Well the sealed bid results are in.
It's a slightly different game than the standard auction.
Looks like I managed to burden myself with a couple more projects and some useful scrap.
The costs are rather low so no major impact if the items end up having no further functioning life, 46 pounds for the remnants of a WR Pape retailed sidelock under lever 16 bore for example. It'll be interesting to discover if there's anything to be done with it.

dealers like to make substantial profits from their guns. They buy at auction, which in my opinion, sets the market value for the gun. Add 50% - 100% markup and it starts to get ridiculous - you are very likely not getting your money back in this life time.

That said, I have occasionally done OK buying or trading for guns I liked and later letting them go to people who wanted them more than I did.
