Maybe I am the exception to the rule?
I have tried Gunbroker twice, and gotten burned twice.

First time was for rifle furniture from Numrich. Ad stated, "Excellent condition". I received a box of parts for some other firearm / some other customer. I let them know. They said, "just throw them away and we will fix it". Next box I received was furniture for the rifle, but it was nowhere near excellent condition. Te parts looked like they had been buried in a peat bog for 50 years, rinsed off and sent to me. All hardware was rusty beyond restoration. It was purchased cheap enough that I did not send it back - I just threw the box of junk in the warehouse and will let some other fool have it for secret santa or something.

Second time was for an A1 upper receiver. Again, advertised as "excellent" and "no damage - just normal wear". Received the item and found that it had been broken, from the ejection port all the way down the mag well. Somebody tried to weld it and re-black it. But it had cracked again. I had to fight this one due to cost. Gunbroker said they would not get involved in the transaction!! I ended up filing with the postmaster, and the SC Dept of Consumer Affairs, and about 4 months later I received a refund from the seller.

My experience taught me that Gunbroker is where dishonest sellers go so that they don't have to look you in the eyes while they **** you.
