Anyone get anything from the latest AAA auction (Sept 2023)?

Despite actually having a useful amount of money available, most of the stuff I was bidding on ended up going for stupid prices, or I could tell the other person I was bidding against had deep pockets and long arms, and that was a game of financial chicken I’m not in a position to play.

A few bargains in there though, especially among the “modern” guns though.

As always there were also some head-scratchers; a Lebel M1886 went for $6,500(!) and an S&W Victory model revolver going for $1600 being among them…

Wow that Lebel price is crazy, I dont see alot of them around but it still seems like a lot. It was probably the only thing I was realistically interested in but not for that much.

That was my thought too - Lebel rifles aren’t common here but they’re not $6500 rare either.

There was also a Lebel M1892 Revolver in there too which I was interested in if the price was right, but not for the $1900 it went for.

You’re not wrong about the price frenzy, I’ve given up on the auctions these days.

Price frenzy? Lots of Sakos were passed in at ridiculously cheap prices. There were plenty of bargains to be had, grabbed one myself.
