HSCA members

 
  Greetings to you. My name is Ed, and I have been a member of HSCA for about 30 years. It is time I give up the safe queens. These Hi-Standards are the best of the bunch from over 40 years of collecting. Most are unfired or 99.5%. I kept a few lesser quality shooters for practice and recreation. There are 12 total pieces covering the letter series, including a 99.5% Model "E" in the original box with a walnut interior that I got from Bill Bryant back in 1994. There are slant grip Trophy's and Olympics. There is a short barrel solid rib Victor in the box. These are all high grade pieces with nothing below the Olympic or Trophy grade in the slant grips. I am asking that you send out a blog communication to members so they all have a chance to acquire something special. These Hi-Standards have not seen the market in 30+ years. Kraft Auctioneers in Valparaiso Indiana is handling the sale on Sunday January 8th 2023 at 10AM. There will be bidding on Proxibid and HiBid. 
Lot numbers 337-349

  1. As I understand it, the "online buyer's premium" is 20%. The "onsite buyer's premium" in Valparaiso, IN is 10%. Additionally, there is a 3% service fee for credit cards and 7% Indiana sales tax.

  2. Ken, yes you have the terms mostly correct with one addition. There is no 3% charged for online purchases paid with a credit card. Phone and absentee bids are at 15% buyers premium + 3% for credit cards. Onsite is 10% buyer premium with 3% for credit cards. All purchases are subject to 7% Indiana Sales Tax. I hope this answer your question. I will check the blog at least once a day to answer any other questions the members may have about the auction or a particular gun.
