You don't have detailed descriptions so take your Blue Book with you. If that Winnie is post-1964, I wouldn't pay more than $150 for it if it's just a standard carbine. 0 -
Is it strictly a firearms auction or is there other stuff, too? Who did the grading? Be sure to invest in or borrow a bore light. Sometimes the outside looks good, because that is pretty easy to dress up, but the barrel can be crap. Look at the screws. Check the sights. Start at the muzzle and slowly scan the length of the gun back to the butt plate. Do your research before you get there, but have your guide book handy outside in the car. Ask the auctioneer if the guns are from an estate sale or if they are private consignments. Maybe a dealer is trying to unload his junk. Have a set price in your mind that is the maximum you are going to bid and keep to it. All of these guns are common and you will have other opportunities. Think of it as a learning experience and have fun. 0 -

The model 1200 no more than 150.00, Walmart price is 229.95 NIB.
I wouldnt go over 600.00 for the bunch..[;)]0 -
150.00-175.00 each, maybe 200.00 if there is one that really strikes you. While I agree w/ 6-700 being the most to pay for the lot, I would bet that they will each go over 200.00 and the Winchester probably over 300.00, at least at the auctions I have been to around here.
Make sure you come back and let us know how they did.0
