    I have been buying a few from there. The buyer premium frosts me, when I know they are hitting their selling customer hard too, and the buyer premium affects the final bid.

    I get some decent buys on occaision and have limited which auction places I buy from.

    Occaisionally I have an oh crap! Moment and win something I preferred I hadnt. Have a pretty poor LC Smith coming.

    Premiums steer me back to Gunbroker. Though the shill bidding is obvious.

    I have gotten a few things, that needed a little smithing. Have an 80+ year old gentleman acquaintance who loves to dig into them.

    Any Proxibiddera have some tips?

    Had never heard of it.

    Not sure if anyone would deal with NY gun laws though.

    It is a nationwide online auction source. Most auction businesses now offer online bidding prior to and during auctions.
    Online bidders are competing with on site bidders. I use it for firearms purchasing sometimes.

    No mention of NY on buying info, but many auction places state they won’t ship to California.
