Is Gunbroker a good place to buy

So far (fingers crossed), I have had satisfactory experiences on Gunbroker and even made a few outstanding purchases. It is important to ask the right questions and make your expectations crystal clear (in addition to an understood return policy). The seller's history is important but one of my best purchases was from a rookie with no seller's history. I also use US postal money orders. I have also been disappointed with gun shows and despite all the boosted and misrepresented crap on GB it is probably about the best public source for the collector.

+1 on the recommendation for Gunbroker. I've had dozens of selling and buying transactions through their site and have never had a problem.

As other posters mentioned, have a good idea of what you're looking for before blindly bidding and don't impulse buy and assume everything will turn out alright without asking questions. Lastly, don't hesitate to pass up something that seems suspicious or if the seller's a jerk. There are thousands of guns on that site and other deals are usually just a click away.
