Thanks for posting.  The auction is on the 7th not the 5th.  The problem with online bidding is the buyers premium.  In person it is 10%, online is 15% and you have to add another 3% if you pay by credit card.  

They do have a nice catalog of guns.  I might have to head over to Martin on that Saturday.

They have a much bigger one next week (That is online only)

Attended the auction at Martin today, only one black assault rifle, mostly older blued and wood long guns. Some were in mint condition and sold pretty good. A few bargains and some real doozies. Some one on the internet paid over $800.00 dollars for a Mossburg  short barrel home defender 12 ga pump.. The auctioneer ask him three times if he was sure he wanted to start the bidding that high for this particular gun and he said yes three times. Only bid and won some CCI 22 hp shorts. No Tupperware guns, only blued and ss. Sold some Red Ryder mint in the box bb guns for over a $100 on the internet, Auctions are always interesting.

Do you remember what that engraved browning deer rifle some for?  I think it was a Browning.

No don't remember about the rifle KharMan, threw away my bidding order list with the prices wrote down when leaving the auction, from 9 am to a little after four pm when I left, long day. The Remington-Rand 1911 a1 brought $1540. Was interested in the Rossi 22 pump{$363}, S&W 640 {$495} but did not bid on them. Have one of the Rossi's in 17 HMR which was bought for a tractor gun for coyotes but less than a box of shells through it. The ss models are hard to find. Had a lot of lever 30-30 guns. Lots of old ammo in boxes sold high. The 410 double brls all sold high.
