I scored at an estate auction!

It wasn’t with the widow you sickos.

I picked up a giraud power trimmer for $125, looks brand new.

Tested, and it works great. Now I just have to figure out what cartridge it’s cutter is for, it’s definitely not .223 or .308, 30 cal brass is too big, and .223 too narrow.

When I figure out this “wildcat” I’ll probably sell the shell holder while I wait for a few of my go to calibers to arrive from Giraud.

It’s a shock since I saw insane prices on stuff at the sale. Sub $500 rifles selling for $1400, a $900 hornady LnL AP, primers for $150+ per thousand. I think my saving grace was very few knew what the things I bid on were. I saw rough and well used manual trimmers sell for $120.

Sweet! I paid full price for mine.

I was planning on getting one pretty soon, so i’m ecstatic. I was surprised to see it there to be honest. There were a few nice items I think most of the buyers were collectors of military rifles.

I thought this thread was about sex at an estate auction.

Some of the other folks here have figured out why other items were getting gaveled down at multiples of their actual value.

Don't feel bad. That happens to me from time to time. I figure out later what was really going on.
