Auction house usually is not a place to find great deal. But many collectors sell their lifetime collections via auction houses, so auctioneers do carry many nice items in each session. Some rare items seldom showing up in other places. Just like David previously mentioned, you won't find double rifles in GB. It's important for auctioneer to attract collector sellers. Have nice things to sell is very important for them.
