Online Guns Auctions - The Best Kept Secret in the Firearms Industry?

Online gun auctions offer a tremendous opportunity for gun buyers to compare, price shop, and purchase firearms without ever leaving the house.

(PRWEB) September 13, 2004 -- For the last few years, the gun industry has quietly been changing. More and more Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealers and private citizens have started selling their firearms through online auctions instead of a traditional brick and mortar gun store.

How popular are online gun auctions sites? Gunbroker, one of the larger online gun auctions sites, reports nearly 100,000 completed firearms auctions a month with a total monthly sales volume exceeding $1.7 million.

Why go to an online gun auction to buy a firearm? Well, for savvy gun buyers, it offers a tremendous buying opportunity through:

- Selection -- No gun store in existence today will ever come close to having the product selection that is available at online gun auctions.
- Convenience -- Rather than going to every gun store within 10 miles to compare models and prices, customers can review and compare hundreds of available guns while sitting at their computer.
- Discount pricing -- Heres the best reason of all. Sellers at online gun auctions dont have the overhead that a traditional brick and mortar gun store will have. As such, these sellers at online gun auctions can afford to offer guns at a much lower price. In some cases, these savings can be as much as 15% to 20% less than normal retail pricing.

Many potential gun buyers often ask if its legal to buy firearms this way? To ensure compliance with ATF and state regulations regarding the sale and transfer of firearms, most online gun auctions use a system where the sale can only completed through a verified FFL holder. The larger online gun auctions have a pre-approved network of FFL dealers who participate in their gun auction program.
