Now here was a guy with a collection. 325 firearms on the auction block

[IronMonster]

I was born and raised there, all my family still lives there. There is not money there like there is here. People get by on less. You can still buy a house there that is liveable for under $50,000. Not to say there are not some folks who are well off, but as a whole its nothing like Seattle where your average guy brings in $50-$60K a year.

Exactly,but the few with the money will be at the auction.
I just went thru there and plenty of folk looking like they gots money(big debt?)

 

[mrblond]

The auction house may also do online bidding.

 

[IronMonster]

I see a pile of SKS's that are listed as 7.62 x 31 I bet the guy who buys those will have a hell of a time finding ammo for them


(sarcasm alert)

 

[jrprich]

A VERY impressive collection!

 

[jbett98]

Better selection then Dicks Sporting Goods.

 

[Stomper]

With a name like "Dick's", you'd think they'd endevour to be better.

Wish I had an extra stack of cash and an Idaho ID, I'd be part of the crowd!

Yup, it isn't like Seattle;
-A lot, if not most, of those $50k houses are paid for.
-A lot of the income goes unreported, (barter).
-A good truck doesn't need "shiny", GPS or leather seats to impress folks.
-A BMW or Mercedes doesn't accept snowplow attachments.
-A condo association would take a dim view of dressing a deer in the lobby.
-A lot of guns can be bought with $thousands un-spent annually on lattes, sushi, parking, gas wasted in traffic, sky-high property taxes on over valued homes, gym memberships,
-All their kids own guns or have at least used one.
-All those "will work for food" street corner jackwagons don't go anywhere near there...they're afraid someone will expect them to actually work for food.
-All of them will still be able to loan a gun to a neighbor without committing a felony ... regardless of the next elections results.
-None of them say "I'm from "rural area" we want wind farms in Bellevue and to re-establish wolves to Seaward Park. "


Plus not having to deal with crowds of Hipsters, PETA creeps and Vegan sandal flappers is worth at least another $50k a year.
