See your PM.

Re What about internal competition?
Their isn't any - we all collect different things and if one person collects
XYZ Maker, then the unwritten rule is that you stay away from that maker.

I'll give you another example - the same applies at Auctions where you know everyone
else - or at least most people who may be in the room.
We all ask around and say you really want Item ABC and would they mind not bidding.
Unless you really want it, your sometimes better backing off.

"I don't recall the 450/400 you mentioned in regard to SafariTom"
It wasSAFARIKID, apologise. It was mentioned with an Army Navy 577.

Check out Champlins now - they have an Alex Martin for $28500 and have updated
the complete list. Interesting reading.

Re the other guns "still around", yes, overpriced guns do tend to hang around
and all the ones in that category IMHO tend to be in that category.

Good luck at the Vintagers next week.
