I've purchased several guns on Gunbroker. I've only had 1 issue and it was UPS's fault, not the seller's. They lost the gun. They found it but it was damaged. They ultimately refunded 1/3 of what I paid, which the seller passed on to me as I took the gun anyway. The damage was so minor it didn't matter.
Besides watching feedback and asking questions, and knowing what you'll be paying in transfer fees, be sure that you know what the gun sells for locally. To me, if the price difference is $25 or less, it's not worth going through Gunbroker. Sometimes, though, especially with a used gun, you can get a really good deal. Other times you might find something on GB that you can't find locally. Of all the guns I've gotten on there, I've yet to pay even close to retail.
