Milsurps going to auction

M&M is a serious auction house. Most (many?) of their sales are art and antique related. They do have a firearms knowledgeable person on staff, and this really helps with descriptions and photography.
There are quite a number of auction houses in Canada which specialize in firearms sales. And then take a look at the auctions the major US houses run.

They are definitely professionals and put in the time and effort to make the sale. It's not their fault. The government took everybody's money.
I got the LSA lee Enfield target sight. It was mis-labeled as a pattern 1914 sight. Only $175.00 plus taxes etc.
A super rare sight for the long lee. Last one I seen sold for $400.00 US several years ago.

Never heard of that auction house, I can see why the prices were so suppressed. Lots of great items listed though, a few I would have bid on had I known of it’s existence. Congrats to the winners though.
Personally I decided not to participate, partially due to the 18% "buyers premium" but even more so to their apparent attitude about shipping. If I don't sense that a company is enthusiastic about selling to me I don't give them my business. Their online format was good but I'm pretty sure several of the items would have drawn bigger bids at a more well-known auction house. The No.4 T that sold at $6,000 was one example. That's a real bargain today.

Not sure what you mean about 'their apparent attitude about shipping'?
Apparently there were reserve prices set. The 4T and a number of other guns didn't sell. Now those do seriously annoy me - a more popular auction wouldn't need that.
