Not really, the good ones under $5k went above the high estimate.

I thought the auction was down a little bit in terms of English gun quality particularly with respect to double rifles. I Successfully avoided an Impulse purchase by not watching the live bidding. How was the energy in the room?

Bid on the phone, pay by check, the buyers premium is 20%.

Same for bidding online at Morphy's site. I used this interface for the auction and liked it. You see the items auctioned in real time and need only click a button to place a bid. I think it's less nerve-wracking than telephone bidding. JMHO Curl

The Parker GH 410 went for about 13K, all in. If I had known that, I would have bid. Probably just as well that I did not know. It is a buyer's market, but then you have some stuff going way high so you just don't ever know

As time goes by I am getting less and less interested in auctions. Private sales, where the potential buyer and seller can communicate, unfettered by the time constraints, are more and more attractive to me.
