GunBroker Warning
I just stumbled across a guy that is offering penny auctions on GunBroker but then jumping in as a shill bidder to run the prices up. The "company" offering the items is called "Realonlineauction" and the shill bidder's name is "Kip52". A couple of weeks ago I tried to buy a stock for a Mauser rifle only to be outbid by this Kip52 person. Then, a few days later the same stock shows up under another auction number! There are enough identifying marks on the stock to be certain it is the same one and, the guy was stupid enough to misspell "Sweedish" both times! I have filed a complaint with GB so he may be gone in a few days, but I did not want anyone from the PP family to get rooked by the guy! Caveot Emtor!

Burn the fire.

Happens with all auction sites, sadly. Thanks for the heads' up - I was going to start shopping accessories for my hi-point 995.

Fortunately, I've only been selling lately.
