Holy cow, This guy has over 67000 auctions running right now. Wonder how long it took him to build up to that many, especially with over 20000 feedbacks he has had to spend quite a bit of time selling, packing and shipping[:0]

Kinda impressive actually, I wonder if he is the seller with the most auctions going right now.

    Don't see that it's working. Looked at the last closed 750 auctions listed, see 6 items sold for a total of about $250. Seems like a lot of time and a lot of space. But a lot look to be 1 day auctions, a good way to keep your items near the top. I guess it adds up over time.

    this guy was or still is big on ebay also a few years back. I think once ebay started eliminating their gun item sales he moved elsewhere. I believe he is a catalog dealer from a wholesaler and simply transposes their items on his site. I am wondering if he has all items in stock or if he orders them when the auction is won

    GunBroker would make a ton more money if they only charged a $1.00 relisting fee. [:0]

    That guy lists over 170,000 SKUS between here and eBay and Amazon and a few other places. If you had a problem with them in the past month or so, give them a call and explain. They got a new call center and have made some real improvements.

    He generally moves well more than 100 grand a month in merchandise just here on GB.

    He loves to hunt, was telling me at SHOT show about his upcoming safari.

    Well, with all due respect, that $100,000 a month & 6%-7% negative feedback means that a LOT of people are getting skinned. Most of the feedback is regarding poor inventory control. My guess is that the items on GB are also for sale on Amazon and eBay. Isn't this a no-no?

    I won't deal with some one this big for fear of out of stock, mix up, or no help if something goes wrong. Too many other customers to take my place.

    Went through the first 20 of 1350 pages and didnt see a single bid on any items listed. Must make all his money on the other 1330 pages.
    Arrivederci gigi

    didnt they have another auction name here on GB that went under?

    There was a topic on lg-outdoors and wholesalehunter here not long ago. They are the same company.

    All of their items are new in box fixed price buy now listings (so it is OK to list on multiple sites). Their software talks to ours several times a day to update inventory. Due to the number of items, it takes a while and by the time it updates again the distributor may be out of stock.

    We are working with them to improve accuracy, but when there is all out panic buying bad things are going to happen across the board and they will get hit harder than other sellers.

    I have worked with them on a number of issues and they have added a new call center and the problems from December to February should not happen again.

    Like a lot of the industry, they got tsunamied.

    I've bought reloading stuff from them. Not crazy about their shipping charges.
