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.
