Very Nice 1921 at Morphy Auctions


Recommended Posts

There are more Colt guns on the market now than there has been in a long time. Lot of nice ones too. I wonder what the market will bear as there arent that many people ready to drop $35k-$45k on one (and have the money to do so) this is a buyers market

Sadly for me it is a buyer's market. I am selling a couple guns right now... But overall this might bring new folks into the game, and everyone knows it is tough to get just one Thompson! The Colt shooter guns are now hitting below 30K. https://www.proxibid.com/Firearms-Military-Artifacts/Firearms/COLT-MODEL-1921-THOMPSON-SMG/lotInformation/50338075

My people are loading the SAR pallets up now, while we have some time.

We can deliver product to the show, if you want to call my CS people and make a purchase.

Those GSG MP40 magazines are very popular, ATI must be selling a lot of those guns.

I have bought an MG at auction once (COWANS) from the Dick Wray collection.

I really do better buying direct, but that is just me.

This may be a dumb question but do the sellers have to pay a percentage of the hammer price to the Auction Company?

 

edit: I should have worded my question, does the seller have a percentage deducted by the Auction Company on the hammer price as a listing fee or some other terminology.

Yes, in many cases. It's called a seller's premium.

 

II had to pay RIA when they sold my antique Mauser "Zig-Zag" revolver for me.

 

The auction houses make money on both sides of the deal.

It is what helps pay for the colour catalog/books they publish and all that other overhead.

For real exceptional items with a strong demand... negotiable.

 

 

Have not been able to duck under their buyers fees.

"Final prices include buyers premium: $57,000.00"

.

Not stellar but OK for the condition.

Good to see that nice guns are still pulling the big numbers.

Very rare guns that are expected to fetch exceptionally high prices may sometimes be sold at auction with no seller's premium.

John Keene offered me such a deal at last year's SAR show in Phoenix.

I wasnt participating in the auction but would have bought that gun all day every day.
