Which GunBroker catagory to use???

[Galil5.56]

If you have sold C&R/Curio and Relics rifles and handguns on GB, have you had better sales listing them under:

"Firearms - Rifles - Bolt action/Semi-Auto"
"Firearms - Handguns - Automatic/Revolver"

Or

"Collectable Firearms - Curio & Relics" category

The Curio & Relics category lists all types of C&R firearms, so you can't chose a sub category such as Rifle, Revolver, etc which seems less conducive to a good sale, than it could be. I have never sold on Gunbroker, and your help is appreciated. Thank you.

I have never sold on GB. But I have purchased some. I think there is a way to get the same item listed in different categories. I have seen many times the same gun listed(same listing number) under Curio & Relics and Firearms-Handguns-Revolver-Smith&Wesson-Hand Ejector, so it must be "doable". There are lots of people who spend lots of time searching the GB listings. Personally, it is much easier to find what you are looking for if it is in a very specific category/sub-category.

I have about 350 sales in last 15 years. The more key words you put in title the better.

Just don't put a C&R eligible firearm in the C&R section and then have a note in your text that says "I don't accept C&R licenses, because, like H&K, you suck and we hate you" to paraphrase. It's one of my pet peeves. I haven't looked for about a year but I used to see them all the time.

The more accurate keywords in the title the better, but don't list a mosin and put "not k98k, mauser, 1903, springfield, glock, M&P, or schaudenfreud". Another one of my pet peeves. (I have a pet-peeve petting zoo, apparently.)

If it truly is a C&R and you'll take ship it to a C&R licensee, I'd list it there. When I'm looking for something that is C&R I generally don't look anywhere else.
