Imagine what it would have been like if serious new gun restriction were proposed and no one cared to buy bullets and gun sales were stable or even lower. The fact that the citizens of the US are paying attention and voting with their wallets is a GREAT thing. I hope demand keeps going up and up until the government at all levels are shivering with fright. <br /><br />Buy what you can, when you can... to supply your neighbors someday.<br />D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05808916842759176493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-77342125264231118882013-04-02T18:35:49.327-05:002013-04-02T18:35:49.327-05:00@ Uclemikes: Yes, Gunbroker does extend the aucti...@ Uclemikes: Yes, Gunbroker does extend the auction out 15 min. after each new bid. That's how you can spot the newbies. Old hands know to put their bid in at the 14 min. mark but the ebay transplants all think that they can get over by waiting until there's five seconds left. This is extra annoying, because it's always been the norm on Gunbroker to expect to win the item if you are high bid no one else has bid by the last few minutes or so.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-22163569474962823962013-04-02T17:53:34.159-05:002013-04-02T17:53:34.159-05:00Doesn't Gunbroker extend the auction by 15 min...Doesn't Gunbroker extend the auction by 15 minutes each time a bid is entered within the last 15 minutes? Still requires logging in close to the end of the auction JIC but IMO not as annoying as snipers on Ebay can be. <br><br>Your other point about GB being over-run with speculators of late is spot on.unclemikes1897https://www.blogger.com/profile/07889504891178173170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-65438667839789567812013-04-02T13:29:04.747-05:002013-04-02T13:29:04.747-05:00The worst part about sniping is the automatic prog...The worst part about sniping is the automatic programs that do it.<br /><br />I've been outbid in the last two seconds, and it stings when somebody's program beats you out by a few dollars, or in your case, by an obscene amount.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.com
