Thread: GunBrokerNZ

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.

Cheers C.

I have registered (I think) and am waiting for the next step so I can validate (I think). Technophobe much Rushy?

Cheers @Rushy, seems Spark are being a bit of a bother, I'll manually validate you now...

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

Well done Craig

Good on you Craig.

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.

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