Friend of mine huge and expensive spoon collection went to Carol Watson's auction in OC. Some went expensive and some went cheap.
For instance he had a Steven Dodd Hughes custom1877 Sharps Long Range built for 30k that was absolutely flawless (pictures of it have been published). It sold for 12k. A Homer Dangler custom flint Pennsylvania rifle that would cost 6k or better to build for 1800. Or a Ed Brown Marine Corp tactical 308 rifle with a $2500 Unertl Marine corp scope for 2300. But then again his 3 inch Python went for 12k.
