I've now purchased four off the internet two from Auction arms and two off e-bay before they closed down gun sales. Was very happy with all four purchases. Got me a real nice 99.9% condition Dan Wesson 15-2 target pistal pack in 357. Came with four barrels, 2",4",6" & 8". Two sets of grips, 16 front sights, carry case, belt buckle, tool etc. Has ajustable trigger pull and hammer on it. Paid $395 for it with shipping etc. Was offered $750.00 the day I picked it up at my FFL.
Also picked up a Browning B-80 that was made in 1976 new in the box. Paid what the retail was in 76.
What I have been doing is having the seller take the gun to their FFL to hold. I then have my FFL send the check to his FFL with instructions to his FFL to hold the check until my FFL receives the gun. (what a mouth full). My FFL is also a gunsmith, so I have him check it out. All this generally runs me about $50 bucks, but some real good deals can be found off the net.
I usually buy from our local gun dealer, but on occasion I find that one good deal that I can't pass up. When I go to sell, I always sell it through our local on consignment.
Hope this helps.
