    I use gunbroker to look at the actual sold listings for price comps.
    You have to sign in, connect to advanced, and then select Completed Items, and enter a description.
    Then I sort by number of bids high to low in order to get to the ones that have sold.
    I have bought and sold, but that was a few years ago.
    I got some good deals, and I had a couple of deals where the actual firearm did not live up to the descriptions.
    When buying these days, I like to hold and inspect the firearms.

    Me too.

    I have used it several times to buy but you have to be careful not to catch "auction fever" and go over budget- especially with credit card fee and shipping plus your local FFL's fee.

    I haven't used it to sell anything yet because of the fees but for rare or valuable items, it's a great way to go, especially if you can time the auction to end on a weekend evening where guys are more likely to have had a couple beers and are less resistant to the aforementioned fever.

    + sales tax auto-generated by GunBroker. The GB "deal" quickly turns into... "how did I end up paying that much?!"

    You can not go by what they are "listed" for.
    Some are WAY overpriced.
