I am not following this thread, but I must say that "auction services" like proxibid do not follow the actual bids that are submitted by the bidders on the auction company's site nor will they follow the actual bids on the auction floor during the auction. Computers are good but not good enough. Bid on the auction company's site and save a bunch of money.

A very well run auction. weather some guns were in auction before. As in any auction know what your buying and set a limit before bidding. Mr Deeter had a long time friendship and association with James Julia. Gary and Dale Guyette's interest in decoy collecting and marketing began in 1974 when they started buying decoys on their antique buying trips from Maine to the Canadian Maritime Provinces.

In 1984, they started a decoy auction business with Fairfield, Maine auctioneer Jim Julia. After 7 successful years, they bought out Jim and sold part of the business to collector Frank Schmidt, in 1992. The business thrived, growing to over $200,000,000 in total sales with auctions in three locations throughout the US.

In 2011, Frank Schmidt sold his share of the company to Jon Deeter to create Guyette & Deeter, Inc.. Surpassing the $200,000,000 mark in total sales in 2020, and hosting three annual auctions, Gary and Jon travel throughout the country to decoy shows, providing appraisals and scouting out collections for upcoming auctions.

Today, Guyette and Deeter, Inc. has its base of operations in St. Michaels, Maryland. We also operate a successful weekly online auction year round at www.decoysforsale.com.and With the staff he has assembled will be a great place place to find or sell high grade Guns. . People interested should follow the auction on their website not a third party site like proxie bid. the eats and drinks preview night were great.
