I'm thinking about running up to Ohio to catch the gun auction sometime.  Don't know when I'll go up, but if I do would anyone be interested in supplying wishlists?

Yeah, mine is short and easy...

I wish I had some cash.

You should keep your, erm, "shortcomings" to yourself.

Delta, I don't know anything about the gun auctions in Ohio.  More info?  Is there like some big auction every few months?  Who hosts the auction?  What kind of guns?  Can you buy long guns in Ohio if you're a GA resident?

The auctions are held by Garner Auctioneers.  Most of my info I got from Campybob.  I called Larry at Garner, and he told me that the auctions are held once a month except for Feb.  Closest Commercial Apt is Canton Akron, and it is about 1 hr 45 min away.  The next auction is Jan 25 the day after the polar bear shoot.  Out of state can purchace fire arms there and they must be shipped to a local FFL per ATF regs.

Are there deals to be had at something like this, or is it all junk?  Any examples of the types of firearms sold?  What are the sources of the firearms auctioned off (e.g. confiscated weapons, estate type sales, etc.)?

I forget all the details from Campybob's encounter at the auction, but there are deals to be had there I think he picked up a sweede mauser for less than 150.  He also said some stuff gets way out of hand on price, mostly 1911's and M1's.  I didn't ask larry where they came from, but most look to be private sale with a few estates thrown in.  A few months back they ran through I think Milton Berel's estate collection, and he said that there were about 100 lugers up for sale.
