You just kind of get the impression the auction houses are gouging Americans all the way along the process.
That’s why if you set up ahead of time it feels somewhat less punitive.

I imported some guns through BSA, and as I recall, Charles had loads of guns coming in every week from the auction houses. It didn’t seem like it took very long at all, but I may be misremembering.

It would be worth giving him a ring to see if he had a slot on an incoming load.

Out there doing it best I can.
