Auction House List|Upcoming Winchester Auctions|Forum|Winchester Collector

Hi Guys,

Here is a list of Auction Houses I’m aware of and would appreciate you guys adding to it. I think it would be a nice resource to have on the site. 

Major Auction Houses (Typically has the rarest of rare)

1. Rock Island

2. Poulin

3. Morphy

4. Richmond

Minor Auction Houses (Offers great items and occasionally you can find a gem)

1. Amoskeag

2. Krammer

3. LSB

4. Gunrunner

5. Gun auction USA

6. Gun Slinger – just sold the Marissa Wayne collection! Marissa Wayne is John Wayne’s youngest daughter and she auctioned off Colts and Winchesters that were 1 of 7’s made exclusively for John Wayne’s children after his passing. Not Rock Island big money but one of the Colts went for 30k I think. 

Auction Aggregators ( There are 100’s of small Auction Houses in the U.S. and Canada who don’t have their own platforms but use an Aggregators software and platform to sell online. The upside is each of these sites allows you to search and bid on 100’s of auctions. The downside is they typically add 3% to the purchase price for that convenience) it is important to note on these platforms to never use the max bid feature. The aggregators share your bid with these small houses and in my experience many have phantom bidders who swoop in and will bid you up to your max every time. You can watch that same screen name bid on multiple unrelated items and never win anything. This is possible to see on some platforms like Hibid that show bidder names but not others like Proxibid that just show the # of bids. 

1. Proxibid

2. HiBid

3. icollector 

4. Live Auctioneers

5. Auction Zip

6. Invaluable Auctions

Guys, help me fill in the blanks of what I’m missing. Thanks, Buck
