Personally speaking I have tried to do a service to my fellow INGO members and offer them first shot at anything I have to sell at prices below those I list on Gunbroker and am now told I have to pay $360 a year for that "privilege”. Being a very small FFL dealer specializing in transfers I do not sell enough to warrant that kind of “advertising cost” while other non licensed individual are continually holding so called group buys on INGO and raking in the bucks with no licenses and zero overhead costs.

Ninety percent of my customers are from Gunbroker so that site must be offering people some value for their money or they wouldn’t keep buying there. I can make another ten dollars on a LPK by selling on Gunbroker vs. selling locally to INGO members so why do I want to pay thirty dollars a month for that privilege? Maybe the storefront dealers sell enough to cover this cost but not us little guys. The way I see it no longer listing on the classified page INGO members will be paying more and I will be making more.

As people try to explain to the members crying about high prices on Gunbroker.com or the INGO Classified Section, you don’t have to buy it if you don’t like the price. If people are abusing the INGO site by constantly reselling guns at a profit they are running a business without a business license and are not collecting IN sales tax. If they are selling guns on a regular basis they are probably also putting themselves in a precarious situation with the BATF by conducting a gun selling business without having a FFL.
