had to see to believe

[Shug]

Went to a gun auction yesteday. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I never would have believed it. Sks's going for $650, AR 15 type weapons going $ 1500-2000. a M&P ar with a light and a Cheap sight went for $2500 plus a 10% buyers premium, plus 9.25% tax, plus $10 state fee, plus $10 paper work fee put the gun at over $3000.00. A box of 500rds of 5.56 went for $400. This was just an inkling of what went on. It's hard to comperhend what people are willing to pay.

Gun auctions usually see ridiculous prices being paid, even before recent events.

I can believe it. I went to a gun auction last summer, and it was crazy then. Post CT, a public gun auction, and wow! PT Barnum is clawing to get out of the grave to get a piece of this action!

Was this in Cleveland? I saw the advertisment in the paper and would have liked to have went. But the last time I went to one the prices went well North of a reasonable rate. Much like what you desribed.

Yup, he's talking about the posey auction.

At the one in Knoxville, I saw a cheap Saiga12 conversion attempt on sale for $1675. Probably had 650 in it.

Looked like a cheap Tapco stock, don't know about the trigger kit, but my son and I have done much better on

our/his conversions. I guess I just help out.

The rest of the prices were just, kinda hilarious.

Yes it was the Posey auction, I try to go every year just to watch some of the prices. And every now and then you can pick up a deal
