This weekend I attended an auction not far from where I live. The sale bill had a benchrest listed along with some fishing gear. Couldn't figure out what the bench fest was, so I went to take a look. While looking over the stuff, I saw a lot of ammo and some other stiff I was interested in. Stuck around to see the stuff sell. Picked up a box full of various sized shot shotgun shells, mostly the stuff that didn't sell in the choice lots that the auctioneer broke the ammo up into/ Got the leftovers for about $30. Then she moved on to some other things. After a while she came to a box that had 2 Lee shotgun loaders in it. One was a 20 gauge in the sealed box and the other was a 16 that was all there except maybe the storage box that holds the powder and shot bushings. The bushings were all there and about 2/3 of a bag of shot and most of a bag of wads. Anyway I won the bid on that for $5. BTW I got the portable benchrest for $40 too. It had never been set up. All in all scored good this weekend.

Sounds like a good time at the auction. I've not been brave enough to go shopping myself, I usually get caught up in the bidding wars and would've done better staying home.

When I go to an auction there is always 10 others interested in what I'm looking at, not a good combination for an auction and good deals LOL. Better is 1 or 2 interested only. I go to auctions when I can and sometimes get deals. Same with gun shows. Sounds like you did good though.

It sounds like you had a good weekend! I usually don't do so good at auctions but I have gotten some good deals at gun shows.

Yes it did work, good deal on those load-all's and 1/2 bag of shot and wads alone is enough to pretty much cover your expense.
