THE BUCKSTIX COLLECTION IS UP FOR SALE

[375Ruger416]

Wow - great collection - GLWS!

 

[buckstix]

Over the years, I bought a lot of my treasures from on-line auctions, including some of these, by bidding 26% less than what I was willing to pay.

GLWS. Hope your health improves.

YES ... GETTING OLD .... AND HEALTH ISSUES ... I WANT TO KNOW WHO GETS MY STUFF

I hope your health isn't too bad & recoverable, I Know the age part isn't at this stage !

When I first saw this I thought Oh what are you buying this time ?
As I remember you were buying some hunting or retiring land last time ?

Love the C&H Cape gun ! But I imagine it would be a mountain of paperwork both sides to try and get it to Europe ......

My health is not terminal, just not the best and getting too old to play with all my toys. The last auction I had was with RIA so I could buy the hunting land that I had been leasing for 50 years ... I was absolutely disgusted with the outcome and barely had enough to buy the land - no extra. ... that's why this time I went with Poulin ... PM me for details.

I was shocked at the buyer's premium. Is that pretty standard?

That is highest buyer’s premium I’ve ever seen. Auctions with a buyer’s premium 10-15% is more standard.

It is unusual in being so high and in my opinion just hurst the consignor. Most people will factor that in to the price they are willing to pay. So items go for less money that actually goes to the owner of the object.

Wonderful collection though.

 

[buckstix]

Same buyers premium as most other auctions. 25% is standard these days.

Doesn't bother me at all. Figure out the max of what the gun is worth to the potential buyer, multiply that times 0.75 and bid that amount. Easy peasy. There are some things listed that are very unique. I've never regretted paying a bit on the high side for something unique and hard to find. I have deeply regretted somethings I balked on and later wished I had bought.

 

[buckstix]

You always remember the guns you could have bought... But didn't.

so, 25% from the buyer and close to that from the seller. its a win-win for the auction house and a loser for the seller. say a firearm sells at auction for 2,000 dollars, the auction house gets close to 50 % of the selling price. and the seller gets 25 % less from bidders who bid 25% less to make up for it. not for me, either way.

I believe the only premium is assessed to the buyer.
