I have found all kinds of reasons that people don't like auctions - and no offense, but I see people refer to ebay and gunbroker or Amazon for that matter, like its one big company. Especially the first two, however, they are simply a WTS website that charges you money, every single seller is a different animal you have to figure out.

**I've heard that a no penny reserve is the way to go (never works for me, I lose money as a seller).
**That a 'Reserve' auction is somehow sneaky? why?
** that its all shill bidders.
**that you'll get ripped off since its on-line (many times the easiest way to see lots of guns you can't find in your area - and yes, seeing in person is great)
