I’m pretty sure these two aren’t going to make starting bid. 🤷🏼♂️

Bingo! The opening bid on each of these is easily FIVE TIMES what they are actually worth. Brown guns don’t sell well anymore.
A GOOD auction is one where everything opens at $100 with no reserve and let the dust settle where it may, high or low.
The 1885 also lacks any sights to make even somewhat more attractive and it’s a low wall.

I have bought from them before. Just off their website, not this auction but have to your point found over the last year they have stuff listed at just ridiculous prices. I don’t mean a premium, I mean like 2 or 3 times what you can find the same item selling for on GB or GI. Weirdly they list a lot of their guns on GI as well so they will be in the middle of 3 of the same items where the 1st is $2,000 they are $5,000 and then the next is $2,000. I’m talking similar condition and all. I believe their sellers are all brick and mortar FFL’s but it seems you would check the market before posting and hurting your credibility like that. Conversely it hurts Guns.com’s reputation because I stopped looking there as a result. It’s a shame because they do provide superior customer service vs GB and GI by a mile.

I do not understand why any business would (by default) refuse to do business with anyone located in (11) states.
“This item cannot ship to: AK, CA, CT, HI, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NY, VT, WA“
Based on the current census data, the total population that is excluded by Guns.com’s stated (inane) business policy is;
AK – 738,003
CA – 39,345,844
CT – 3,702,543
HI – 1,430,688
IL – 12,735,249
MA – 7,169,608
MD – 6,285,380
NJ – 9,590,076
NY – 20,003,435
VT – 642,805
WA – 8,074,082
Total excluded = 109,716,683 or in different terms, 31.63% of the entire U.S. Population!
