Should be fun.
I know a couple of the weapons there and there might be some good deals.
Besides you just never know what might suddenly become a priority item once things hit the block...lol

Looks like a great way to spend part of a day. And maybe a few grand too!

No kidding. I left early, never met pesky or pin. Saw Hillbillyreefer though.

What did the b78 go for?

No way.....


I was asking people with military cop cuts if they are on AO.

I was going to ask the auctioneer to page pesky and pin, but came to my senses lol

Oh well...
Nice to meet you.

We'll have to T-up one morning at Timmy's on the way out one morning...lol

Never even thought of checking the iphone during the auction.

We left early...once most of my stuff was gone.
Managed to get a couple honkers...we need to hunt that field differently...we had bad shape on the thousands that overflew the area.

Did you end up finding any gems?

Yeah.
I should have gone higher there but..I figured he wanted em worse than me and there was no point in running the price up on him too much.

Guess I need new cam though...if you spotted me that easy...

All I could see was your hand waving, the rest of you was invisible.

I said to my buddy beside me "that guy needs those decoys, he's going hunting in about an hour". I guess I was correct.

Default B78

I think the b-78 went for $725, that was the one with the scope. I can't believe another sks hosed someone again. $290 for the gun? And did I hear correctly 17.50 per box of 25 rounds x 48 boxes? If it was he paid $600 to much. Marstar is selling 1200 rounds for $250. I felt bad for letting that happen. Wish I was a little closer to the guy when he was bidding.

No he paid $20 per box, and then had to buy the cleaning kit on top of it.

Yeah...thats what happens when people don't research.

Last time that happened the gun went for about 450. I think and people were trying to stop the guy and he ignored them. Then, he turned around and paid about 10 bucks a box for the ammo which is still more than retail.

I sort of feel guilty but I have to admit...it is pretty hard since it was my SKS and ammo...lol

I was just cleaning out the gun locker and hoping for a bit of beer money but now... it looks like Pesky will be buying a whole bunch of decoys to....bazinga!!!

Anyone know what that tent and the green cam net went for?

Default tent and cam

I bet these must have been yours too? you can buy a few more decoys. Tent went for 85 and cam net went for 55. I was thinking about purchasing an sks last month from magnum just to put in the auction but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Last one went for $575 is what I recall.

Yup and thats about what I expected price wise.

I had ummmm....7 firearms and a bunch of odds and sods at the auction.
The only thing I lost on was the 4x4...because I bought it when they were still a bit higher. Still I almost broke even there. That guy got a reasonable deal the darn thing was accurate and felt good in the shoulder. I just had too many 30-06's and I never liked the idea of a plastic magazine that much. She only had about 60 rounds through her tho...

I think you are right about that last SKS to.
I seem to remember thinking that you could buy a family pack of em and still have money left over for a case of ball ammo and a cup of coffee for that kind of money.

To be honest the SKS was fun but they aren't very accurate and when you look at them on the whole...it isn't really worth the bother.
