It was a one time thing for me too.
The Beretta was the first item offered of about 75 firearms. The guy I went with (who had a FFL) scored the Beretta. Most bidders were holding back for something to come later. The Maadi was the very last item, most of the crowd was gone by then, and the auctioneer said it was a SKS (prior 3 items actually were a SKS). There were 3 Glocks in the auction. I went there hoping to get one of those. When the bidding got close to dealer's cost on each, I dropped out, as my buddy could get me new in box for same amount. All 3 went for MSRP or above. This was about 10 years ago. Just before the Sandy Hook ammo panic, and things were "stable" enough politically that everything was priced "normal" on the street, and plentiful.
