I picked up a ‘used’ Taurus Model 85 from Gunbroker several years ago. It may have been used, but I doubt it was ever fired much, if at all. I paid $175 plus a transfer fee ($20) so I got it for less than $200. I’ve been turned off by Gunbroker lately because they force you to open an account just to browse. Imagine a gun store doing that! “I’m sorry sir, but if you want to see the gun up close you’re going to have to open an account and give us your personal information."
The other issue I have with Gunbroker is that lately it seems like they’ve gone the pawnshop route. You can buy a used or new gun (sight unseen) for the same or more than you could by just going to your local gun shop.
If you see a gun there that you simply must have, go ahead and buy it. I would suggest dropping by your local gun shop and asking them if they can get you the same gun though, they may be able to beat the price.
