These auctions can be a tricky and costly deal. I've seen guns in some other auctions go for more than full retail. It don't make a lot of sense, but sometimes people get caught up in the bidding competition.
These auctions are also visited by gun buyers from Cabela's & Gander Mountain to name a few.
Good luck to anyone trying it.
