Hey team,

I've spent a bit of time and money over the past 7mths getting this all sorted.

Outside of the buy sell here on NZHS there isn't much out there, well unless you enjoy the huge fees and antiquated behaviour on TM. I'm not trying to take away from NZHS, just open things up for everyone...

Please pop on over and have a look, this is for the firearms community of NZ, there are no auctions, there are contact details available, I've tried to make it a simple no fuss trading platform all the firearms community.

www.gunbrokernz.co.nz

Cheers C.

Thanks. I got in and went to read your T’s and C’s. FYI, the page kept jumping around on me. Could be a fault issue but also could be the silly old fart using it.

Thanks @Rushy, unfortunately very hard to launch without some issues, shame when outside influences are the issue though. Nevermind we are getting there.

Start listing all your excess gear chap, think @chainsaw might have a bit :thumbsup:

Looks like a good website. Hopefully the community will rally behind it.

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.

Your competing with the Govt and police at present? Could we have buy and seek days like them with beer?
Good idea Craig, hope it takes off for you, advertise it on trademe?

Site looks good, any indication what you are charging to list items, commission of fixed price? Is it only charged on success or is it a listing fee?

@Double Shot Just registered. Is there a browse feature where I can just browse through all listings without having to click specific categories etc?

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.

Same question here. Drilling down into every category to see things will get a bit tiresome.

Welcome to the new world of digital gateways, where now all of this is essentially based on your scoring with Spamhaus - and all the ISP's look to them for guidance. You'll find due to the Yahoo F up factor previously that all spark derivative email addresses non-delivery parameters have been turned right up.

Hope that might help you pinpoint the issue.

Why, how much are your fees and fees for what? Sellers fees or buyers fees? Where are these listed please.

Also your TOU really needs to be sorted out.

10. Signing up to co.nz you give the right for us to contact you regarding the site, updates and things we feel may be of interest. Your personal information will be kept safe and never sold, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

12. You will not use co.nz for any illegal purpose.
13. You indemnify and hold harmless GunbrokerNZ and all of its owners, directors, officers, employees, and agents for any and all loss, harm, damage, costs, liability, and expense caused to them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, by my use of co.nz, including but not limited to direct or indirect results of violations of any and all applicable laws.

Im not a lawyer, but Im pretty sure any lawyer will tell you your TOU/TOS is pretty important to get right. In fact I hope you have had a lawyer go over it and make sure your ass is covered from every angle.
Cheers

Need to work on getting it Google indexed, "gunbroker nz" doesn't even bring your site up as a search result. I'm going to be sly and slip "Also listed on Gunbroker NZ" at the bottom of some trademe listings but it needs to be "googleable" for that to work.
