  Holy Guacamole Compadre 

  Several Lustrum ago, at a gun show, in a land far far away, I thought it some RIDICULOUS when I ran across an original box of .44 Henry Flat for just short of Seven Hundred Dollars.  I near choked.  Now, the Box and the Cartridges were in really good shape but I just couldn't get around the Seven Hundred Buck price for 50 rounds.  Especially since I had access to an Original 1866 and I really wanted to shoot it 

I do however, think someone bidding $29.99 is an insult but a current bid of near Seven Grand  is some Obscene in my book.

Why merely $136.50 a round !

"some people's children" 

[Coffinmaker]

Well yea.  Broken down to a "per round" cost, it does seem much much more reasonable.  Kinda like the cost to buy a House.  Look at the total price and yule choke.  Have to look at the monthly payments to make it palatable.  YIKES!!  What am I saying!!

Major 2, just curious to know what auction this box was in?

[Buck Stinson]

Does anyone happen to know what auction this box was in?

not to mention the 20 bucks shipping, I wonder if there was a Hazmat charge ?

[Coal Creek Griff]

I was thinking about you, Buck, when I saw this. Do I remember that you used to shoot an original 1866 with original ammo in your youth?

Yes I  did.  You have to keep in mind, back in the mid-60's .44 Henry rimfire ammo was around 25 cents each.  Every gun show had a handful of loose rounds.  I have three full boxes of Henry/1866 ammunition and one still has an old price on it of $1.50.

Looks like you have hit the lottery

Don't be surprised if it shows up again.... Selling and collecting your money is two different things.

Wow at a 136.50 a round i couldn't even afford 1 round!
