I myself now longer will deal with Gun Broker.If you are not perfect with putting up your ad,you may get screwed. I did just that over a year ago.Had an ad for buy now at $$$ .well somehow it got on the auction and a guy bid $1.00,in so doing he locked the ad up so I could not relist it.I went to GB and asked them to delete ad and i'd do it again. Nope,once a bid your stuck!! Period. Know it was my screw up,had sold alot off there site over the years.So I told em,I will no longer deal with you. I then proceeded to list $25,000 worth of guns on GI.A flat $15.00 fee with I think 12-15 pics...unbelievable! Sold out in three weeks. End of story.

I suppose one could have a bad experience with any of the on-line services.

I've had very good luck marketing items on GB.com.  I do make it a practice of reviewing my ad right after I hit the "list" tab.  I don't understand the problem the OP's had if the item was to be sold as a fixed price unless the initial ad was incorrectly put up.  Catching those mistakes is the seller's responsibility, not the web site.

It's unfortunate the OP's had a poor experience with GB.com, but I don't think that deserves criticizing the site. 

The sites do have practices in place to safe guard purchaser/bidders from scammers selling items and I know that will limit altering an ad once bids are received.

From a sales stand point, the auction option on GB.com can bring in better prices at times. There is a strategy that can be employed to insure good bidding and safe guarding a sale item.

I haven't worked with gunsinternational.  Another place to cruise 

At times it is not all about the price. 
When one has worked hard all of his life. Sometimes its just about what one has found and would now like to have in his life.

No doubt, at present the GI forum is the most cost effective gun sales program. When I signed up I was surprised by a call from the owner thanking me for joining and also reassured me his company worked with his clients to resolve mistakes. They appreciate your business.

My strategy for selling is start out at a reasonably high figure and weekly reduce the pricing. Sort of like an auction in reverse. It’s not long before a sale is made at a fair price for both parties. As for buying one learns quickly those dealers that will come off their high prices and those that won’t, a phone call is all it takes to make that judgment. 

Hopefully as the word gets out the increase in business doesn’t cause another forum to loose sight of it’s customers and cashes in for the big money.

I have always been happy with GB. I have to try Guns Inter now.

If he didn't send you a copy of his sales tax license you probably have to collect the tax no matter what he "says."

I've used GunBroker for many years both selling and buying.   It has become a bit complicated since the elections and I am not sure that I will sell there next time I want to sell a rifle.   I do have a dealer friend who started out selling through Guns International, but switched to GunBroker after a year or so.   Guess I'll ask him why next time I see him.

His FFL or his sales tax license?

GB can occasionally "hose you" if you are not careful.  I find them irritating with regards to listings.  My pet peeve is looking at Shiloh Sharps listing and seeing other manufacturers thrown in.  A fairly common practice is a listing headed "Shiloh Sharps by C. Sharps" or "C. Sharps, not Shiloh",or the cretins building AR-15's marked "Shiloh AR-15's".  They seem not to be interested in removing cross listed items.  Wastes my time...
