For several years I have dealt in the buying and selling of old coins and bills. So I feel that I have a good feel for what an item is worth. Well I went to an auction yesterday and everything was going for fair money, household and shop items. Then when they got to rifles that is when the fools came out. 1 rifle that new in the box would go for anywhere around $475 to $500. This one went for $560, now keep in mind, USED. After that came my area, coins and bills. Talk about a fool and his money. I did get a few items that I can make a profit on. But lets say a Morgan. wholesale would be $20 to $25. Noooo, this one dude paid $47. And for the condition true retail would be $30 to $34. On some items there was one bidder that would go against me. He was watching and smiling. He knew or I think that he knew what I was doing. Ya I will admit I was helping to inflate there value. I look at it has helping the elderly couple that was selling. Anyway he and I would get the $$$$ up there and when I backed out of the bidding he would to. It was fun.
