I wish she’d have done it before I drove three hours for nothing.

So we don’t have any Cannon Countians here? Surely somebody knows what happened.

Three hour drive just to get there and find out it was canceled, that sucks. To be honest it probably saved you a bunch of money, I've went to a few with a buddy and what they had was going way more than a new one would cost you. Now if they listed something you've been searching for and that was the only source then to me it would be worth it, but you'd still have to deal with the other  bidders that want the same gun, I've seen some "ego"  bidding happen and just sit back and laugh to myself and shake my head.

My niece was going to go but found out beforehand it was canceled.

Yah prob saved you from a bunch of tauras and beat yp zip guns!

The only real gun auction I ever went to only had one gun I wanted. When it came up, the bidding went past me so fast all I heard was SOLD! before I could even raise my hand.  I haven't bothered with them since.

To clarify, it was a 3 hour round trip; not one way.

She didn't happen to find out why did she?

The local doughnut shop had a two-for one sale going on at the same time ...
