A better market for firearms?
Hi everyone, I’m a newer FFL, about 3 months in, and I’m curious if other dealers are as frustrated with the current marketplace choices as I am.
As a buyer, the search experience is, um, not great. If I search GunBroker for something like "Glock 45 Gen 5", I get 2428 listings to dig through. How do I decide? Too many choices.
As a seller, the bigger headache is compliance. Every seller is basically on their own to keep track of state restrictions, mag limits, NYC zip codes, and all the other little rules. That's annoying enough for me as one small seller, but GB has thousands of sellers dealing with the same thing. That’s a lot of duplicated human effort.
I’ve seen some people complain about Coreware. I tried GearFire, but it didn’t really work for me.
This week was pretty rough too, having to change a bunch of listings because of the July 1 mag cap change in VA.
For those of you who have been in this longer, what do you hate most about the current marketplaces?
What do you wish they handled better? Is there one that just does everything well?
