When to a firearm Auction Sat. and really got a "LEARNING" on what the gun market is doing now. Now, being one that keeps up with said market, I found that I would not pay the $$$$ that the items were bringing. I.E. Kimber Custom II , 45 ACP, in case, $775. , Colt KIng Cobra, 357 Mag. $740. Smith and Wesson Mod 586, 357 mag, $575. Smith and Wesson , mod 60, 38 special, $500. Long story short, why are firearms going at such high prices ? This Auction was in the small town of Winchester, Ky. Most in attendence looked like your adverage Farmer. I saw one in Bib Overhauls and a long beard spend $3,800 in about 10 minutes. So these were not your big city buyers looking to re-sell for a profit. These were folks stocking up.
