Anyone who has been to one, are they worth going to for buying or just looking?

Looks like a few good items. Just waiting for the particular one you want is my issue. Sometimes these get drawn out for hours trying to get rid of all the ammo and little pieces. You been before?

Here is the link, in case you don't have it.

If it's closed to internet bidding one can kick ass. If it's OPEN to internet bidding.....all you're doing is usually running the price up to someone with deep pockets.

Can't argue with that.. I have much better luck at the small, local auctions. I hit one a few years back up in Taneytown and it was raining that night. I scored, big time..I'm not sure how well advertised Redding's Auction is this year. I usually hear of it by now.. I might go and see how the first hour of gun sales goes.. we'll know by then.

The dumpier the dive often equates to the better deals. Not always but very often, unfortunately the BS TV shows have KILLED the steal of the deals. Everybody "thinks" they're a picker now so around tax refund dates they come out like roaches. Best times now are early spring days that it's beautiful out. Everybody is out doing yard work or splashing their boat. Rainy days often make for crowds.....nothing else to do.

At a gun auction like this one, yes indeed. Personal property auction that isn't gun specific.....you "might" catch em napping.

Well went to Reddings. Picked up some dies and some other reloading stuff. Most items was going for close to Retail. A few power buyers picking up the bulk of the smalls. Did not stay for the Firearms.
