... i have a little experience on both sides of this controversy , and it's a legit concern - especially if you know how gunbroker can work out after the selling fees. many time, you read in the ad that this gun is also offered at "intrepid shooting sports" a gunsmith and and gun shop near me - they are also selling the gun for a more retail price at the same time , so they have a fair way to coordinate the offers from different sources at the same time with gunbroker....other ads elsewhere (like the old yellow forum) might say that "this item is also listed on gunbroker, so heads up !" .... but i tried that and it's too much stres and you kinda have to make the reserve too high to keep it even with your ad on any classifieds... airguns arent really bringing the 75-80% resale they were in recent years (not chinese, turkish, or gamos) for quality airguns. buyer's market now... i get some good deals on gun broker, and i like it. sold a working sheridan super grade there within a few days after listing a buy now price a little higher. if youre the kind of guy who gets all cranky after replying "i'll take it" before inquiring , and then over-expecting that yours . consider that many guys dont spend much time around these things and may not respond instantly to sooth our airgun addiction (or to ship out , as in my case - i'm 'slow to ship mentally-challanged' but working on that)... i was doing all of the things i see those going thru with the emotional mountain range we run thru RIGHT AFTER WE HIT THE 'SUBMIT YOUR ORDER' BUTTON.....idk why we put ourselves thru so much when buying airguns......i probably have more satisfaction buying used airguns, anyway, but buying some of these new ones is scary - especially if you cant return or exchange one locally. airguners are very fickle and hard to deal with in general for the most part. ive heard distributors went about how picky and fickle we are....but i went thru all of that too. and guess what ?? my buddy came over and spent about $5K on pcp airguns and accessories from a.g.s of ariz --- no matter how you spend on this sweet adiction , you still bow unto the mighty shipping gods. he went thru that high anxiety of awaiting the brown santa (ups) too eagerly. ..... - paul.
