Postal Money Orders are safer than Certified Checks and don’t require the amount of time to clear as personal checks.  And compared to other Money Orders, they offer security to both the buyer and the seller.

Michael,  My 2 cents…Good job on the penny listing. As one who has purchased guns on GB and watched many others I feel that the penny start is the best way to go. I see many of these go for as much or more than the high starts.  I believe that it is 90% psychology.. for one, there are way too many guns listed by dreamers at high prices that just sit there for months or even years without bids. Is there something negative about this gun that I am not spotting, but everyone else is? I am immediately drawn to the guns that are being bid on. Ah ha, now here is a gun people want.I believe that during the early and mid point bidding process you are likely getting multiple bidders, who are then personally vested in the gun. Once you have bid on an item you will watch it religiously  and at that point I believe in an auction it can often becomes personal. My god this gun must be good, everybody wants it..Bad strategy, but Human nature for sure..People want to win. Possible that I am over anylizing it, but I do feel that it has a strong psychology to it. And what could be more “honest” than trusting the market to set the price? Good luck, and anxious to see how you finish out
