Most active auction site for gun related items? (Read 2707 times)

1878 Ex Member	Most active auction site for gun related items? Aug 9^th, 2008 at 11:47am	Print Post
	I would like to ask about auction sites: I am not in business, but I have some non-single shot gun related items I would like to sell, like a CZ 75 .22 conversion kit. In the past I have used (but disliked) EBAY for such transactions. For better or worse they were the largest market and appeared to generate the best prices on things like moulds, sights, misc. parts, etc.. Now in addition to their firearm part restrictions of last year, they are requiring sellers to accept PayPal, which looks like double taxation to me. So where to go, to sell such things? I have had an Auction Arms membership for several years, but when I looked recently that site appeared almost dead. Any suggestions? As I said, I am not in business, but I will be moving soon and it is time to clean the closet out.

	I have used GunBroker.com for both buying and selling and it has been a pretty good site. Their tutorials are helpful and listing items for sale is easy. They also seem to have a strong following, so your items should get some attention there.

	Gunbroker.com seems to have the most action. Auctionarms is second best in my opinion. I have bought guns through both sites. Gunbroker seems to have more listings. Gunsamericia is a distant third as for as I am concerned. I check all three almost daily to see what is out there and to keep up on prices.

	check out GUNSINTERNATIONAL.COM They are not an auction. They are a gunshow on the internet ! sellers list what they have . buyers contact them directly. NO MIDDLEMAN INVOLVED. you can make offers, try trades.... well just the same as you would at a gunshow. SPECIAL OFFER : got something to sell ? You can list it free for 90 days. if you can't find the category you need, call them and tell them tom said maybe they should add it. and they probably will! list as many items as you want to sell. no charge for the first 90 days. then they hope you'll join. pay a flat $5.00 up front and the item runs till sold or you remove it. check themout, you'll be glad you did. and remember, "tell 'em tom sent you "

	From a sellers point of view here's how I'd rank them: #1 GunBroker (Auction) - The leading site based on buyer and seller activity. High seller fees, which may be reflected in minimum bid prices. #2 GunsAmerica - has added an auction option but most firearms are not sold via an auction. Lower fees allows seller to offer better deals than on GunBroker or AuctionArms. Dealers selling here are more likely to accept lower offers. #3 AuctionArms (Auction) - Similar fee structure as GunBroker but much less activity. Wayne
