I've used Auction Arms to purchase a rifle. The process was smooth and painless. MI VHNTR

I think I'd post the name of the one you plan on using Bob and see what folks say about it. Find what you want somewhere and bring us the name of the site.

By just saying "yeah we had good luck" kinda reacts as a blanket insurance policy for sites we've never heard of just because they fall into the "online auction" category.

The names you listed in your first post have been around a while and have created a, well known, by popular demand, reputation.

As far as I know,,there are only 3 Gun Auction Sites on the intra web,,I couldnt remember the auction arms,,but they are Gunbroker,GunsAmerica and Auctionarms,,I was just wanting to know if anyone ever bought GUNS off of any of these,,I always knew of Gunbroker.com,,but just found out about the other 2 in the last 6 weeks,,I am going to TRY and read the
small Print on them,,to see IF they have any type of protection like the Communist Party E-Bay did ??? I was curious because they have like a Million members,,and I know most members are just a 1 or 2 time deal,,but I never heard of anyone in the boards I go to,that has actually bought something off of there,,I guess all anyone can do is look at the sellers Feedback and pray,,but I think I have a line on a gun,,so I may not need to use them,,BUT,I have seen some NICE Rifles and Pistols on there also  :doh2: But I think after I get the new Shotgun,,I will have all the guns I need !!!

Yeah I've never heard anything bad about those three. But they are the only ones I've heard of myself.

I have sold a couple of guns on "Guns America" and bought one on "Gun Broker", all of these transactions went well, but there was communication, both e-mail and phone befor hand. I would use either of these sights again, but communicate, see picturres, etc, and follow that gut feeling. And these sights are a lot of fun to browse and see what a certain gun is actually bringing on the market.
