Main Topic: Firearms Auctions with Rock Island Auction Company
Most people think of buying firearms as a simple go to the gun shop and pick out what I want from the case. But what if you want a firearm that is rare, collectable & valuable and not really available anywhere else? That is where the auction house can come in.
- How did RIAC get started?
- What makes the auction process different from most other transactions?
- What special considerations are there when auctioning off firearms as opposed to other goods like artwork?
- Do you find that auctions tend to attract the high end collectors as opposed to everyday people just looking for a older firearm? (My neighbor attends auctions to purchase older, typically more beat up S&W revolvers at a decent price. They are “shooters”)
- What obstacles can someone encounter if they are looking to purchase a firearm through an auction?
- One thing you will find at auctions is typically more collectible firearms. What is the most common way for RIAC to acquire such firearms? Individual pieces or entire collections?
- I know RIAC has been known recently for selling in “batches” of guns, meaning that you may have three guns that are auctioned as a group. Do you find this attracts more bidders or do single guns tend to attract more interest?
- What are some of the coolest/most rare/expensive firearms you’ve seen come through RIAC in recent years?
- There is a September auction coming up. What are some cool or interesting lots that will be up on the block there?
