Where to Post Gun Sales now
« on: April 14, 2007, 04:00:09 PM »
Hey guys,

I realize I can't post gun sales on GB forums.  I am going to obviously respect his decision.  He has a tremendous site and I love all that I have been learning on it.  I do want to sell a few guns though and if you could pm me and let me know where I could sell them without fee's and stuff but a place like this that require it to go to an FFL dealer I would appreciate it.  I have a kimber gold, Glock 37, and a limited edition Sig, and a Ruger Vaquero.  The only reason I listed them is because sometimes each type of gun has a site best suited for it.

I sincerely hope this does not go against the new rules.  If it does please delete this post but please do not cancel me off of this site.  I really do like it.  I would like a pm because I don't want to advertise other sites on this forum but I respect everyone's input on this forum.

Thanks,

Bob

Minnesota1:  Yes, there are apparently new rules in effect.  I do not quite understand the reason behind the new rules but that doesn't really matter.  If the Boss say 'no guns or ammo' can be sold over the site, then that's that - period. 

I would pm Graybeard and ask his advice as to where you might be able to do this.  I'm still at a bit of a loss as to why but I am not 'in the know' and rely on the Management of GBO to set policy and procedure.  Mikey.

If I had to guess I'd say someone did something stupid and now we all have to suffer for it.

GRIMJIM:  That may be but I'm neither going to guess at anything or pass on conjecture.  Right now the Boss says 'no', so 'no' it is.  I have a feeling this situation is shaking out and until the management has its final say I'm not going to.  JMHO.  Mikey.

Mikey as a Moderator you can see Matt's posts on the Moderator Forum that details as much as we're sharing in this matter at this time. It's a very complicated matter and we honestly do not know who the person or agency is that is giving us a hard time that resulted in the decision we've made. It is our intention to in some way restore gun and ammo sales in the near future. It will NOT be on these forums which are now on the www.gboreloaded.com domain we've owned for a long time but on the old www.graybeardoutdoors.com domain. The way we'll likely do it is via links here to there. It will really be no more complicated for you to use than it was before. Then you clicked on a link to the forum where you listed them and that's what you'll do in the future. But unlike in the past that click will take you off this forum site to yet another owned by us that will be just for firearm and ammo sales. Sorta like a separate classified just for that. Or we might set up the classifieds software we once used, dunno anymore details right now.

As to the original question I don't know if anyone site is better than another. There are rather large specialty forum sites just for Rugers and Glocks, not sure if the same can be said for Sigs and Kimbers or not. I don't know the URLs for those sites but I'm sure a search would locate them.

We'll get sales of those items back here as soon as we're comfortable doing and when Matt can make the time to do what is required.

It's just that when Graybeard puts his foot down it's usually because someone did something that he shouldn't have. I didn't mean to point fingers or complain, I apologize if this is how I came off.

Yup Normally but not this time. We (either me or Matt or both of us) has really ticked off someone with clout you cannot believe. We think it was Matt as he seems to be taking most of the heat right now in his personal life and we're quite certain that what has befallen the site is as a result of that same "someone" and their actions. We have no proof but are quite sure of it. For the moment we're kinda walking on eggshells trying to feel our way along and trying real hard not to make matters worse.

Folks who can make happen all the things that have lately are NOT anyone you want to make any more mad than they appear to already be.

20,700+ members on GBO ... I can assure you that some of us carry some pretty good clout also..
20,700+ possible solutions to the problem..
I personally know two of the best computer hackers in the US also if it is that kind of problem.

Before the weekend is over we fully expect to have restored the use of Classifieds Forums for selling guns and ammo. There will be a short form asking minimal info that you will need to fill out and electronically sign if you wish to sell guns or ammo on the site but once you've done that you'll be free to use the Classifieds to sell your guns and ammo and still at no cost to the GBO Members.
