    4 Stars AuctionArms vs. GunBroker.com 03/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Selection, service and fair treatment

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Minor issues only - unimportant if you're a serious buyer

    These are the two main sites for buying firearms in the USA. While one reviewer seems to have issues with AA, as a seller and buyer, my experience has been very positive. It appears that the site owner does just about everything, which can be good and bad. However, if and when problems develop, you know you're dealing with the head honcho. How many other sites can claim that? No real problems and an easy site to navigate. Some people want fancy, with all the bells and whistles. Gun buyers want to buy guns - period. Who cares about color schemes or layout, etc? I want to see the guns! And it's ... more

    1 Star Gunbroker.com is Terrible 16/07/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Ebay Clone For Firearms

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No Real Customer Support - No Buyer Protection - Generally Not User Friendly

    Gunbroker.com absolutely sucks. As I see it there are five major issues with gunbroker.com. The first is the storage of your personal credit card information and the incredibly cumbersome process of terminating your own account and having that information removed from the gunbroker.com database. Second is the misclassification of merchandise within the various listing categories. To me there is just way too much junk and spam listings cluttering up the legitimate listings. Even in the legitimate listings sellers are not require to communicate that products being sold are used rather than new ... more

    1 Star AuctionArms.com is less desireable than the alternatives 04/08/2011

    Advantages Advantages Hard to think of any that remain.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Arrogant customer service, egotistical management.

    Auction Arms always purported themselves to be the best site. It was. It has now degraded to one where there is little care for it's customers, and there actually seems to be disdain for the smaller ones. Buyers, who are actually the customers of the sellers, not the site, are treated OK, but if they have a problem, it is very hard to get anyone to help you, especially if anywhere near a holiday or weekend, as AA seems to be a kitchen table outfit, run with minimal staff and resources. If you are a seller, the actual customer of AA who pays them, you get even less attention to problems. They ... more

    5 Stars Auction Arms is great . . . gunbroker.com sucks 05/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages simple and easy to navigate and search, great customer service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none that i see

    auction arms gets five stars in my book. on the other hand beware of gunbroker. Because, if your counting on getting what you bid on at gunbroker don't get your hopes up too high. I was the only bidder on a Ruger PC9, man i been looking for a good deal on one of those for over a year, and i won it for 400 bucks plus 20 bucks in shipping ... i was about to dance a jig, when I got the results saying i won, thenTonyltd, the seller, told me he sold it out of his shop. The auction was still active and there was nothing in the listing saying that he reserved the right to end the auction early; but ... more

    5 Stars Great firearms Auction site 19/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great variety and easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many neat things, too little money

    This site is outstanding. They got started when E-bay ill advisedly decided to ban firearms on their site. There are literally thousands of new and used firearms to browse and bid on. Real bargains are available and the site is very well laid out and user friendly. I was able to find some rare .50 70 ammo on the site and they have a constantly changing set of items to view. You can also look at closed items and get some idea of what like items are worth. Registration is a snap and their use of processing a small one-time registration fee sure seems to keep fraudulent sellers and buyers away. I ... more

    Advantages Advantages NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages GOOD PLACE TO GET RIPPED OFF

    A CURRENT SITUATION WITH AA (12/30/2007). I BOUGHT A GUN ON AA AND THE SELLER REQUESTED THAT I SEND PAYMENT TO A PERSON OTHER THAN HIM. I NOTIFIED AA ABOUT THE FRAUDULANT SITUATION BY EMAIL. BOB LANCASTER, Executive Vice President OF AA TOLD ME TO WORK IT OUT WITH THE SELLER. HE THEN FORWARDED MY EMAIL TO THE SELLER. THE SELLER WAS OUTRAGED THAT I NOTIFIED AA OF THE TRANSACTION. BOB, EVP. THEN ACCUSED ME OF BUYERS REMORSE. I HAD 40 ALL A+ FEEDBACKS ON AA AND THE SELLER HAD 4. I REQUESTED AA GIVE ME THE SELLERS ADDRESS AND SOME KIND ASSURANCE THAT I WOULD NOT GET RIPPED OFF AND THEY REFUSED TO ... more

    1 Star Very poor site to waste your time 04/09/2005
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no design and navigation. Just a few offers and not costumer friendly

    I am proud of having the possibilty to buy a weapon. I think that is something everybody should be able to and it is a great thing in the USA. You feel a lot safer with a gun at home. I´ve looked in the local gun stores but could not find anything for which reason I´ve rechecked the internet for some good offers. I´ve looked up the web for the main gun auction sites and don´t know why this site has been rated that well here. It is a very poor commercial site. No design. No navigation.In fact Im surprised that anybody is selling or buying there. I think there are a lot better ways to waste your ... more

    5 Stars Auction Arms, a great little site 20/06/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages brings together buyers and sellers of hard to find merchandise

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some dishonest people on the site

    Here in America, we still have the right to own certain firearms. Auction Arms allows us to search for something we may want to purchase. Before you begin to think this website is just a place filled with guns and illegal transactions, let me explain to you the laws that govern these sales. Here all sales MUST go through Federally Licensed Firearms Dealers. Not just anyone can get these licenses, generally a few people, and gun stores have them. In order to purchase a firearm from Auction Arms, you must first win at the auction, then you must line up a Federally Licensed Firearms Dealer to ... more
