Recently one of our customers was in a forum here posting about his new firearms and showing them off.
There was some excitement in the thread when someone noticed we included language in some of our auctions that we may charge a transfer fee for Gunbroker guns sold by us to customers who then would take transfer in the shop.
Frankly, we never charged that fee in the shop in those circumstances, though the language was there. It is not my intention to argue for or against the policy, or for or against the folks here commenting on it. We try to be considered and not make choices arbitrarily, and not make them out of disdain for the customer, but to try to continue to do business as a small business in a besieged and regulated industry.
The above thread got us to have this discussion again, and reconsider the reasons we have the policy. We have decided to withdraw the policy and will strike the language from gunbroker listings moving forward.
I wanted to post our response to that discussion here since some folks may not go back to that and see our response. Also because we want the Maryland Shooters community know we value your feedback.
