Seams like a pretty good deal.
Ruger American 350$
Leupold VX 3x9 230$
Mounts 12$
120$ worth of ammo
15$ case
cheap sling
I only got about 750$ worth of stuff, not over 900$ like in the article.
I think I would have set the reserve higher. Makes you think something is wrong.

Other than a few mis-spelled words, the scope is not in the rings and its backwards.

What's wrong with this gunbroker ad? The scope is "mocked up" backwards. As for the price; if it seems too low, that is the sellers problem. His reserve has been met, so he is obligated.

Give seller a call. Email if needed for their phone number
Feel comfortable before bidding.
Seller states payment Personal Check or paypal.
If you pay by personal check ask how long they hold purchase for check to clear before shipping.
The seller only has one review in past 9 months. So their not a regular seller on Gunbroker.
Everything could be great just take a moment to beware. Good luck.

He advertised it as a VX-3 in the description but the retail box says VX-1
My guess is this auction isnt going to sell anytime soon

Helluva deal if the seller is legit. I just don't think I would be willing to take the chance with only 1 feedback.

If it seems too good to be true!
See how many sales the seller has, the high bidder has?
Sumpting smell fishy to me..
Red Flags popping up.

maybe a divorced wife selling ex's stuff. I've seen an influx of women selling firearms on the facebook ads.

The gun will go for over $600 easy. Bidders will wait to the last minute even though GB has their 15 minute rule, trust me.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Ad says "will meet at store if local" so I don't see a scammer saying that.
The picture layout does match a style of a particular scammer on Armslist.
Buyer takes his chances. I have gotten some really good deals with sellers with very few feedbacks.

Even if the seller were a scam, Gunbroker will reimburse the buyer and charge the seller's credit card for the lost $$$.

I haven't, so I don't know if it is an ordeal or not. I had to do something similar on ebay a few years ago, and it was a PITA. I quit using ebay after that.
