Damn sure this Gunbroker Seller is a FraudCame across this Ruger No.1 on gunbroker, I was interested. I looked at his Rating (A5). Looked at the ratings; The heads-up for me was four of the five are from the 15th of June (yesterday),. One guy called him a scammer as he wanted to be paid by Zelle, etc. I believe the other four are him under different Gunbroker accounts. Payment method===> Paypal I notified gunbroker Two hours ago and his ad is still up as legit. He has several other guns for sale. However, he has been a trusted seller on gunbroker since 12 June 2021===> Last Saturday!. I debated putting this here, we might be able to fill the classifieds with gunbroker frauds... Just did not want anyone here to get burned by some A$$hat. Thanks, Jerry https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/903322621His feedback; https://www.gunbroker.com/a/feedback/profile/6729731

Unless you are a FFL dealer it is simply not worth selling or buying anything on GB anymore.

Extremely easy to find plausible sellers on GB. One glance at that description or any of the others posted on here in the last few days and I wouldn’t even remotely think about bidding.

Thanks for the info. The good thing is that if someone searches for that username, they may find this thread and save themselves from being scammed!

I'd also beware of any of the four reviewers that gave him an 'A' feedback, as they are probably him under different accounts;
1.) Lewisandlewis; who has an A10 review rating, all as a buyer
2.) Cgj2021; who is no longer a registered user at Gunbroker
3.) Steventoomeypp; Who Lo and behold got his one 'A' feedback rating from BarbaraTanner
4.) BarbaraTanner

Not to mention.. two of those feedbacks are from two different folks buying the exact same sidearm on the same day. And another auction was for a Python for $1,200 Buy Now? Come on meow.

GB is full of Shill Bidders and has been for a long time. I did the buy it now always if the price was reasonable, did not want to get in a bidding war with a Shill.
