GB does have a feature that allows you to see a complete list of auctions whether they were sold or not. Go to advanced, select "Completed Items" put whatever you are looking for in the "Search Words" box and then search. This brings up completed auctions and you can see what sold and what didn't and for how much.

I send a weblink to an online ad for a new gun that is less i I recognize such a situation and then make an offer. Usually the person is not responsive, but occasionally I get a positive response. I often find they were absolutely ripped off by a local store and based on what they paid what they are asking isn't that out of line.It gets even worse when I look at the prices that people are asking for used guns on local sales sites. I see people on gun forums talking all the time about the great deals they got on used guns and I would not be surprised if at least 3 out of 5 ads I see are asking more used that I can buy new online and the sellers actually act offended if offered what I consider a decent used price.

This post is why I took a jab at you.Gunbroker makes signing up a bit of a hassle -- they really, really, REALLY want to discourage schmucks from making shill, junk accounts to throw random bids up that have no intention of follow-thru.
Imagine the mayhem if it was EASY to quickly make a Gunbroker account. You could just jack up 10 auctions to be obnoxious or, well, for any reason... and that act would damage the seller AND the previous/current high bidder.
