No surprise, didn't win anything.. but I didn't want to spend too much since I just got a new truck, tonneau cover and other things..
Glock 19 went for $375, Glock 22 (.40 cal) went for $350, SIG P365 went for $475, H&K P2000 in .40 cal went for $500 - I was surprised, figured I might be able to get a good price on a .40 pistol - was secretly hoping I wouldn't win because then I'd need to stock more calibers...
All prices above are not including the 13% buyer's premium - still seemed a good price on the G19, my max bid on that $350 so I was close.
Some other ones I didn't bid on and their final prices (before premium) -

I don't know, either I'm just plain old and remember the "good ole days" or ammo and reloading stuff was HIGH! I'm sitting on a freakin fortune!

If you bid, remember there is a 13% buyers fee plus 8% tax on top of your bid.

That’s crazy. That’s more than I paid for my new 365.

Well, shit...
Went from zero Glocks to two in one month... (well to be fair I won't see the 'free' one for 6+ months)
EDIT: It's cut off in this screenshot but I also bid on this Ruger KP89X - thought the .30 Luger conversion would be interesting (but yet another caliber to keep...). Kind of the same thought with the .40 cal pistols.. if I could get them cheap enough it'd be worth it.

Picked up the Glock 17 yesterday - I think it's a Gen 2 (based on quick Interweb search), came with a silly box and manual dated 1991 -
Man the grip is slick - but then I am used to my M&P 2.0s and laser-stippled 365XL frame. The above pic was before I cleaned/lubed it - I was worried with it being an earlier gen that the Magpul 10 rounders I picked up wouldn't work, but it seats and releases properly. Small amount of holster wear on the slide, hard to catch in the light but you see a little below the '17' above. Sights are 'okay'.
Didn't expect to win it so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it besides add it to the collection..

What's up with the trigger guard on this Glock? Lot 93. Somebody messed it up severely, yet no mention of that in the description. That's a pretty big omission.

I was the winning bid on an HK USP Compact and SIG P239 until last night - kind of glad I didn't win as they were both .40 cal and I don't have ANY of that caliber. Would have been neat to have though. Prices are nuts - again I think people forget about the 13% buyer's premium, THEN sales tax on top of that. I bid on the M1 Carbines (bidding hasn't closed yet, price is $500 so far on one and $975 on the other) - really didn't want to mess with a semi-auto permit (even though I have a pistol permit).

Nothing looks like a deal on the current auction. I was looking at the Damascus knives. Ebay has better prices.

Another month another sportsman auction -
hessney.hibid.com
Let's see if I can get any deals...
Also shout-out to Hessney - when I picked up my G17 in November, they had to keep the standard capacity mag. Told them to dispose of or donate it to LEO or something.
Well in late December I received a check from them for $24 after it sold - pretty cool!

Those are just the ones I bid on, here's the rest from today - 01/28/23 January Sportsman Auction
Like I've said before I think it'll be a while before I find a good deal again. Wasn't looking for anything in particular, but if I can get something cheap...

I looked back in my records and it turns out I got a NIB HK-93 from Hessney in 2014 for $1800, that was a pretty good deal.

I bid on a few things just to watch, tried for the P320 XCompact even though it was in .40 cal - with serialized FCU would have been simple to convert. That sold for $625. Thunder Ranch lower caught my attention, ended up going for $150 which isn't too bad (my last high was $100). Can't believe the M1 Garand went for $1900 WOW. Maybe it was all serial # matching?
Tried for the ACOG, it's going still as of this post.

Another auction today, should have posted link sooner for anyone interested:
hessney.hibid.com
I had a (small) bid in on the Gold Desert Eagle before they changed description to "Not NYS Compliant".. can't believe it sold for $2250 (plus add 13% buyer's premium).
I came close to winning the HK VP40 - which would have been awkward because I don't have any .40 cal ammo. Wasn't really bidding on any seriously, I more follow to get an idea of current markets.

I've calmed down on my gun spending quit a bit. Even though I reload everything (except 22LR), it's just expensive.
Last month I dumped down $300 for air gun ammo.
Just remember there's 13% Buyers Premium, and 8% sales Tax, then their Transfer Fees, or if you have the item Shipped...yea, it can add up fast!
I put in a lot of bids ahead of time...didn't win anything....crazy, just crazy.

Another auction yesterday that I put a few bids on - Hibid
I would have liked that M&P 2.0 in .45 ACP (all of my M&Ps are 9mm), and the Ruger SR1911 in 9mm (I have Ruger SR1911s in .45 ACP and 10mm and wanted the trifecta.. eventually). The Ruger's final bid was $725, and the M&P was $350... again this is before 13% buyer's premium and tax... yeesh. (for comparison, my SR1911 in 10mm was won through one of these auctions for $575)
Another one I was watching but didn't bid on was a Coonan Classic 1911 in .357 Mag - final price of $2250. Wowsers.

i dont agree with that .. for one ; tax was already collected on the item from the original buyer ..
you don't charge sales tax at yard sales ..
13% buyers .. nope seller can set a reserve and cover it ..
when i raise my number on 25.50 going goin gone .. that's all I'm agreeing to pay ....

I'm with you on the taxes, shouldn't be taxing 2A-related stuff as it is.
The 13% buyer's premium is paid to the auction seller, this is common in auctions and I've seen as high as 15%. There is also a consignment fee for the seller - it's not listed on the website so I don't know what it is.
I picked up a winning pistol a couple of years ago that came with a standard capacity magazine (17 rounds) - I let them keep it as I obviously couldn't take it. Little over a month later I received a check in the mail for around $25 - I think it sold at a later auction for $30 IIRC? That was cool of them, didn't expect it.

I did a quick review of the closed auctions. It's all over the board with great buys to zero savings on new and used. The sks prices standed out to me as cheap in todays market, $350ish. Some of the new auto pistols sold at good prices as well.
I need to play next time around.

Seemed to be typical auction prices. Some great deals but typical.
