Thread: GunBrokerNZ

Bloody good, best'o luck.

I note that giving your FAL details are a required part of the signup process. How are you cross checking to make sure the firearms licence details are accurate and match that user. Or is that on the seller to make sure the buyer is genuine.

Also, as a requirement of the site is a FAL, why would one be required to buy apparel, knives, archery items etc.

You also need to go through your Teams page, you need to add the website name in a few more areas, it just says "co.nz" in several places.

Sorry, not having a go at you or the good work you have done on this.

I left the FAL bit blank when I clicked on next it took me back to the expiry date so I made one up but left the number blank.
I dont think you have to give any more than that if your not buying firearms.
@Double Shot good on you for taking some initiative. I wish you the best of luck and will be listing some items ASAP.

It's a good idea for NZ to have a gunbroker site, the gunbroker.com site is huge in the states.

It's basically a mini ebay there.

The implementation will be key, and personally I don't think a FAL should be required on sign up. To buy or sell guns, then a FAL should be required if buying online and direct links to the dealer network are established. The method of personal sighting should also be adopted.

If it's intended to be a gun only site, with only FAL holders able to sign up, the market place will be small and the forum caters really well for that already.

I would also like to know how the data is being secured with regards to user names, and FAL info.
