Buying from GunBroker

[A-J]

I bought a lot of ammo back in the day when you could get it shipped to the house. I didn't look too hard at the feedback ratings, but I recollect that none them were zeros. I think that's more to do with chance than planning on my part.

I made a purchase late last night to a seller with over 100 positive transactions. Anyway, he emailed me to send zelle, PayPal f&f or cash app before scheduling a ppt. Found it a little strange. Told him I would send him payment in the morning. Next morning, I get an email from Gb, to not send payment. I guess the account got hacked

For good or bad, made my first purchase through GB. Tracking has it here tomorrow, so far so good.
I'm interested in opinions about buying from a seller with no feedback or minimal (1) feedback? Anyone taken that leap?

I was able to pick up a nice SIG a last year. Great experience.
Fast shipment and easy to connect to my local FFL.
I cannot speak about no feedback vendors, so I would stick to
well known venors who have a reputation.

Can you not do that anymore even if you have your FFL 3+COE?

The bad thing about that limitation is you're dealing mostly with professional sellers. Just like at a gun show with mom & pop sellers, you usually get a better deal from someone that just doesn't want the item any more or is trying to raise a few bucks.

the premium is worth the risk mitigation. guys running away with your money is a time consuming hassle and you don't always get it back

I've had good luck. Got a couple 12 Guage cowboy SxS shotguns. One of them was missing firing pins which was disclosed in the description so I got it pretty cheap. Ordered the firing pins for $40.

Used GB for a couple firearm purchases over the years. Only from highly rated sellers. Never had an issue. Generally I avoid GB.

I received an email from GB saying they had an SA-35 for $1250.00. Pretty strange because I've never been to their site and the gun new lists for $699. or $799.00. No idea why they picked me. The pistol isn't even on the roster.

True, I feel like GB is a last resort when you can't find something but most roster stuff is easy to come by here.
