If you got cash, 2025 will be the year to pick up sweet deals on all kinds of stuff. Guns, cars, property, etc. People will be stressed and panic-selling, and buyers will be few. I'm guessing by summer it will be in full swing. Early signs are already starting to appear.
I don't use GB, but I have a friend who does. Often he will broker a deal outside of GB. How come GB doesn't do more to prevent member buyers & sellers from transacting outside of GB, the way ebay does? Doesn't GB care about missing out on their percentage?

Great pickup! Last time I scored a "deal" like that it turned out was a CA compliant 226. The pic didn't show the huge billboard on top of the slide along with the ginormous LCI. Sigh.

Usually only works on guns you don't REALLY need/want.
A couple years ago I won two shotguns, bidding mid way through the auction (something I almost never do unless I really don't want it), I raised the bid by $8.00 both times and both times it was enough to win.

Not that I need another gun right now, but I tried a quick look and found nothing that cheap. If I did, and it was a P229 (not railed like yours, nor E2 Grips) in 357SIG or 40S&W, as nice as the one you got, I'd be REAL tempted!
I picked one up several years back from a member here with both barrels and good night sights but not finished anywhere as nice as yours. I've wanted to get a nicer one but didn't want to spend a lot.
How did you find it?
