I’m confused. On the lot below, it says the opening bid is $2000. It has 1 bid only, but it is currently at $4000. How is that possible?

Items may have a reserve that is no greater than the low estimate.  In this case a bid was placed that met the reserve of $4,000.

Thanks to all those that participated in the Propstore auction last week.  It was an amazing four-day auction including some amazing sales including the sale of a screen-matched Star Wars X-Wing model for $2.75M and the John Alvin Gremlins Poster Original Art pictured above for $175,000. 

If you missed the auction, there are some pieces remaining that didn't sell which Propstore is still taking offers on.  Below is just a sampling of items that are available.  Please take a look at the full list of items here:  https://propstore.com/tag/emla-us-22-second-chance/?sortType=2&auction=1&buyNow=1&archive=1.  Please note: Offers of 80% of reserve and higher will be considered.  Some great bargains to be had.  Offers will be accepted through July 8th and each item will sold as soon as the offers are accepted.  So, act fast!

The Defenders DPS is now sold... still a few more hours until the post-auction sale closes.  Feel free to ping me directly if you have questions or want to make an offer.

I seem to remember the Defenders DPS sold on a You Tube claim show for $4500. But I guess we shouldn't believe everything we see on the Internet?

It did sell on the CAF show, but then the buyer backed out on buying it so it was put back up for sale in the auction.

Thank you for the clarification. Nice piece. Glad a sale was made for Mr. Hannigan.
