How do we get to watch that??

20% buyers fee + a 30% buyers fee. Who would consign a firearm under those terms? Nuts.

Thinking you have a typo there, but seeing historic prices, I'd sell their in a heartbeat. The question I have, is who is buying a firearm under those terms:

-5% GST;
-15% Buyers Premium;
-Shipping: $60.00; and,
-CC Fee: 3%.

So, unless you're local, you're paying $1,044.00 on a $800.00 purchase. Makes sense if your getting a deal and paying $300-$400 under "list" price, but from what I've see, unless it's a higher end gun (of which I don't usually see many), that's not the case.

These guys are out to lunch
5 % GST +20 % buyers fee + 18% Credit card fee = 43% mark up after you bid.
And 30 % for sellers fee. So they make 70% on every gun they sell !
NO cash or Debt card excepted !

18% credit card or 15% E-transfer take your pick

Just talk to Ward ,as it is a very confusing site.

Because of Covet 19 they do not want to deal with people ,very understanding.

So on top of your bid you will be charged
5% gst
15 % buys fee
3% credit card fee.
So it will be 5% + 18 = 23%
or
5 % Buyers fee
15% buyers fee
0% for e-transfer
5% +15% +0% = 20 %

no cash or credit card
Must call ahead when you are picking up .

Ive been watching it too and there doesn't seem to many deals on the quality rifles once u figure in the charges and tax on them.

In my experience, your initial statement will prove to be correct.

I do know a guy that has 20 riffles in there , and had to sell them all because of health reasons . Some of them are just a few years old and hardly been shoot .
His Fair shot gun he paid $3500 the bid is at $1400
His Browning 300 with scope he just bought he paid $1600 it is at $700 only.
He has a few 22 in there that have never been shot .
So someone is getting a real good deal !
When I started to bid I was up to 20 guns total .
Going to be interesting what I end up with.
Paying 15 % on top is not to bad .
A $200 gun will cost you $230 to take home at this auction.
Same gun New at a store would be $400- $500. to take home .

Live auction starts today ...here is the link.

The guy you know, would be far ahead to have sold his firearms on consignment at a place like Prophet River. They would have gotten him fair market value, and paid a commission no more than the auction sellers fee.

Let us know what you got + price. Call me extremely sceptical 're deals to be had unless Covid-19 really depresses things.

[harv3589]

few of the ones I was watching have ended and no deals whatsoever...going for the same prices as you find them on here or on CGN

[Xiph0id]

Most guns I bid on went over retail or what I could buy them for at PD.
I bought a small safe for a decent price though.

Higher even. I took a look at some of the prebids for items coming up. 10-20% higher than you can walk out and buy one new, and thats Before the add-on fees.

Paying gst on used firearms? Uh, no thanks.

[saskbooknut]

FAIR Jubilee Prestige 12 gauge ended at $2250 plus buyer's premium, plus GST.

[icehunter]

Is there any way to check on final sale price? There was about 20 firearms I was watching before and just want to see what they went for. I just went into wards website and all it comes up is bidding concluded.

[rugerfan]

They generally post a prices realized pdf in a week or two. Under completed auctions on their site.

Yup I quit bidding online there years ago, just crazy high prices then add on 15% buyers fee, 5% GST and 3% credit card change for 23% total fees and it's way out to lunch, never even registered for this one

I believe the one on the site went for $750. Buddy who owned it had $1500 into it . only had it for a few years ,maybe two boxes threw it .
So someone got a good deal
