It's all I can do not to buy this just to sit on it.

$2795 starting bid. Might be a sleeper and sell with just one bid...

Heck of a deal at the opening bid, even with GunGouge fees. Of course, it's trivial to circumvent them.

SN 090 for the record, cool to see such a low one out in the wild.

My aging eyes! Good spot, and thank you for the correction! I've updated the thread title accordingly.

With their fees, GunBroker can eat a bag of Dicks.

Might better check them sales out. They haven’t had a review in 12 months. I’d be a little worried myself.

It goes without saying; just call the seller directly.

But yeah, dickbag they shall eat.

Tis a good call, for sure.

It's not a ridiculous price. It's reasonable at opening.

They have the "FFL" badge, but your advice is definitely sound. Call them up and bend somebody's ear.

Why do you guys hate GB, are they suppose to work for free 🤔 they have millions of postings, servers to maintain and you don't think they are entitled to a free to turn a profit.

Silly...

I owned one of, if not thee, first 9mm Brimstone. It was documented as a prototype and shot great, it was either 068 or 086, can't remember

Good looks.

Their Facebook page does seem legit. Again, buyer should always exercise caution and call on the phone.

That's why you call the dealer who has the ad on gunbroker, and make the deal outside of it with no fees. Has worked for me

I don't hate GB. They are required by state laws to collect sales tax. They do incur a cost in doing so. I get it.

I do wish they would just add a fixed surcharge instead of a percentage one.

Paying them $20 or more to collect and remitt the sales tax is silly.

Just add $5 or so to each sale.

Thats not how sales tax works....not even close. It is the sellers responsibility to collect it and submit it first of all. Secondly it depends on the sales tax rate where you are, that rate is a percentage of the purchase price. Adding $5 to each sale isnt gonna cut it.

If you want to be upset, be upset with the feds and the states that pushed this through. Its not like GB just suddenly decided to do it. Sales tax is charged on ALL internet sales to the folks in the states that have joined this movement.

I was referring to the 1% surcharge GB adds to cover collection and remittance of the sales tax, not the actual sales tax.

It doesn't cost them any more to collect/remitt sales tax on more expensive sales. Why charge more? A flat fee makes more sense.

The sales tax is set by the state the buyer resides in.
