I have used GUNBROKER & ARMSLIST, but never GUNS.COM

Please share your experiences on GUNS.COM with me.

Thanks

Terry

I've also used AuctionArms.com but never heard of guns.com

I hadn't heard of it before today either.

It appears to be more like a dealer network rather than a true auction site.  That is neither good nor bad as long as you know what you are getting.  Probably a bit more professional on the transaction side, but not likely to have the same breadth of inventory.

For instance....I went to semi-auto handguns and filtered for 10mm.  I got 17 matches at guns.com.  Gunbroker.com with the same filter returned 852 matches.  In fairness, guns.com redacted duplicates from the list by showing a single Sig P220 entry with "prices from".  But on drill on there were only two, and I had to drill into the list to get details.  Also, the Manufacturers list did not auto filter down after I selected 10mm, leaving the possiblity of a filter with no results, like 10mm and HK.

If you find a deal there, I see no reason not to buy from them.

Thanks guys for your help.

I decided to call them and talk to them BEFORE buying. The conversation made me feel more at ease with them. They told me that they were a new service thats tied into LUCKYGUNNER.

Apparently they have some guns in their store, others are at various other shops that subscribe to their service.

Overall, I was happy with their performance, with 1 exception. I would receive 10-12 emails a day saying that it had shipped, yet checking the tracking showed that USPS had not even taken possession.

I called them and got the skinny, but the emails were part of their program and could not be changed. It was quite annoying.
