    Erm, it's a sealed bid auction. Don't expect those with low estimates to sell cheaply lol

    Bargains can still be had at auction, just bid what you are prepared to pay accounting for all the fees. Be prepared to be disappointed most times and occasionally delighted by a bargain. I've got carried away live budding and found myself over paying in the past!

    I resisted the sealed bid auction, bought one antique ml rifle on their main auction a few weeks back, it turned out to be better than i had thought so a result.
    Got enough air rifles at the moment!

    Well I have put a couple of low bids in on a couple of things. I doubt I will get them but you never know?!

    Minimum bids were the lowest estimate, which on many lots makes them too costly once buyers premium, shipping and RFD costs are taken into account even on the lowest estimate.

    Some of the estimates were crazy low or crazy high. There was an XS78 CO2 rifle where the lower estimate was more than it was worth even before the add-ons?

    Anyway, good luck to anyone on here who has submitted bids.
