Wards gun auction happening today in Edmonton on line . Hard to believe people are paying such high prices on used guns.

I was watching a couple of guns that were the same as the ones I had brought to the Ed GS to sell.

The ones at auction went for $100-200 more than what I had put on them.

I did see a SVT40 for $1500+hammer, taxes etc. Not sure what made it worth that much as not my thing

The shotgun i was looking at says "winning bid undisclosed"
Do you guys know if they publish the sell prices later on, or does it stay a secret?

Auctions are the worst place to buy a gun. Overpriced and no guarantee they work.
Buy them here, cgn, townpost or gunpost.
Ive quit watching auctions. The only surprises are how much overpriced they will go for.

I have bought 2 at auction, 1 was 20 to much but it was a 150 dollar gun I wanted, next was market value and I wanted it. I farm and spent my lifetime at auctions, pay attention and there is always another one. But yes prices are crazy, I have a beautiful. cz 527 7.62 I cant sell privately but I am sure auction would be way more.

Wards do publish their sold prices, you just need to check their site every so often to see when they put it up
