Don’t low ball on gun broker right now or…….

Nice. I just snagged a well worn West German 226 for right around $400. No box and one mag but inside is in great condition and barrel rifling is still sharp. Will make a great shooter grade addition to my little collection.

I'll disagree. You should always low ball on Gunbroker. If you win a good deal, great. If you don't, it costs you nothing.

I'll try that occasionally, thanks.

And then you make that a Saved Search, and have email notifications turned on. That way, you will get an email when an item matching your search is listed. Scored my last two GB purchases this way.

I'm sure the title is being ironic or sarcastic since the gun is excellent

They definitely should call it "Go Broke(r)" because if I spend time browsing on the site my bank account always gets lighter somehow.

I should have asked how you make a low-ball offer? Those I saw all had minimum or starting bids and higher buy-it-now's.

Yeah you have to find the low starting bids sometimes .01

For ME:
DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9
Striker fired= Glock 9mm
If it's a .45= 1911
Suppressed= HK in .45
I like anything in 10mm

I did not need to see this, nor make note of how cheaply I may be able to pick up yet more guns.

I sell a lot on Gun Borker, and a lot on ebay,
ebay tries to prevent communication outside of Ebay, but is not able to kill it all
GB tries to be like ebay, but is no where close,

in other words, it is easy to do
