Won a Hi Point 40 for under $130.00 last year. SCCY CPX1 for under $150.00, RG 38 Snub for right at $100.00. Nothing lately though. Seems like now everyone is trying to score the cheap stuffike I've been doing for years.

When I bid on GB, and I bid on three items just recently, I determine what I am willing to pay for that item and bid that amount. Of course if what I am willing to pay is less than what has already been bid, I move on to another item. Once I bid the amount I am willing to pay for that item, I just wait for notification of being outbid or that my bid was the highest. I don't go up on my bid. This works for me and I have gotten some very good deals on GB in the past. Now, I do have to say have been outbid on all three item I bid on. But, that is OK because there will be others.

It was a 1960 or '62 winchester 1894 3030 that just went for over 6 grand on gb. Just a plain jane model. If someone didn't run that up I'd be really surprised.

wow! must have been 2 millionaires running up that price, or 1 rich guy against a bid runner

I bought a Colt MK IV 9mm that I had been searching for a few years. I was the only bidder I think. Don’t remember particulars.

crazy, I know condition is everything, but i would think this gun would at most be 1500 as nice as it is....maybe a little more if someone had to have it. Winchester forum guys are claiming its been reblued.

I am sure that it happens, but probably not as often as it might seem. I second the idea that you determine your comfort zone, max bid it, and then leave it alone. I too get the rush of winning (gambling), but I have learned to find much better deals with patience and systematic process.

I try to adhere to this. I was bidding on something just the other evening. I up bid a couple of times but the other guy wanted it more than me. So take it buddy, I am not paying anymore for it.

I have won a few, lost many and had a few sellers refuse to honor the ending auction's low price. Won a taxidermy(d) mountain lion once for .01 and he wanted $3200 shipping. Needless to say, I do NOT possess a stuffed mountain lion

But more to the point, anyone ever see "local pick up only"? I know it would greatly reduce the customer base, but I don't want to deal w/ shipping ammo. Never sold anything on there, but considering it.
