Amoskeag Recon: anyone want to come?

[majspud]

I'm heading up to NH to check out the next auction. Benefit of being retired. Anyone able/want to come? Totally flexible on time; just have to go to the RMV first.

Lugers, lugers, lugers, so many lugers. Prices there have reached the "unobtainable".

 

[majspud]

I'll be going Sunday 3/26.

I will likely be there Sunday too. Prob will be priced out but you never know I guess. First time going

 

[majspud]

Of course, there are six I'm interested in, but the one I really want is chronologically last. So I come home with it - or nothing.

Tim, if I wasn't working I'd certainly go up if nothing else just to oogle em. GB has been pretty good to me lately so my budget is blown!

I'll be there tomorrow about 9:30; red flannel shirt and pocket watch. Anyone go today?

I wanted to go yesterday. I had interest in the Union Switch & Signal 1911, but had to work. Now I'm curious what that US&S went for.

I decided not to go. I figured I would be priced out. Maybe next time

I always figured that an auction house would put things outside my price range, though some of what you posted sounds reasonable. I suppose It's like anything else tough, no rhyme or reason and could go either direction. I may have to check the next one out.

Nice score! Seems like overall prices are reasonable- more or less typical market or a little better. Muchas gracias for posting the activity. I was thinking about going but nothing that I'm really looking for this go-around.

Nice grab, Tim! I need to find myself there one of these days.

 

[daekken]

Nice, congrats. Given that I'm not that far away I should make the trip sometime; this was bad timing for me though.

 

[majspud]

Bore is a little rough; hope it cleans up. Prices seemed very reasonable, but
Then you add the 15%. I'll take a close look later tonight.
