    "Live" Gun Auction in Minnesota

    I am hoping to get enough cash together to buy a different house. So I have decided to sell the major portion of my gun collection. Let me tell you, which few to keep were some tough decisions.

    Any of you near Minneapolis, MN (New Germany is about 35 miles west of there), I hope you can come on out.

    It's Thursday evening (5pm), April 2.

    Kudos for having the strength to part with them, I hope I never have too.
    We have been having several one owner gun collection auctions around here lately and I think you will be pleasantly suprised at the prices they will bring.
    You need to promote the heck out of the auction, Facebook will catch it like wildfire.
    Good luck on your sale.

    I spent this morning passing out Auction flyers at the Minnesota Fairgrounds "Coliseum" gunshow...this is a BIG one. I met lots of people I know by face, but not by name...and had many great conversations...and I met a couple boolit casters as well ...and I can honestly say, I had a blast doing it.

    A couple days ago, I wasn't even thinking of doing something like that, but yesterday, I did the same thing at a Local "smelt fry" lunch/dinner at the Darwin, MN Rod and Gun club...again, I met many folks I only know by face and had many great conversations.

    I am thinking, there could be quite a few friends at this auction.
