Are there Auction fees or GST added to bid once the auction is won? I cannot seem to find this information on their website. Thanks.

Just passing retail price point this afternoon. Yep would be nice to know the buyers fee.

I would guess 15% if there is one?

No buyers fee. We are waiting for confirmation on sales tax. We'll report here as soon as we hear from the auction house.

I tossed in a bid. Don't mind paying but more if it is going to a good cause. Wish it was in .357 though

Why an auction and not a raffle?

 

[Korth Group Ltd]

We heard back from the auction house - no sales tax is applied to the sale of donated items for the purpose of raising funds for a non-profit. The winning bid for each rifle is what the winner will pay - no fees, taxes or freight.

Why an auction and not a raffle?

Two reasons: our goal is to raise as much funding as possible - generally, a raffle has a limited number of tickets. Secondly, a legal raffle is complicated, as the organization operating the raffle requires registration in each province where tickets are sold.

Only just scratches the surface even. Several companies offer "promotional giveaways" and while you may want to use the verbiage interchangeably, an actual raffle, such as the STARS lottery, Red Deer Hospital lottery, and Foothills Hospital Home Lottery, Calgary Flames 50/50, etc... you can only really get those licenses if it's a charity running it.

Thank you for what you're doing for the community!

More bidders the better.

Good to see.

I predict these new Ruger/Marlin 45-70's could sell on the EE for over $3500.00.

Used JM and Remington/Marlins have already sold for close to $3000.00.

An asking price for new in box Ruger/Marlin might see $4000.00.

I have never seen a lever action craze like this ever before.

People will be buying two, sell one to pay for the first.

$2500.00 for one of the first five guns in Canada could very well be the deal of the century!.......
