Re: Ruger Auctioned Speed Six
Seems like there were three serious bidders in the end.
As to the price look at what the money is used for. Sometimes the Cause trumps the Cost!

Re: Ruger Auctioned Speed Six
Ron & Terry,
Crazy number$$$$$
What I have seen with the on line auctions, and I am guilty myself, it's been so FREAKIN' LONG
since the last gun show I was allowed to attend, we ( ME!) will pay more to feed our addictions
I been looking around the vault to see what I might want to sell to capitalize on this....
Watertender's marbles is pretty much all I am willing to sell !!!
Cheers,
JAY

Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
Re: Ruger Auctioned Speed Six
Terry, I understand that and since we don't know the back story/stories we can't really speculate on why it went the way it did. It is nice that Ruger puts these up for auction and donates the money to really good causes.T.A. Workman wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 4:19 pm Seems like there were three serious bidders in the end.

I'm not a tax expert but I think that if the cause is a charitable institution then the money in excess of the value of the item being bought can be deducted from your taxes to the extent the IRS allows so it like a 2 for 1 deal.

Re: Ruger Auctioned Speed Six
I've seen a couple from that auction go that high too. Maybe the buyers consider it a contribution with a nice revolver as a bonus.T.A. Workman wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 4:19 pm Seems like there were three serious bidders in the end.
