With Gunbroker now requiring state sales tax collection, does anybody use GunAuction for sales? I did email them and they do not do the sales tax thing.

I've bought quite a bit over there. I don't think the get as much traffic as the other sites.
What about Guns America or Guns international?
They seem to be in the middle regarding exposure.

Is Gun Auction the old Auction Arms (IIRC)?

I've sold on Guns International. The problem is, I have a couple guns that I am not sure if the true value. I know what I would like for them but not sure of the true value.

I think it depends on the seller. I have recently bought two rifles off GI and both were thru Cabelas. Both charged my state sales tax but no shipping charge. It may have to do with whether they have a presence in your state and obviously Cabelas does.

I don't think the get as much traffic as the other sites. I haven’t looked for anything over there in years but poking around over there off and on today, I’d say that a fair statement. Unless I’m doing something wrong (and that possibility is always in play), searching for just .357 revolvers with no other filters turns up just over 1700 hits on GB and only 31 on GunAuction. I didn’t find the search tools nearly as easy or intuitive to use as GB or GI either but maybe it’s just the mobile interface. My searches were done on an iPhone and iPad. If I remember I’ll try it out on the desktop and see if there’s any improvement. |

Since this basically is now federal law as to the collection of sales taxes, I can't see the other auction sites going much longer without having to...
What irritates me is that non-dealer sellers have to collect sales tax where as if you were selling something to someone direct one would not have to.

Sadly Auction Arms had been dying a slow stead death. I used to use it as much as Gunbroker, as once upon a time they were equals.
