Total Costs when using sites like gunbroker.com?

Basically from my recent experience if you can find what you want on gb for 100 than what you pay locally go for it. Otherwise it's not worth it. That's assuming your transfer fee is $65 or less.

If it's from a Private seller on GB, you don't have to pay sales tax, if it's from a Gun Shop/FFL, then yes you have to pay sales tax + $25 DROS, plus whatever fee your local FFL wants to charge. For example (who I've used NUMBEROUS times - Mike is a great guy) OC Armory http://www.ocarmory.com/ charges $55 on top of the $25 DROS for a rifle. So you're paying $80 for the transfer. Plus tax if it's from a FFL.

Like others have said, if you can get it at a local shop like Big 5, prob will be cheaper.

You will be charged sales tax on ANY firearm that's shipped to an FFL in CA. Doesn't matter if it's a private party or a dealer. Add $25 for DROS and $50 - $150 transfer fee. Usually not a great idea unless you can get a SMOKIN' deal on the gun.

I did it because I got it for 450 less than city arms and only had to go to south city. Still wish I could have paid less

It depends. I got my browning O/U off gunbroker from another FFL. I paid cost of o/u plus $15 transfer, dros, and tax.
