Holts sealed bid auction.

[flogger]

I bid on several but only got one rifle and one pistol this time. Neither are really bargains, especially if I drive up from Kent to collect. I must say I prefer conventional auctions over sealed bid. Whenever you win a lot on the latter, you immediately wonder if you bid too high!

I agree with your logic, i bought a gun in last sealed bid auction i bid high because i did not want to loose it, but if i had bid
£90 lower i would still have won it.
