Well someone got a heck of a deal on this one. The hammer itself is worth $25% of the total final cost. Oh well, I said I always wanted to try a no reserve penny start auction..

The gun was unique to be sure, and very interesting, but while everyone loves case coloring (including me), I wonder if it might have brought more if perhaps the case color was limited to the frame alone, together with the hammer, or perhaps just the frame, grip frame and hammer. There was so much of it I think it might have overwhelmed the gun. However, I too was a bit surprised it didn't sell for more. it was a nice piece.

I'm not really in a buying position, so I never seriously looked at that, but it was likely worth twice what it sold for... at least I expect it would have sold for about $3000.00
guy selling for me say's he sees kind of a seasonal selling thing, & late summer there are less people bidding / lower prices... maybe everyone is taking vacation & either not on the auction site, or spent money taking the kids somewhere before school...
I've got new guy seller jitters on the 15 items I have listed right now... only one of the 5 rifles is close to what I thought a fair selling price with a few more days to go... 10 handguns are pretty slow, with some listed last Sunday night, without even a penny bid yet, a 1/2 a week later
guess I should be listing "assault" rifles...
Robb... if that one was listed a couple months later, I'd have bid on that... it was a most beautiful revolver...

I was so tempted to buy it to get that hammer!
I was a good boy, though. This summer has been slow for my business and I'm trying to keep Dave Ramsey proud of me.

It was worth the education. In retrospect I will list earlier in the day next time do the auction ends early evening east coast time. Have to decide what if anything goes next.
