I will place a few bids in the sealed bid as well. Today I had my eye on a very well used bpe single shot rifle and I placed what I felt was a quite aggressive offer and promptly out bid by
nearly 30% to a single floor bidder. I am not sure if that was just an anomaly or something else going on. A search of past history at Holt's showing similar rifles selling for well under my bid. Odd but auctions often are.

Three items stuck out of that lot- the Horsley hammer single, a Holland No 3 non ejector, and the Rosson sliding lever.

I looked over Holt's offerings in today's auction, but decided to keep my powder dry for Morphy's, who just released their upcoming catalog containing several nice British doubles on my "Wanted" list!

Has anyone on here bought ammunition and imported from the UK?
There is a lot of ammunition in the current auction that I am interested in, but I'd like to sort out the actual cost and hassle of buying before making a bid.

Woodreaux,
Holts will not ship live ammo. Look under the bidding tab:
For firearms export outside the UK please contact HGSS admin@HGSS-global.co.uk
Please be aware that we are unable to ship any live ammunition.
Sundry Lots that do not require a licence (i.e. not guns or ammunition) will be shipped by Holts upon shipping request at payment.

I think you can still get the ammo shipped but it must be picked up by an licensed agent there and imported to the US. Maybe SKB knows. Sometimes these type of auctions may be your only source for obsolete ammo. But shipping is going to make it expensive.

KY Jon is indeed correct. I can get ammo here but it would be VERY costly.

Did anybody win on the sealed bids auction today? I must have missed on all three items. Cant find out yet by how much. Two which needed to be sleeved, one of which also needed a new stock and a third which needed a stock but did not need to be sleeved. So everyone of those guns would have cost me thousands more after the auction. All of my bids were in the almost stupid range but it seems there are other more stupid people than myself. Do not know if I should be glad or sad. Im running out of time to start projects these days. Still Id love to have any one of the three I bid on.
