I picked up a very, very nice 1898 Krag rifle from a past Cowan's auction that almost looks un-issued!

Due to the time difference, I had to wake up early to join the bidding for that particular auction.

Forgetting to set my alarm clock I awoke with just seconds left on a tracked lot!

I rushed to the computer to participate in the bidding, and in my groggy hast, entered a bid far higher than I really wanted!!!

IMHO: I ended up with a really nice rifle, at an OK price.

However, the "Buyer's Premium" and "Shipping Cost" really turned my OK deal into a deal best explained by my wife's reaction to my wonderful new baby... "You paid how much!!!"

Live and learn. :-/

Although, I must admit, the packaging was superb.
