this item surprised me....

toad67

Both in how high the bidding went, and how much the seller wanted... Perfect example of starting it at $0, and letting it go...

PayPal for only payment listed, too.

Locust Fork

That was painful.....I'm going to go find something to get my mind off of that one.

Re-Listed.  At $430 the reserve was not met.  Wow.

Well, IMO, he called it right "salvage".

What am I missing?? Here is a nice one with a BIN of $500. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/879633098

Someone would have two grand n "restoring" that chunk of scrap metal.

SCOUT5

Is it really a 9mm?

He needs to correct his spelling,,, 

antigue???

chme

Well, he can't spell, it ain't an antique, and the 1905 was a .32 ACP.   He made the trifecta.

Unbelievable the number of items that dont meet PP standards being listed on GB.

WOW, and I thought the common everyday Mossy 500 that went for 2K was a shocker.

That's just thievery.

It seems there are more folks than usual 'screwing around' on the auction side. A lot of these are nothing but jokes.

It all depends on who you insult. Calling Nunn and myself snowflakes, and two old ladies clutching our pearls was an invitation to a quick exit.

  , I never did that nor ever would........I was raised better    Maybe "rediculous" is a better word I should've used.

The one that Toad posted isn't offering an item for auction. It's advertising a service. So how does GB make any $ off of that. Do they pay rent for that space or does that stay in perpetuity.

That Savage basket case auction, smells to high heaven to me. That any body would bid $430 for it, doesn't compute? My WAG, person or persons, are playing games. I just can't figure out what the scam is? But I'm sure there is one.

Here's the correct way to offer a service on Gunbroker. Use a fixed realistic price with buy it now.

I don't like the concept of listing fees but maybe, after reading some of these auctions, I should reconsider.

I want to know what these guys are having to drink.  Or maybe smoke.

I've heard rumors of Paypal blocking use of both the seller and buyers accounts for a time period if they declined payment for firearms.
Anyone know if this is true and if so why do sellers list payment as paypal only???

chme

Why?  A.  They have never been caught and had an account frozen, and B.......... I don't think there IS a B.  Sorry.
