Where to look for used guns?

340six · Jul 18, 2017

I normally look online at Gunbroker for stuff! Have been looking fir quite some time. But it is the same old, same old, guns.
So asking to much, that get relisted as never meet reserve! Or are not in good shape so no one bids on them and same thing relisted
So what other places do you guys look at for not so normal everyday stuff?

I look at my local gun and pawn shops, wts ads on the forums I belong to and hit up family and friends to see if they have anything they are looking to get rid of.

Try Tri Parish Police Supply in Houma. You can look on their Facebook page and see what they have before you drive from Kenner. They have a lot of consignments with little mark up. Their prices on bone stock guns are not great, but their guns for sale still have nice accessories - good optics, bipods, grips, etc. They don't like to put stuff on the wall that has all of the good stuff stripped off. You can sometimes find a steal on something some guy put a lot of money into and is bored with it now.

In most cases, yes. Except for some firearms that are no longer being made new and one has to buy them used.

The problem with gunbroker is the same that has happened to eBay - too many dealers and too few individual sellers. I know ebay doesn't allow firearms sales, but the formula is basically the same. Ebay in particular, at least I believe, has mostly lost regular people clearing out the garage because of excessive fees. They charge you small fees for extra pics, reserve price, etc, then something like 10% of what it sells for, then, another small percentage for using Paypal. It adds up and is pretty rough on someone just trying to sell a few things. It seems a little overpriced for the convenience. Actual auctions seem rare without some unrealistic reserve price. I used to look there for things, but almost never even bother now.

I have been buying 20 plus guns a year for the last few years. I avoid auctions because there's no fun in them. The hunt and the haggling over price is where the fun is.
I go to three pawn shops on a regular bases and five others simi regular. I also go to local gun shops.
I will buy from a individual locally as long as I can run the SN# first. Picked up a Ruger 357Mag New Model Blackhawk in good shape for $60 last year from a guy that got a DWI and needed money.
