I just registered for the first time on GunBroker you guys have any advice for me what to watch out for do's and don'ts?
Barr: I've done that already hooked up with a Target World transfer fee of $25 guy even said I could come in and he'll walk me through how to do it if need beLine up a local FFL for transfers. Always look for multiple positive feedbacks, look to see how they respond to any neutral or negative feedbacks. Good sellers respond to questions and provide many high quality photographs.
Many of these answers can and do apply to selling as well. I get 1 or 2 non-payments a month. I had one that said that he wouldn't pay by certified check or money order. All he had to do was look at my feedback and read the types of payment that I take. I don't take credit cards because they charge around 3%. That is a pretty big cut on a consignment item. I did turn him in as non-payment. My feedback is approximately half of my sales, so that puts total sales around 1000. I have had 2 or 3 bad reviews. Hell I get that many at church.
If I have a really nice piece like the Krieghoff that shipped last week, or the H&K SP5 I will put them on Showcase. Any high dollar or rare gun will get at least a feature listing. Standard, run-of-the-mill guns get a counter and that is about all. Main thing is give a good description and try to get good pictures. You might stay away from reserves too. Many buyers won't even look at a reserve listing. I know I don't.Any advise on selling? Do you think it’s worth it to pay for the “showcase” or “featured” listings?

I don't do biz with anyone with no feedback. I also don't buy anything that doesn't have a lot of quality, close up pictures. Read the descriptions very carefully.
I see what you guys mean about the prices nothing to write home about ...
Only pay with a credit card.If you're a victim of fraud you have recourse. If you send a check or money order it's difficult if not impossible to get that money back.
Don't bid on any of my listing.Only pay with a credit card.If you're a victim of fraud you have recourse. If you send a check or money order it's difficult if not impossible to get that money back.

This is true if things went haywire in the transaction however I have sent money orders for GB sales several times and it all worked out fine, it goes back to looking at feedback of the seller and staying away from sellers with little or no feedback.Only pay with a credit card.If you're a victim of fraud you have recourse.
