    Holy cow...23% premium!! Isn't that higher than the last one that was posted? Have to get things for a "steal" just to be price normal with that premium.

    How would buying a firearm as a MD resident work? They say all items must be picked up in person. Anyone bought one from one of these auctions as MD resident?

    Disregard, just saw they will ship to an FFL.

    These auctions used to be good deals. The wife and I would but stuff off of them and did well some times. Then they started advertising them on Facebook and I watched people pay more for used item than brand new ones. They get lost in the bidding and don't know when to stop. The only way to find deals any more is when they have multiples of the same items and they fight over one and ignore the others.

    I've noticed it depends where they they are located, they had one down here in St.Mary's and prices were reasonable for the equipment I bought vs one from the DC/NOVA area.

    There is a lot of labor in cataloging, taking pictures, writing descriptions and posting on the inter-tubes. Then you have to keep all of the items separated and available for easy location and pick-up by the winner. All of that costs money.
