Tell us about that SUPER deal on GB
A comment by MP1518 led me to post this question for you.
"I get a decent deal on GB once in a while. Even scored few SUPER deals before."
So tell us about that SUPER deal you made on Gunbroker. Or tell us the killer sale you made on there.
My best deal so far was a recent purchase of a 66-6 F comp which is on another thread. I am sure I could make a nice profit if I sold it on GB.

There are few, if any, "SUPER" deals to be found on GB. I find GB the best place to sell a gun for top dollar, but as for buying, I go to just about any other gun site or online auction and find much better selling prices. Maybe I am just too cheap?!? 
If someone wants a specific make, model, or configuration fast, GB is the best place to look, but taking your time can yield significantly lower prices in many online gun auctions out there. To me, dealing with unrealistic high Reserve pricing is just plain annoying.
Oh - I forgot to add an amazing sale I made on GB. About 1 1/2 years ago, I put up a nice refinished 44 DA and sold it to a UK resident. The price was very good, but the best part of the story is that the same buyer ended up buying a Model 3 American Second Model, a 44 Russian Second Model, and a 44 Russian Third Model directly from me and I was able to add it to the same shipment. 4 guns sold to the high priced European market for only advertising one made me very happy, plus getting premium dollar for all was just icing on the cake. Even considering inflated UK prices, the buyer still got a great deal and both parties were very happy with the deal.

I found my first 3.5'' blued 27-2 for a killer price. A nice shooter with ugly later target grips. No one else bid.
And nickle 58 as well. Horrible plastic grips that I threw out but the nicest nickle gun I've ever seen. Zero flaking. Again, no one else bid.

I bought my 64 no dash and my 337 for right at $300 each years back. I doubt that would be the case today.

I picked this P228 up on gunbroker a while back along with my pristine 3913TSW.
Paid less than 600 delivered for both (one each), pretty happy with them and have not seen another pre rail 3913 tsw on there since.
nm the 3913 came off GAmerica
my bad

The best deal I have found on GB involved an old model Ruger Super Blackhawk. It had a brass grip frame and the price was in line with a gun wearing the normal steel grip frame. I bought the gun then contacted Ruger and found that it was in fact a factory installed and shipped MR3-BD gripframe on a factory lettered gun. The value was about 3 times what I paid for it.

A few years ago, I bought a pristine 6" Model 629 no dash with box, papers, tools for $675. I thought that was a pretty good deal, I've seen them sell for a lot more. Something about stainless firearms, I like them all.
