My $0.02 worth:
I do a lot of buying from the on-line sites like Gun Broker, and mikeej99 does some of the best pictures out there. Hes one of the few sellers who put up sharp photos that show what I need to see to make an offer/no offer decision.
His descriptions are clear, concise, and more accurate than most I see.
He usually asks top dollar for what he sells. When he buys, he is also willing to pay top dollar for what he wants. Hes able to sit on a gun until he gets what he wants for it. All of this is his business, and he can do exactly as he pleases.
Ive bought guns from him, and will likely buy more. He has always met all the commitments he has made to me.

Yup, one gun out of 529 in the last four months. And, Kyrie, you are absolutely wrong about the pictures. They are terrible. Yesterday, I bought a gun on Gunbroker from a seller who didn't know his ace from first base, but his pictures were so good I didn't even call him about the gun, I just bid and bought it.

GunBroker and Auction arms are auctions. For ridiculous prices, go to Guns International. I know of more than one dealer who has had guns on there for over two years.

So you know more about what I can see in pictures than I do? That's weird :-)

OK, OK Mikeej99 has the right to conduct business as he sees fit If you do not like his pictures, prices, pieces, and other P words, do not buy it, but he has the right to conduct business as he sees fit. Sure glad hunting season is here !! How is that for an attitude? Soon we will have to get Doublegun to vote on what can or can not be placed on GunBroker.

Troll? Really? Seems to me the man enjoys owning all those guns and doesn't want to part with them unless he gets an offer too good to refuse. His guns, his prerogative to ask and get whatever he can for them. I'm not seeing harm in this.
If seeing his guns offered continuously for a long time ranks as a problem, life must be good pretty darn good.

Is it accurate to call a gun "Minty" when the barrels are patina, the buttstock is scratched, the triggerguard and forearm escutcheons have almost zero blue remaining, and the case colors are 50% at best, and completely gone on the underside of the action? The auction description says 90%+ Case Colors. Really? He admits this "Minty" gun has an ill fitting replacement buttplate. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=504006904I'd like to know so that I can use the same condition criteria with a clear conscience when the time comes to sell some of my guns. Perhaps this gun was wiped down with peppermint oil, hence the "Minty" description??? I wonder also, how many here would be content to attend a farm, auto, machinery, or art auction where the same items were put on the block for years without selling?
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

Ahhh, a poster with a brain..........and good eye sight. 1.)mikeej99 makes ed good look like the Salvation Army on pricing. 2.)mikeej99 has the worst pictures on gun broker next to "sly". Dark, one sided views only etc. 3.)mikeej99's phony props and pool table with billiard balls and books doesn't fool anybody with a brain, all b.s. 4.)BUT....there is an ass for every seat...so knock yourself out. I called the guy once and he was extremely rude....and that was over six years ago....I would not buy anything from this seller. Best,
Doug
