Just a word about auctions..some people get so far into 'winning' and competing that they actually pay more than they really wanted to spend. I think that the person auctioning off anything usually comes out ahead. If I set a $200 reserve on a holster it is because I expect to get that much. If two guys start a bidding war the only thing I can do is get more than I expected to get. I have personally gone over what I originally set as top dollar, but, collectors are often not rational.
