GB is the Ebay of firearms sales.
When you have nationwide exposure, there's sure to be at least one guy out there that either "has to" have it for a collection or whatever reason, or an idiot that just pays too much. Certainly good for the seller.
Not to get OT too much, but GB would be a much better place if they started charging for listings at some point. I've got a couple of items I'm looking for on a "watch" list, and there's one yahoo that has several of these items on ONE day auctions at a ridiculous price.... So, they keep popping up on email notifications, every single day- for FOUR months now. If this guy had to pay for these re-lists, he'd drop his price to a level where someone might actually buy them... Anyway, GB rant over, sorry had to get that off my chest!
Pawn shops, or FTF if legal in your area.
Even the LGS's here seem to have ridiculous ideas of what used firearms are worth, and they won't come off them. Which, is why they don't seem to last long before their doors close.
It's hard for them to compete on price against online sales, and most aren't smart enough to offer enough "value" in terms of service or other incentives for customers to justify the higher prices of the "brick and mortar" stores.
Like anything else, know the value of what you want, and be prepared to walk away.
