Not to take anything away from the club auction but would a well advertised regular auction bring more money for her? I honesly think that this is something a true gun collector couldn't live without. Or maybe she would be willing to pay a little to put a local ad in the paper when it is time for the club auction. I believe anyone can go to the auction as long as they become a member for the day. Might help chip sales if we got some locals to attend.
