Who was the original owner of GB or was it a group of people? How many years ago was that anybody know? Just wondering.

Steve Urvan founded GB from an idea/thought into what it is.
Thanks Joe. That's interesting it appears he's into a lot of other things also. Such as being the founder and CEO of BitRail, Outdoors.com, Digital Media, App Cohesion and Gemini Southern.
Gun Broker went into operation in February 1999, which means GB is in it's 23rd year. Steve Urvan had the idea for Gun Broker after eBay made the first of many policy changes regarding the auctioning of firearm, specific firearms parts and ammunition. One door shuts and another door opens...say hello to Gun Broker.
Although Steve Urvan was the CEO of GB, I doubt that he set everything up himself. I always found it interesting that Mr. Urvan and CaptFun are both Georgia Tech alumni.
Who the heck is CaptFun? 😀 I don't remember who said that but it was funny at the time.
And still is if you lived through that little piece of history, especially since us old farts know the exact wording of that little question. 🤣
If you've ever seen the HQ's they operate out of you'd be even more impressed 😁. Not sure if it's moved since the change of ownership ???
