Has anyone used internet gun broker.com? How was your buying experience with them?

Thanks

I bought ammo and mags from a guy who turned out to be local. Very good experience.

I've bought mags, stripper clips, green followers and a couple of other items, with no problems. Haven't bought a gun on the site. There are some reputable gunshops that sell on gunbroker. Probably just for the exposure.
Read the feedback on a seller before bidding, and email previous buyers about their experiences with a seller whose auction you're interested in.
I don't know if gunbroker will help a buyer who's been screwed. Keep in mind, that gunbroker makes it's money from sellers, not buyers.

thanks guys, I am a little leary of buying because I have never used a auction service before. I want a 9mm Marlin camp rifle and a guy their says he has one.  Thanks again everyone.

I've bought several Bushmaster parts, including 2 lowers.  Nothing bad to say about any transaction.

Gunbroker has done fine for me buying or selling. Just check the sellers feedback before bidding.

Its worked out good for me.  I have bought a couple of guns through it.

Found my NIB Bushy M4 on gunbroker.com for $799, $200 cheaper than any dealer in my State.

Just like Ebay, check up on the sellers feedback before you bid.

Just remember you are dealing with the seller, not Gunbroker. If a seller has a good feedback history you will most likely have no problem. Buying a new gun from a dealer is just like ordering from a Sears catalog. Buying a used gun from an individual is a little trickier.
