I agree with Bob. The buyers premium at Rock Island is 18%, with a 3% discount for cash. Tack on an additional 8.5% for sales tax if youre an IL resident. I tried to buy a couple guns in the Rock Island auction. But my SOP is to figure the top dollar Id pay, then back out the buyer premium and tax, if applicable.
