SPECIAL NOTES

Auction Procedures:

          1. The auction is divided into three (3) sections, each having an ending time. The purpose of this is to give the bidder time to assess his/her bids after each section and reallocate resources where necessary. An example of this might be as follows: a bid on a NATO round in the first section is not high enough to beat the current high of someone else so those dollars could be reassigned to a rimfire in the second section or to a shotshell in section three.

 

Section   I: Early & Transitional and Military, pages 4 to 33

                Bidding ends at 7:00 pm (ET) on 6 December; no further bids on these lots are permitted.

 

Section  II: Pistol & Revolver and Rimfire, pages 32 to 57

                 Bidding ends at 9:00 pm (ET) on 6 December; no further bids on these lots are permitted.

 

Section III: Rifle, Related Materials, and Shotshells, pages 56 to 99. Bidding ends at 11:00 pm (ET) on 6 December and the auction then ends.
