I hate to be the one to talk about how I made off like a bandit this last weekend but here it is. I can hold it in no longer.

A friend told me of an estate and gun store auction nearby and I thought it was worth a look. I have been hankering for a 357 for a while so it was on my mind. Once I got there and saw what handguns were going for I decided my savings had found it's purpose in life (tuition and food is so optional).

Sunday I bid on a Colt MkIII 6 in 357 and got it for $250 near new with slight blueing wear off the left side of the barrel. A good deal if you ask me. Then later on I found a S&W Model 19-5 6 in 357 never fired and I bid on it. I left with that one also for $250. When I got home I looked at it and saw the bluing wasn't even worn off the inside of the barrel. When I realized I had a mint Model 19 I was excited to say the least. I still haven't shot it yet (school calls) but will find time soon to decide which one I like most.

I haven't blue booked either of them but I am satisfied that if they don't agree with me I can still make a nice turn around. Well that is my story of the decade and I am darn proud. :)
 
Oh no..... he found me out.

Yup I was there and I presume you were also. Sam, did you end up taking any poor lost firearms home? They called out to me "take me home" and I couldn't resist their pull.

Do you know of any other local TFLers? Might be fun to swap local secrets. Prc AZ
 
I went down Friday and cruised the catalog and stuff. Put in some proxy bids.....found out today I don't need to take a truck to pick up my stuff. In fact, don't need to go at all. I was bidding low dealer and didn't expect much. Sometimes works tho.

Sam.. Some stuff went for rediculousely low prices and other stuff bid up higher than a gun store's prices. Never could tell how it would turn out.

Dan..yes I have thanked the good Lord for guiding my right hand an pocket book. Now if He would just give me time to appreciate my new gifts at the range.
