When I travel to FL about once or twice per month I go to a Wednesday night auction in 301 near Zephyrhills.

At about 7:00 pm they start auctioning off firearms. Since I am not an FL resident I am not even permitted to touch the modern weapons. I bid only on the antiques and BP stuff. But when I was there three weeks ago they had 5 .303 British in original configuration. Most were substantially complete. One was missing the bolt. None of these rifles brought more than $90.00. The one with the missing bolt went for 65.00. The tears were rolling down my cheeks.

I say this just to make you FL guys aware.
