When I sell on Gunbroker I start at 0.01, no reserve. Items generally always bring what they should, if I do my part and take plenty of good photos and discuss the item in the body of my listing.
Even if my photos aren’t that good, with only a half dozen and a 2 line description, I still generally get what I should -the caveat here is that on average a couple items go low with this minimal effort template, and a few go high anyway. So if you’re selling a lot you can average out your gains and losses, and save on labor time with a minimalist listing. If you’ve only got one or two personal items to sell, by all means put in plenty of effort, you can’t afford the risk that it’ll go $100 under the going rate.
Use Gunbroker advanced search > completed tab, and sort by bid count (to filter out the numerous unsold items with a high initial starting bid) to get a realistic idea of what your gun should *actually* be bringing in the market.
