I just checked my mail and lucky me my LB grip came in ( will post pics later)

On GunBroker, this is probably a dumb question  but why do these sellers start auctions lets say at $250 but put a reserve @$500, why start the bidding so low, I only see 1 or 2 bids per auction and have only seen 1 gun sold.

Congrat's. on the new grip.  On the GB question....setting the low opening bid with a reserve gets people in the game and interested in bidding on the item while protecting the selling price.  Basically it's annoying and wastes time.

You will enjoy LB's workman ship!   GB is something these days!   Just do a buy now or start it out at a fair price and let it go!

Dave is correct but finding a good BIN is a rare occurence. A reserve is reasonable as long as it is not more rhan the gun is worth. A starting price of more than the guns value is what bugs me.

Yes its sad when after all the fees and such a used firearm costs more than a new one.
