I have sold a holster and a Model 12 Magazine tube, but they ended my auction of a standard Glock 19 magazine. For now I'm stuck with the magazine but otherwise I'm pleased with Ebay.

So if you wanna posture as a "pro gun individual" and whine "about negative treatment by the antis," the same "antis" you knowingly elected to patronize, you seriously need to re-think your position on one issue or the other! You thought that you were okay on eBay by playing by their rules? Now perhaps you can take this as an object lesson, and learn the same hard way that "Papa Bill" Ruger did when he proposed the draft legislation limiting magazine capacities to 15 rounds... and five years later had the Crime Bill stuffed up his and our collective fundamental orifice!


You are right,, "you ain't my kind" either. My kind does not attack other pro gun individuals.

If you will look back, what is the thread subject again, boycott ebay. You attack me for using ebay when I am posting about boycotting them in the future. I did elect to use them, but now I have come back stating my mistake and expressing contempt for their policies. And yet, you continue the attack on me.

I just figured it out. You must be a troll from the DU, just over to try and turn gun enthusiasts against each other. Now it all make sense...

I am out-
 
WTR -

Dean Speir is not a "troll from DU" - he's a former gun magazine writer and he runs one of the more informative webzines/gun related web sites out there.

In any case, are there other online aution sites that we can use?
 
Mark,

Understood about the other sites. I am a member and have sold items at AA and Gunbroker, obviously here as well. Trust me, I will not go back to ebay. That was my whole point.

My other point was we, being pro-gun, need to stick together. If we turn on ourselves, we are done, and the antis have won.

...but we really can't just jump on a bandwagon everytime someone has a pet peeve about something. We show a real lack of judgement about issues and you might as well just stick the fork in us.
 
Ebay is just trying to be in the business of making a profit.
Damn them and their crazy capitalistic views!! :D

Ebay isn't neccesarily anti-gun. They have a whole category called GUN ACCESSORIES. It's under the category called HUNTING. Under GUN ACCESSORIES are AMMUNITION MAGAZINES, BARRELS, CASES, GRIPS, HOLSTERS and a few others.

They just don't want the liability of dealing with actual firearms. Why weren't you using Gunbroker, anyway? Then you expect eBay to know something about AR15 uppers and you scream at them like they're stupid. That's be like me screaming at you because you couldn't properly format a TPS report. Why weren't you using Gunbroker, anyway?
 
On top of the fact they are incorporated in california, most of their guidelines are based off of california state law. If they were incorporated in delaware or idaho or new hampshire, maybe they would be more friendly to firearms selling. Its no small feat to run a company like that and trying to comply with 50 state govt's 1 fed govt, and at least a whole lot of large city govts. Also they are moving into the international arena more. It wont be easy for them to comply with all the laws. I am predicting that since the un doesnt look to kindly to small arms, they wont be selling small arms officially internationally either. Maybe someone who uses international ebay in germany or canada can let us know?

Yes, your kind most certainly does. :scrutiny:

Your kind also seems to have difficulty honoring rules that they voluntarily agreed to.
 
well... that's about enough of that. :scrutiny:

4.) Spamming, trolling, flaming, and personal attacks are prohibited. You can disagree with other members, even vehemently, but it must be done in a well-mannered form. Attack the argument, not the arguer.
