If you are looking for dirt cheap fantastic deals, gunbroker is not the place for that, but if you shop smart and excersize some patience, you can do alright there.

I sold a S&W 27-2 SS .357 NIB for $1,400 was expecting to get $7-$800. I have bought a few guns thru GB but none were great deals after you add the xfer fee, shipping and taxes.

Obviously the fine folks at Gunbroker don't know what they are doing!

More importantly, you can shop the country from home. I've found guns there that I've searched for for 20 years. So yeah - I use it regularly.
Gunbroker is like any other free market, sometimes you get a good deal sometimes you don't. Alot of people try to snipe at the last min but they have the 15 min rule so that is pretty neat. Occasionally you get a good deal, say for instance, if I am looking for a certain item for fun, not seriously, say maybe I'd like an AK but only want to spend X amount of dollars, I check alot of auctions to gauge the current prices decide what is reasonable, then keep track of maybe 8 different auctions watching the demand. You may lose 20 auctions this way but occasionally you find a great deal, which is worth it to me.
