significant spiritual guidance and support. He has lots and lots of prayers supporting him...

Re: Amoskeag Auction
Very true, low bids. Carbines SN: 1405 AND 1545 I currently have the high bids for. I'm not bidding real high because I don't need to add more regular carbines to my collection but I don't like to see apparent good ones go for too low money. I do suspect they will be bid much higher by onsite bidder...

Re: Something You Can't Unsee
I do agree that Photoshop was used to alter this picture. That basket on the front of the bike doesn't look like it belongs there and was added!

Re: My purchases in the last 72 hours

Re: Gun Shows and events
I've used that laugh myself at many gun shows. That's why I rarely go anymore. Have a nice Sunday!
