Had a wedding to go to on Saturday... missed this auction

[magnumwheelman]

my assistant was at the auction, texted me this picture...

it ended up selling for $140.00... I told her I would go as high as $400.00 ( I did not expect $400.00 would buy this lot ) but she didn't have the cash to cover it...



Wedding was downtown Minneapolis, didn't start till 3:30 PM, everything ran behind... I told MRS, we were out of there by dusk, as it was NOT in a good neighborhood... it was well after dark, before we even ate... I unbuttoned my cover jacket, & took the hammer thong off the hammer of my holstered 45 snubbie, as we walked the 2 blocks to the parking ramp, past the hookers & the drug dealers... got out fine... but would have rather bought that table of ammo

Dang !!!
That is like a gazillion dollars worth of rimfire fun .

yup... I figured with the shortage not over, that it would sell for between $800-$1,000.00... $140.00 is giving it away... she said her & one other guy there were bidding, she had to stop at what she could spend, & $5.00 more was what it sold for... who knows... I might have gotten it for $400.00 but it could have/ should have gone lots higher

there were several boxes of self defense ammo & .410 shells in there too... though I couldn't really see the calibers

Wonder which will last longer, wedding or ammo..sorry. Was at a great nephews wedding down in the Blue Ridge Mtns last weekend. Am hopeful for their future,

Some lucky bidder is a happy camper! Things like this are the reason I willfully skip 99.5% of wedding's that I'm invited to...It has to be someone REALLY special.

hard to believe how cheaply it sold...

That'll make you sick....

That was a lot of fun on that table.
