Interesting Luger on GunBroker

I love it when everyone is correct!

But this auction is still odd, "sold" items always have the "bid history", there is no bid history on this auction- maybe because there were no bids?

From one recent closed auction:

Current Bid
$1,820.00
Starting Bid
$1,495.00
No Reserve! 4 Bids Bid History
Time Left 15 min rule
Item has Ended
Ending Time

On Gun Broker an auction with the Buy-it-now option won't show any bids if the buy option is exercised before any bids are made.

This auction had the buy option, and (IIRC) was to run for 99 days. Minimum starting bid was so close to buy option price that the auction was effectively only a buy option auction.

Given the circumstances of the auction there were only two ways in which the auction could end early; buy option exercised or item withdrawn/auction cancelled. I was watching the auction and did not receive an item withdrawn/cancelled notification, as is usually done in either instance.

All of which leads me to the form an opinion that the gun sold at the buy option price.

Just my $0.02, offered FWIW.
