I have bought a few off of GB and this would be my one bit of advice, not just to you but to anyone new to any of the auction sites, and this is it. Find a dollar amount that you are willing to pay for whatever item you are looking at and dont go over it. It is easy to get caught up in the action and find yourself justifying a few more dollars. Well those dollars can add up very quickly. Dont be afraid to let one go .

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Good thing you weren't bidding on a high dollar item, that could have ruined your gunbroker rep before it even got started.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
