You even get a set of the, to me anyway and my favorite, VZ Grips that look like wood on the pistol.
Very classy setup. Great price! Congratulations!

Yeah I have VZ Grips on my other 3.

IIRC, this is below what Retail was for a Stealth back in the day.
I’m HAPPY!

The other bidder looks like a shill working for the seller to me.
He made four bids after you and ended on $1011.00. He saw your bid was at $1027.01 so he knew that was your max.
If he really wanted to buy the gun he would have upped your bid by $25.00 to get it.
You did not get a bad deal, but $900.00 would have been a better deal.

One of the former forum members admitted to bidding up auctions to keep the resale values up. He ended up having to buy a few.
I don’t think the buyer can see your max bid, just the highest you’ve bid up to. $1027 for a like new Stealth sounds about right.

If Pursuit's max bid was higher it would have gone to $25.00 more than his bid or $1036.00. $25.00 is the minimum raise. Since he knew that it only went to $1027.01, that was Pursuit's max.
Maybe he did not want to bid the $1052.01 which was the minimum next bid.

I am certainly not saying that the buyer got a bad deal, the bidding just looks fishy to me.
It happens all the time. I bought a Smith PC 40 from Lewis Family Firearms one time. I researched prices fairly well before the end of the auction and I found the same gun had sold about 6 weeks earlier. The bidding was at a reasonable but somewhat low price and I notice that the Dealer who had bought the gun was bidding against me. Next the guy who had sold the gun threw in a bid. I ended up with the gun at a reasonable price.
I call Lewis FFA and told them what was going on and that I was not real pleased. He acted kind of sheepish about the whole deal and denied that he knew anything about it. He said if I did not want the gun, I did not have to take it.
The price was decent, so I took delivery but this stuff still irks me.
