Has anyone used "GunBroker" bidding website to purchase/sell a firearm?

Gun sales are up through the roof, and most inventory is gone from many gun stores.
People are bidding double the MSRP for guns at Gunbroker. This is crazy.
Mossberg 500 tactical shotgun usually sells for $399. people are paying double that price.

Many times for selling and buying. As long as you have a local store that will ship to an FFL for a reasonable price, you're good.

Well this shite called civil unrest, in where the cops don’t really do much, is occurring. If “ONE” was smart, they would have accumulated arms over the last 3 years at depressed prices.

No. No one ever. That’s how they’re so successful.

Can you elaborate on that?
Most bids say FFL required to ship.

I found a guy (small dealer) that has an FFL license posted on his website. I'm assuming if i win the bid i can send the seller the license and ask him to ship to the FFL address. Is that correct? (does the seller also needs a proof of an FFL before he ships the item?)

Correct. You win it and tell them where to ship it. But that entity must have an FFL. You’ll pay around $40 for his processing fee and get your gun.

They are pretty common here. I just looked and I have 5 FFL's within 2 miles of my house. It's not a difficult process. They are just going to run you through the federal database just as if they sold it to you.

Find a pawn shop or small gun shop that has an FFL and ask what they’ll charge to handle the transaction for you. I’ve paid from $10 per transaction to $25. Still gotta go through the background check if buying.

Probably the Liberals that never owned a gun and want the strictest gun laws possible starting to get worried about the world they created and buying anything they can get their hands on. Most normal people have had guns and ammo for years and dont need to buy either when people start a buying frenzy.

Well in Minnesota it's different, the FFL dealer won't hand me the package unless i have the permit to purchase on me form the state.
So when i applied for purchase permit, the sheriff office already ran the background check.

Theoretically. I just call 911 when necessary.

Use it all the time. Find an FFL you can do business with and your set.

Shop around. I’ve got a guy not far from me who does the FFL thing as a side gig to his firefighting job and he charges a whopping $10.

I see it on Cabela's for $359.

Search online, plenty of reputable shops selling at normal pricing.

I was wondering the same. I just bought a 12ga Winchester for $400 and feel like I paid too much.
