What happened to GunBroker?
« on: December 15, 2009, 11:37:01 PM »
I tried to log onto GB tonite and had to jump through hoops to get in. They had changed my account. I also tried to contact a seller, no can do. It would help if you get some type of notice. This same crap ruined eBay for the original users. I understand they have the right to do this. It is my right to take my money elsewhere.

 I did log on yesterday & all was fine. I know some sites,(banking) do maintenance in the wee hours at times. I'm an early bird.

I went to Gunbroker yesterday and it worked just fine for me. Did anybody go thru your 'puter and delete all the history? Guy at the 'puter shop told me that long ago, so every once in awhile, I'll delete history files and run a clean up. Seems to keep my 'puter running faster. I have 2 kids that get on once in awhile and play games and it slows down. If you run a clean up it delete's some of your saved passwords and such. I have to re log in sometimes if I do this. gypsyman

They have deleted my username from my profile, I had to use my email address to log on. Same password, still works. They have also restricted user communication. This is done to save server activity [$]. I can hack this stuff but I don't feel I should have to.

               Merry Christmas

I am taking the plunge once again! Yep, we are (wife & I) are purchasing a new "Hornady Lock-N-Load" progressive press with auto case feeder and the five most used dies in calibers we shoot. This will afford us the ability to only run 300 to 500 rounds with very quick caliber changes. Something that our Dillion XL-650 does NOT do at all.

I use a single stage 'lock-n-load', the splined bushings are very handy. Midway has extras.  That turret press looks very interesting. I got a dillon 450 last century, its been a door stop for about 15 years.
