There is only one number that matters as far as I'm concerned and that is what it is worth to me. What it is worth to someone else is always irrelevant when I'm looking to buy. When I want to sell, I put the dollars that I want out of it, and let it ride. Might be a good deal, might not.
For several people I know, but could never envy, their value in a piece is how much less they paid than what they think it is worth. In other words, the bargain itself it the source of their pleasures. The rifles and shotguns are merely the vehicles to collect that next "deal of a lifetime".
To each his own.

ol' Jack sure do get de bidders out! Yep, starting everything at $0.01 with no reserve is a real auction. He seems to get a good price for everything he list. I like his auctions, you know it's going to sell and he is not wasting your time with a reserve that is twice the going rate. I've noticed a slight downturn in the price of classic custom rifles in the last couple months so that might account for the lower sale price on the Niedner.

Getting high bids in the middle of the week, when he only runs his auctions on Sunday, makes me think folks just bid the prices up well knowing they will never have to actually buy it. I've been watching his auctions for about a year, since you introduced me, and have never bid on anything knowing the price would double or triple by the weekend. I do enjoy studying his offerings as he has multiple quality pix of most all views of many very interesting guns. Have even thought about consigning stuff to him.
ol' Jack sure do get de bidders out. Half of the job for successfull auctions, the other half is gettting good stuff to sell. The chicken and the egg...

I bid a little different than most. I wait until the last day and if I'm going to bid I make my ONE bid and walk away.
There are always more nice rifles than money for them.

There are always more nice rifles than money for them. I always wait until the last 30 seconds or so of an Auction and put in my maximum bid. On Ebay there's no time left for anyone to outbid you unless they have a previously entered highest bid, that exceeds yours. Sadly I never get to bid on US Gun Auction Sites, there's too many legal problems to sort out afterwards. Harry
