I went to a police auction of seized items up in Jay, OK many years ago. They started by selling furniture and other odds and ends. Everything went low.

There was a table of seized guns. Some were good some were real junk.

Suddenly around 1:00 PM it was like an electric charge went through the crowd and they surged forward! THEY WERE SELLING THE GUNS!

People bid and bid. Junk went for high dollar. Guns in good shape went for almost new prices! I could not believe it. There were NO bargains there.

Several years later a local pawn shop owner went to another pawn shop auction over in Huntsville, Ark. He hoped to pick up some bargains.
He came back empty handed and told me he wishes he had loaded up all of his guns and took them to the auction. He said people simply lost control and were paying almost new prices for used guns there.
