I am new and attended my first auction a few days ago. I missed out on a couple $20 units because it sold so fast. I learned. My question tho is what is the law concerning firearms in the units? The auctioneer said that if he "sees it" he confiscates it and takes it to the police and whoever bought the unit loses out.
On the auction hunters show that I just watched this very thing happened and the auctioneer did in fact confiscate it, but he informed everyone (before bidding) that the winning bidder could go with him when he turns it in to a gun dealer and could keep the gun if it passed the gun check....and paying the fees for the check. That makes more sense to me. I don't know why they would even be responsible tho. It seems that the winning bidder would be responsible for doing all that.
The auctioneer where I went also said that the original owner could also reclaim it at the police station. Now that makes no sense to me at all. If that was the case, why couldn't the original owner reclaim anything and everything from the locker?
Your help is appreciated.
