Gunbroker vs. Gunsamerica..

[cgpd2515]

Is it just me or are the prices higher on GunsAmerica vs. Gunbroker. Granted, I've never bought from either one, but it seems like there is a major difference.

Plus, I never recall anyone on here referring to buying from GA..


Thoughts??

Gunbroker is an auction site that sometimes has a buy now price.

GunsAmerica has fixed prices and is used more by dealers.

Thank you Sir... you educated me this evening. I did not know that they had those differences. Like they say...you learn something every day...

I have purchased 20+ guns from Gunbroker. I just bought my first gun from GunsAmerica last week. A really nice pre-27 for $885 and the seller threw in a nice Safariland holster. The seller was a private seller that had only sold a couple of guns.

I agree that the prices on GA seem to be higher.

You will notice the provision on many guns america offerings to "make an offer."

As stated above Guns America ads are mostly dealers. I have contacted sellers with a lower offer than listed and had good results. Some wont budge but most are like a local dealer that have bargaining room built into the price. I still have more guns off GB. What I don't understand is why a seller on GB will start an auction at a really low price and then put a reserve on it. Why not just put the reserve as the starting price and save all of us the time and trouble.
That reminds me I need to go check my bid on the Supermatic slant grip.
