Can't remember if I bid on those or not. But the auctioneer was leaving his page of proxy bids right out in the open on top of the table where everyone could see them. It included a photo of what the bid was on, the max bid offered, who and where was making the offer. So I guess it would have been possible to run someone up, but since I was there to buy, and not a seller, there would not have been much point in that.
I saw a bunch of them at the Calgary gun show last weekend, and they were at $70 each, so it sounds like you did OK.
