Hello Ray,
In my opinion Gunbroker is the best place to sell,start the auction at $1.00 no reserve.The most important element is good photo,s,90% of the guns that dont sell on Gb are a victim of bad photography.

I agree with John K. I have had good luck selling on Gun Broker with 25-50 very good photos, a very thorough and honest description, and returns if not as pictures and described. I also start all of mine at $1.00 and let’r go. They will sell for what they are worth…every time for me anyway. Peter

Peter do you put a reserve on yours?

I have never reserved one yet, but am always a little fearful about what might happen. Except for one time when I had an auction go off on Super Bowl night, I have always done ok. I have always made a little money and never had an unhappy buyer. I do have several that I know I paid a bit to much for (bought a little early as they say), and I’m not sure what to do there if I was to sell…just take a hit I guess. These sellers that keep relisting the same gun at the same high price are crazy in my opinion…the gun gets worn out in my opinion. I get really tired of sellers who do that. Peter

I agree Pday. I have been watching two Zulu shotguns for two years now come up over and over.

For whatever it is worth, here is what my auction looked like on my last old Winchester I sold on GB.
