Can you top this?

I went to an auction yesterday, and watched a rough top break 32 H&R revolver that didn't even lock up correctly sell for a thousand dollars!

An auction can be quite entertaining if the right folks show up.

Holy crap ! Even in great shape they are only worth about $99 or less.

Eggzakly!

P T Barnum.....today's sucker was at an auction

[gregintenn]

Knowing the man it belonged to, I'm sure there was quite a story behind it. Sadly, I never learned what it was.

Unless that story was something like it was used to shoot a president, Osama, or it fell out of the pocket of D.B Cooper..they can keep it.

Yeah....I know. He had a large family, and I'm guessing at least two of them came with the intention of going home with it for some reason.

Well, now that there throws a different light.  I can see family members going at it like that.

Yep. It could have been not so much that they wanted the gun as much as they didn't want the other person to have it.

I'll be honest, I wouldn't care if it worked or not, if it was say my Dads or Grandpas or other close family members, I'd pay big money just because it was theirs not what it was.
