Okay...I have settled down.

These Rock Island postings reminded me about a concern I have come away from when visiting two previous auction preview-days in the past 6 months.

No need to name names...but I imagine this risk it there with most :

Earlier this year in SF and just recently at the Las Vegas gun show, I saw many "consignment" rifles and pistols crowded together (too closely) on tables for preview showings. As careful as you would hope most folks are, I cringed everytime I heard metal-to-metal and metal-to-wood contact when viewers were picking up guns and placing them back on the tables.

Just wondered how the guns' owners would feel if their guns came back from the auction, unsold, but with a bit more wear & tear...

Okay, I am stepping off my <img border="0" alt="[soapbox]" title="" src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" />
