No, never sold but i am hooked on buying from there. My 3 transactions have all been easy and communication with sellers is like we are long lost high school friends. My biggest purchase is a Winchester 94 30-30, it has arrived at my FFL on Wednesday but i am traveling daily to DC and then Staunton this week and cannot get there until Saturday. My FFL says it is beautiful and shoots nice.

Same here. Never sold, but buy often. I have never had an issue other than bidding on several different guns that were each so far below cost I did not expect to win even one of them, and ended up winning 5 the same day. Luckily you get 7-10 days to pay. I watch everything until the last day it is for sale now, then bid on one or two at a time.

I do have friends that sell on gb all the time. All but one have FFLs though. Some tips from them to me have been:
In your ad, clearly state "As Is/No Returns" or whatever your return policy is.
Unless you can process credit cards, only accept certified checks or money orders and cash them before you ship.
Check people's feedback too. Some people require a certain amount of positive feedback to weed out bidders that don't pay.

VA Gun Trader is good for local sales too if you don't want to ship. I know moree people that use that.
