Purchasing from Gunbroker

[GH-16]

I've always been very cautious when it comes to gun broker or any online site for that matter.

My main issue with buying on GB is the taxation issue. There's just something that rubs me wrong when GB automatically tacks on your states sales tax to the final price of the item when they aren't the seller & only an intermediary of the transaction. With Colorado's newly enacted 6.5% excise tax for gun purchases on top of the regular tax this now puts just under 10% taxation on a gun purchased off GB. Then when you add in shipping & FFL transfer fee's, this can get expensive pretty quick.

Due to this state having universal background checks the FFL transfers fees can now be as high as $150.00. I just bought a gun off of GB & when all the dust settled, I ended up with just shy of a grand added to the purchase price of the gun from a private seller. Buyer be Ware!!
