Legit. I’ve bought a couple of guns and much ammo with no problems.

Bought twice. Had a great experience both times. Be weary of a new seller but I still wouldn’t worry about it too much. Contact the seller before you purchase anything though.

I try to make sure I’m buying from a business and not a private person. I’ve gotten lucky every time with private sales though. Wired someone a check through Walmart’s money gram. They could’ve easily fricked me but it worked out. It’s transactions aren’t as protected as eBay is with PayPal. They did recently come out with GunBroker pay. I’ve yet to use it but it’s gotta be reliable.

Sorry for the downvote. Fat fingers. Bought 5 guns in the last year. From both shops and private individuals. Never had an issue. My only advice is to place bids before noon, not while you’re sipping on some bourbon.

Had a few issues selling recently. One winnings bidder strung me along for 10 days then told me he could not buy. The other bought and immediately messages and says he wants layaway.

It's the ebay for everything gun related.

No issues, bought my first handgun from there a few years back. You just select which "dealer" you wanna send the gun to and go there to pick her up. I had mine sent to Lousiana Firearms right there on Airline Hwy in BR. Took 10 minutes to sign everything and he looked over the gun prior to handing her over for any blemishes

Yep. Tried to buy a 10/22 for my son and got shafted. Took my money and would not respond, nothing. It took my bank to get my money back.

Just check seller's feedback/ratings. Many sellers rely on their GunBroker sales, so they are very unlikely to screw you.

Find a seller with 1000 or more A+ ratings.

Few times yes no problem. I had a problem one time buying some mags closer to after sandy hook. Privet seller. Supposed to send 30 round pmags. I got a empty box. Seller claimed he sent them but it was an unmarked box that didn’t look opened. I never sold anything on there but was thinking about moving a cpl things to fund other projects since prices are high on them it seems.
