Hey Spider ~ Any word on how the Barlow's Gun Shop auction went? Did you attend?

    I didn't even know about it. When was it? I heard ATF picked up the rest of his guns.

    Auction was within the last 2 weeks at one of the local auction houses. Entire contents of the shop went up for auction, including firearms. I haven't gotten any feedback yet...

    OK, I'm pissed! I just found out the auction was Saturday but we didn't see or hear anything about it. John was a friend of mine and I would have liked to attend. My wife works near that auction house and said there was nothing out front about it. Damn. [:(!]

    I wasn't able to attend. He had a Weatherby Mark V that I was always interested in.

    His son was selling off a lot of his guns to his buddies just a few days before John died. I'm sure they got most of the good stuff.

    I tried to buy a couple of guns from John but his prices were way too high. I was in his kitchen talking to him about a couple of Winchesters he had but he wouldn't budge on his prices. Three days later, he was dead.

    I spoke to him several times about the Weatherby and a few other pieces that I was interested in. Yes, he wanted a premium for what he had. I was offering a fair price, but he wouldn't move on his asking price.
