Need some help. I have a bid in on this. It’s cheap so far. What’s it worth on the LOW END. I’m not a collector. I have no old guns. I just want it for no good reason. Local estate sale.

Auction ends tomorrow. Many thx

I was hoping I would hear that. It’s cheap right now. I’m in for $150 and it’s holding. Fingers crossed.

Bidding closes at 7:00 tonight. The wife loves antiques and is all in. I just checked, I still have it. The last hour is the worst part.

🤞 watch out for those last-minute bidders that'll try and swoop in to out bid you a $1 and win ... hopefully, as an estate sale it won't be so ruthless.

It’s an Internet auction with bid increments. Good company. Last minute bid adds 3 minutes to deadline. My wife is a pro.

@doggiecareman thanks so much for the post. Same to you @Iowegan.

My wife wants it. It’s at $185. I’ll go more. I won’t shoot it, but of course hope it’s functional. Wall hanger for us.

Just bought the shotgun. $345 +12% + $20 FFL. I’m pretty excited.

It’s an old Damascus steel barrel gun. I my try a few low brass in it.

 

[Corndog]

Thanks guys. Fingers crossed since I could not see it. I figured it was worth about what I paid if it’s a lump wall hanger.

@Rubone
Your shotgun is beautiful. Is the finish original?

Stunning.

I won’t be firing this gun. That’s not why I bought it. I’m going to carefully clean it up, put something on it like the gun wax you guys talk about, and hang it on the wall with some duck mounts.

I can’t stand the wait to get it. The auction was getting bumped 3 minutes at a time for last second bids and ran 15 minutes over. I had to go and get a nice Bourbon. The sale was in my wife’s hands, she had no idea what it was she was buying, and she wasn’t going to loose. It was fun to watch her in action.

The auction house sends it to the FFL next. Should have it early next week. The FFL said I can pick it up with my permit. It should be a C&R gun but they said all the auction guns go through an FFL.

trainking, Thanks ... I missed that post.

Thanks for your help too. You gave us confidence in our bidding. I might have tapped out sooner.
