Some horns and a flint 19th cent. Lehigh pistol scheduled for July 30 auction at pookandpook.com!

I am very skeptical of that pistol. The lock plate is from a kit that Dixie Gun Works sold in the 70s and the cock and frizzen spring is wrong. Beware.

Also, Pook & Pook does not have in house shipping. You have to call an outside shipping source and it costs a lot! I know, I won an auction with them. It's a real pain and costs way too much.

I recently called them and asked if they had an in-house shipping department yet. They said no and I told them that I will never bid on any of their auctions until they do.

Yeah, I always like in house shipping.. always kind of stressful getting hold of a shipping company and have them go pick it up. I did that several times, but not real comfortable with it. Probably will do it again if there is something I can't live without.

How much is unreasonable and preposterous, and from where to where?
Just curious.

a single handgun, shipped via fedex or ups [ they gave me the choice] from Pennsylvania to anchorage Alaska ...they initially wanted about 230$ then eventually did it for not quite 100$ less. the exact fedex cost for 'overnight' which is about 2 days really ] was 52.00$ I called and check with fedex.
never again. !
in fact, if they had an FFL sending it, it could have come USPS for approximately 35.00$

Thanks! Agreed, that's ridiculous! :o

Kudos to Chris Hirsch for his comments to Pook & Pook. Seems to me that any outfit who dabbles in selling many, many objects, such as Pook & Pook, would have easily arranged shipping. I cannot imagine the difficulties that Chris - and others living in Europe and elsewhere - has with international shipping.

I often thought about participating in European auctions, they have some real neat old guns at reasonable prices. Feared the shipping issues. I did buy an optic from a company in Slovenia a few months back. From time I placed order until it was sitting on my porch was 64 hours. That was insane fast IMO.
