Bill, I agree with SKB and definitely agree with your second post. I live in Eastern New Mexico and any show of size is a 4+ hour drive. GB and other auction sites along with the Proxibid (in my case) access to large auction houses around the country opens up a whole world of accessibility to firearms I would never see, much less have the opportunity to buy. There have been a few times I was disappointed, and even burned once. But in all, if I temper my bids with a bit of "possible reality", I find I am quite happy with what I get. If it goes for more than my max, then I just hope the other bidder gets what he wanted.
We all know that a fair bore may or may not be reasonably accurate and for the most part, I won't be putting that many rounds through the majority of these. Having several to pick from allows me more freedom of choice in which gun I might use and I wouldn't have or be able to afford the "several" if I had to pay premium for all of them.
It would be nice if all aspects were addressed in descriptions but that will increase interest and therefore price. I have managed to acquire some nice additions at reasonable prices going off of a couple or solo picture and meager description.
