Doug & Dave -

I understand it is a dead end job, being a GM employee, but I would expect a manager at least to have some interest in selling the displayed items. Knives that were listed at $200+, used pistols at $800+.

I've had really good transactions on GB. The only ones that were bad were the ones I didn't pursue. For example: Jack County doesn't reply to email inquiries about advertised guns; another seller of Lugers in Nanuet NY would not answer emails (and changed his username on GB at least twice); a seller of an 1888 Commission carbine would only send it to an FFL; several sellers refused to admit their descriptions were wrong; several sellers had no FFL but still wanted my FFL receiver to accept it (illegal in my state). Another pet peeve is asking several questions about a gun for sale and having only one question answered.

Another questionable practice was a seller who sold a Luger on GB for ~$1800 but still had it listed on their web site as 'available' for ~$2500. I emailed them and was assured it was still available. But GB lists it as a 'completed auction' and sold...WTF???
