Re: GunBroker
Everytime I go there, I always find the worst deals on the ugly-face of the internet. I'm not sure why, but you're not only paying them for a used pistol, but also paying for the pleasure of them using it, and at the same price as new. I'll be the first to admit that I have the money to buy new and buy new w/o thinking about it... so in order to get me to buy used, it has to be eye-catching, and the people on GunBroker are horrible at doing that. At least, to me.[/quote]
Well it's pretty easy to avoid that problem, I just don't buy anything used period. Also it's not that hard to figure out if it's a good deal or not. Like any auction site, there are people trying to rip other people off, and then there are real good deals. If you're patient you can find what you need, and get a good deal. Plus where I live my choices are very very slim in the local shops, and their prices are off the charts. I paid less for my M&P 9mm with two extra mags and carry kit, plus shipping and transfer fee, than the local guy was charging just for the gun.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me, I haven't seen them that much cheaper than this brand new.
