Is there a way to find out how much something has sold for on GunBroker in the past?
I'd like to get a feel for the market before I list something.
Thanks
Dean

  Just go here and click on the "Closed Items" tab: http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/SearchForm.aspx
  
  You must be logged in on the auction side to view closed items.

  I think that's supposed to be "completed items".
  
  As mentioned, you have to have an acct with GunBroker.com to log in and use this feature. (Its free).
  
  When you do search, I suggest sorting your search by "highest number of bids first" (using the "sort by" tab at the bottom).
  
  That way you'll see what actual people have been bidding and what the items have actually been selling for (ie rather than "wishful thinking" listings by sellers asking more than the market can bear at the moment).
  
  
  Edit:

  Honest, not trying to be a wiseacre, but these things aren't always as easy/obvious as they "should" be. I clicked on the above link actually looking for a "closed actions" link, thinking maybe it was some new feature I'd never seen before. . .nope.
