"Does anyone know if Michael specified that his guns sell in one auction? Seems to me prices would be better for his estate if they were spread out over several auctions."
I have often wondered about that myself, some collections-like the Stretch Kennedy one,must be spread out over several but with the Petrov one and others that size-and focused,there may be a case that bringing all the buyers to one auction might well create higher bids-you don't get lot 25 so you bid higher on lot 50 for instance.
Amoskeag has done a great job on the larger catalog and I think the 2 day-his first will work out well.
I have seen them have "feeding frenzy" buyers when a large collection of Savage 99's or others again focused ones have gone in one auction.Lets hope it does so for this one.
Not sure how we could prove it one way or the other but it is a good question.
Good luck with the deer hunting Tom,wind blew me out of the woods this morning,will rest up for the 2 days in my "auction stand" now and back at it next week.
