Something to remember about shipping is the actual cost on GunBroker is unknown until the rifle/pistol/ETC gets packaged and weighed and measured and what the buyer's zip code is. In many cases the gun store will buy in batch so shipping is way lower and the gun is in a cardboard box and not a hard case like I use. The muzzle loader I just sold was to a collector in northern IL and shipping was $52 UPS ground with no extras except insurance. It got there in 4 days.

When I bought my S&W 357 magnum 8-shooter I was called and I was told the store was getting 4 of them and my name was 4th on their call list. They suggested I get there before 2:00 PM when the delivery was scheduled. I got there at 1:00 PM and the first 3 were there so I let them know I was there and there were 6 others waiting just in case! They didn't get any more for a while and I have been offered quite a bit more than I paid.
