Auction Gambling - 1903 C-Stock?
All,
I buy and resell from auctions and sometimes take some gambles. This is especially true when it comes to online auctions that are frequently quite light on details.
I'm a collector too, of course, and have scored some shameful deals for my own collection by perusing these online auctions. I hope this series will help illustrate that deals are still out there! This is not an advertisement -- just meant to be a fun little follow along.
So, he's the skinny:

Those are the only pictures I had to go on. Looks to me like that might be a C-stock but I can't see clearly the shape or if it's not cut down (gamble number 1 and 2). I can't see the muzzle of the barrel either (gamble number 3). It might come with more parts than shown in the pictures since the description wasn't exactly clear (gamble number 4).
Now here's the fun part, my bid plus buyers premium came to only $115.50. With the parts we can see, I'll almost certainly come out even. If my gambles fall the way I hope, I could make a couple hundred (and have a nice 1903 receiver for a paperweight).
I'll know my shipping costs early next week and maybe have the parts in my hands by the end of next week.
Stay tuned!!
