What are the good sites & which ones too avoid?

I think gunbroker is the best and easiest to use. Gunsamerica and auctionarms are ok but really prefer gunboker

Gb is the way to go

I would say GB is the best. It is pretty much like ebay but,they restart the last 15 minutes of the auction every time someone bids in the last 15 minutes. That is the only thing I dont like about GB. Auction arms is pretty much like GB, Gunsamerica is more like a classified ad.You can get pretty good deals sometimes with buy it nows if you are there at the right place at the right time. I just recently got 5 original WW1 and WW2 era Luger mags for the price of what 1 mag usually goes for on GB.

Gunbroker is definitely the best one in general..  If you are going to find something on an auction site, GB is most likely going to be the one you find it at..  I got my CZ 75B SS from GB..  It runs more like a real auction (allowing time for a competing bid) rather than eBay (where sniping is rampant). 

Armslist may be one to avoid, unless you can meet the seller face to face.

 

Never bought anything from their site, but Guns International tends to have some interesting listings and you can find

more on the sellers websites.

Thanks eveyone. Some of those sites I hadn't heard of before. I'll be checking them out this weekend.

You don't really have to bid on most of them.  A lot of dealers and sellers post their items up for advertising.  If you provide a direct phone # or web site, just call them up & tell them you want that item.  They will take your CC & end the auction.  Simple.  Try to get free shipping into the deal if you can cause you'll be paying FFL costs.

 

ask about CC as payment.  I personally would never send a check.

ask about return policy.

if used ask for more photos

check them out under GB ratings or BBB
