Somebody with a big beer belly might shoot himself in the foot.
Or some place worse. :roll:

My gut feeling says that type of weapon isn't very practical.

Kind of a neat gadget. Shows imagination, anyway.

I cannot help but be somewhat confused by the approach of starting the bidding at one cent when you have a reserve of over $425. Guess you have to start someplace, but why not simply post the reserve to begin with and eliminate all the diddling around?

It's not tacticool enough for today's use.

It needs a laser dot sight, a flashlight, a vertical foregrip and a Cerakote camo finish.
And that all important endorsement by a former Navy SEAL.

Do all that and it will fly off the store shelves.

Hmmm, this reminds me far too much of an ebay transaction I had to warn my hubby would likely be painful if discovered...

I think reserve auctions are geared towards suckers. You often see an auction which may have a several thousand dollar reserve, but the starting bid is "just one penny!"

It's a pretty common technique on all auction sites...the psychology behind it is that once other people see a lot of bids on an item they are more likely to place a bid, themselves. It works, too. I do it on my ebay auctions (though I usually don't have a reserve).

It's very hard to get someone to be the first person to place a $400 bid for something, for example, but many people will bid higher than that if they see that several other people are bidding on the auction.

Generally speaking I've got little use for Reserves, if I'm seriously interested in the gun. If I'm casually interested, I may bid and let others see how bad the reserve is and that generally chases others away.

I think a pocket knife would be more effetive..a dull one at that...
