Just scrolled through the prices - looks like many are well on the way to retail plus pricing - especially with a 15% buyers premium and a $10 transfer. Hopefully, I can log in and watch them go above my price range. lol!
Got it....feel free to resume your normal bidding habits...LOL
Gunbroker has always been full retail (with a few exceptions) but, it seems really high lately with Asking Prices way above fair market value (with fees and shipping included) and those auctions that do sell - sell strong. For example, that CS9 we bid on ended up at $555 (plus $30 shipping, your FFL fee and mailing a check or a CC fee).
I tend to only follow S&W semi's and revolvers and some WWII bolt action stuff so my exposure is limited. Granted, I picked up a new M&P 2.0 5" for $405 (fees included) and the 1911 will end up to be $650 in my hand but I am finding it much harder to get "a deal". I'm sure that AR's and the like are soft, though AK's seems pretty strong again.
What do you think? Are prices continuing to trend upward? If they pass nationwide CCW, will there be no CS9's ever to be bought for a fair price again? Will they ever sell that 3906 for $1100?
Bidding on anything outside a day to auction close just draws attention to it, IMO. I generally limit my searches to stuff under 48 hours to go. Anyone ever picked up a used S&W from CDISales on gunbroker?

I never understand people that bid and bid days before an auction end. Great if you are the seller - but I'm generally a buyer.
CDISale - I haven't but I know some that did. It was a 5906, I believe. Cosmetically a little rough but was tight and a good shooter, as I recall.

I like the idea of picking up something from CDIsales that's got a lot of finish wear (and thus hopefully cheaper) to try a cerakote project on a 3rd gen. Been thinking it over a lot recently actually.
Cerakote and 3rd gen in the same sentence sounds like sacrilege to me. Must be trying hard to get your 3rd gen card revoked by club vote.

I took my third generation Smith out to the range this evening. It is a 5903, nonadjustable sights, and a former police trade in. The pistol functioned flawlessly, I put about 50 rounds of steel cased ammo through it. I have long thumbs. They hit the decocker a few times, besides that it was a nice experience. I placed an order at Copper Custom for a California Highway Patrol 4006, I still have not gotten it and have been told that the CHP is having trouble transitioning over to the M&P. If anyone here is interested in my 5903 shoot me a pm, I have been thinking about selling it.
I've been hearing great things about those CHP 4006's people have been getting. Appears most are TSW's.

That's a tough call...I ALMOST bought a cosmetically trashed 5906 once and ALMOST thought about doing it in FDE...almost...

Buying a Model 39-2 a while back is what got me back on a Third Gen kick.
I figured you'd be buying that 6906 with 9 mags on the SW forum...

I bought a 1911 Billboard and SW 1500 .243 this week and then yesterday my 12 year old BMW decide to succumb to illness of which the cure cost as much as its value. So, I am car shopping instead of gun shopping (unless that ANIB 3906 comes along....).
Anyone have a late model Grand Cherokee or Silverado for sale?!
