There is a phone contact in the winning bid announcement on gunbroker. I'll call the guy tomorrow.an you call him and say hello? I’ve made a few GB purchases and always like to speak to the seller first.
ThisIf you're concerned, I would see what the online invoice is and probably pay that way with a card. Then if it goes bad, I can at least do a charge back. Also, you now need to post the link to the listing so we can judge you outwardly but be jealous quietly.
Nothing but a+ ratings.If he has 650 ratings and a+ should be good. Any negative ratings or comments?
Anything on GB, or online, or at a gun shop or whatever. I use a card. Chargeback protection and 3% rebate back to me as cash.I’ve made a slew of GB purchases. I pay with a credit card, and only deal with vendors who have a high number of positive ratings, and ones that I can trace to a bricks and mortar business with contact info.
with the way UPS and others are right now it is near impossible for a private party to ship a handgun
Pay by credit card even if it cost a couple points, if anything goes wrong it's just a phone call to get your money back. The 3% for cards is fairly normal, and I get 3% back on all purchases, so it's a no brainer for me, same as cash but with protection.
Ya they keep dropping my rate, I call and bitch and threaten to go elsewhere, and they they find a way to bump it back up. But I run almost everything through them and pay 100% each month so we get along pretty well. It was 4% when I first signed with them, so at some point they will probably not bump me back up.If I may ask, which card is giving 3% all the time? I though I was doing well getting 2% on all purchases from CITI.
This.I guess I'll be the one to say it. Don't bid if you haven't already vetted the seller.
Postal Money Orders suck by the way. You gotta let like 60 days pass before even filing a claim and then they charge $50 to research it. Total pain in the ass. I use them often but it’s a total suck story if you have to file a claim.Pay by credit card even if it cost a couple points, if anything goes wrong it's just a phone call to get your money back. The 3% for cards is fairly normal, and I get 3% back on all purchases, so it's a no brainer for me, same as cash but with protection.
Also, pull up a street view of the sending address.
You never tried to get glock parts then.I have never had a bad experience on Gunbroker. Maybe I’m lucky but if your informed and knowledgeable about what you are purchasing you shouldn’t have any issues.
This one comes with 2 mags. So for bullseye league I'm good just reload the 2 between sets.Nice early gun. Triple K just started making after market mags for them. No reviews yet I plan on picking one up in the near future.
Congrats!
I have passed on items because the seller had very few (maybe 10) reviews and only took money orders.
Even that sounds kinda like a winHell, that describes me! I get a kick out of sellers who say you need to add 3% to use a credit card, and then only accept credit cards. Hahaha--shmucks. I only use USPS money orders.
Only time I got burned on GB was by a seller with A+ rating and thousands of reviews. "Excellent condition, perfect when it left our shop" but Ruger said it was beyond repair. (Ruger sent me a new stainless one to replace it.)
Yeah, it actually was, in the end.Even that sounds kinda like a win
gunbroker is nothing to be afraid of, but you need to be diligent on what price you end up with, as same with ebay auctions - it is possible to end up overpaying.The model 52 shipped. I have the tracking info says delivery to ffl should be today. Sorry about the play by play I'm just excited. Should be able to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
