    I purchased from an individuals first posting on Gun Broker, and he had poor quality grainy pictures. I sent him several large US Postal money orders and waited . . . . I had read two discussions on internet forums about his auction & guys were saying it was a scam & they were not bidding. However, after talking to the seller (and having him send me a picture of that days newspaper next to it) I decided it was worth the chance. It tirned out to be MUCH better than I had anticipated.

    I have made a couple of purchases through GB, one was a K31 Swiss rifle, the last was a new Armalite 50BMG. Both went smooth as silk. I would have no problems purchasing there again.

    Not too much to add to this. I have been buying and selling on gunbroker since 2004.
    I have never had a non paying bidder, and have never gotten an item that was not as described.

    I've bought a couple guns on gb and didn't have an issue. I read the positive feedback, but mainly focus on the negatives. You can determine who the real problem was in the transaction. Last vendor I purchased from had a negative review and after reading the comments from both it turned out that the buyer didn't pass the background check.

    If there isn't a pic on a particular part of the gun, assume there is a blemish there or ask for a pic of it. Also, don't expect the sellers to tell you about any flaw you may be able to see in the pics, so look carefully.

    I have bought several things off gunbroker as well. I did buy a German .22 revolver that had been shot so much the rifling was gone. Other than that, all have been good purchases. One thing I like about gunbroker is you can get a good idea what the value of something is by what is getting bid on. I also like the 15 minute rule. If you plan to use it more in the future, make sure the person you are dealing with gives you a positive rating. And give them one if all went well. I am guessing you have an FFL to send the firearm to.

    Need a little more advice. I've sent a few messages to different sellers and have yet to get a response. What am I doing wrong? I'd like to see a more specific part of the gun so I ask politely for that, but never get any return correspondence. My gut is telling me that there is likely a blemish in those areas.

    I had a very good experience with the seller. Answered all questions, quick shipping and just as described.
