Anybody looking to outfit a small army?

MacGuns · Mar 31, 2015

Funny they are calling Swiss K31's sniper rifles. They do have some nice pioneer bayonets.

embermage · Apr 1, 2015

Damm I want those Steyrs

BigDaddy · Apr 2, 2015

Why do they not label the pics?

somd_mustangs · Apr 2, 2015

some of those Astra pistols are pretty rare....
and that's a ginormous flare gun collection!

JayB · May 4, 2015

Wow! Lots of cool stuff. I'll check it out. Thanks for the post.

Holy Smokes!!! I got dibs on the MAS 49/56, 7.5mm French semi-auto, and the amish stuff. If I am outfitting said army, I want to be comfortable with well-made, handcrafted americana furniture to go with my european armory.

ajusog · May 10, 2015

All that firepower and not one helmet? I may have overlooked them with all the signal flare pistols taking up 3/4 of the page, but with an armament like that, I guess you're not the one ducking your head or have to worry about return fire.

Auctionzip has crappy pics and no description. Invaluable is much much better in all ways. You may need to register to see the auction, but then you can watch it live, bid or see what things sold for.

BigDaddy · May 16, 2015

somd_mustangs · May 16, 2015

That isn't auctionzips fault.... that is the actual auction company responsible for submitting bad pics.

The huge buyer commission and dealing with the FFL transfer on pistols (since it's in MD) is a real turn off, esp. for those of us with FFL-03's. Heck the transfer fee on some of these was almost the cost of the pistol itself. But if I'd known it would be like this... well, yeah I would have gone. I think the flare guns were the real sleepers, some rare stuff there and no FFL req'd.

yup. they did a terrible disservice to the consignors with crappy pics and very poor descriptions (for those intending to bid online). People that actually went in person said they were much better condition than indicated.

but the point is that AuctionZip just has one unlabeled pic, while Invaluable has the auction houses full set of pics matched with the description - for whatever that's worth in
this case. Invaluable is just much easier to use and better in all ways as mentioned above

BigDaddy · May 16, 2015

I stand corrected, sort of. The link in the OP led to a place to click on photos with no description. The actual AuctionZip bidding site had a description and the same pics as Invaluable.

I continue to be unoffended by buyers premiums. The FFL fees were pretty reasonable $25 for the 1st handgun and 15 for each additional. Long guns were 15 and 5. If you went in person and won the German Makarov for $275, the buyers premium would be 42.

Contrast that with a GB purchase, where the seller has to use his FFL and wants $60 for shipping and your FFL will want $50/60 for the paperwork. And you are never going to buy one these days off GB for $275

Damn, 25, 15, 15 & 5 is almost free! :eek:

Many auctions up this way to my pleasant surprise has NO buyers premium. I likea that!

Some however do.... :shrug:

somd_mustangs · May 16, 2015

OK, that link fooled me too if there was another better one.
No doubt with hammer prices that low it was a buyers market today and well worth it even with the fees. Oh, and don't forget MD 6% tax.

Yup.... some think they got a steal BUT when you add the adds........ 15%, 6% and another 3 or 4 for use of a CC it adds up bigtime.

lumbermut · May 16, 2015

Buyers premium at the auction was 10%; higher percentage if you bid online.
