I have purchased quite a few items from Auction Arms for the past 3 years and have not had any problems at all. I have also purchased items from [url]Gunbroker.com[/url] and [url]GunsAmerica.com[/url] for the last 3 years. I have had problems from time to time with GunsAmerica because of the heavy traffic. That could be the problem with Auction Arms. As of matter of fact AR15.com has had its problems as well as AK47.com and others. You just will have to be a little patient.

Anyone know anything about selling on Auction Arms?  I had an old lady on my block give me a ton of old ammo that I was gonna "get rid of" for her a few years after her husband passed away.  I really  was going to get rid of it until I went to a gun show and noticed that some of the boxes of ammo that I have are going for $80 a box and UP!!!!

I have a digital camera to take pictures with, so what do I have to do??  Is it like EBAY? They get a cut or what?  Is there a reputation system?  Anybody know of any ways I could sell this stuff???  Thanks

Auction Arms has a section for "Collectible Ammunition."  You might try listing a couple items there and see if there's interest.  You pay a small fee.  There is a feedback system, but as a seller you can't get ripped.  You send the item only after they pay you, and I would suggest insisting on m.o.'s only.  I have never had a problem, especially with "gun people."  You may have a problem drawing bidders as a new user with 0 feedbacks.  Mention in the description that you are LEO, and the circumstances that surround the situation.  That should help allay fears.  E-mail me with any specific questions, as I am very familiar with auctions, mostly as a buyer though.  I'll tell you in advance I don't know how to post pics, but it is explained on the sites.  Good luck!
