Title: Daily Gun Listings
Post by: alfsauve on January 25, 2012, 06:52:56 AM

I discovered a neat feature of Guns America last month.

You can put in a search criteria (Smith Revolvers) and they will email you every morning with all the new listings.  It's one of the first emails I open every morning.   I just wish GB and AA had the same feature.





(Oh shut up, so what if I'm the last to know.)

Gun Broker has a feature that may be similar to what you're talking about.  You have to have an account created first.  You can then define, name, and save a specific search.  Your saved searches will then have an option for receiving emails.  I've created a 'Gun Broker' folder in my email program and a delivery rule that routes all of these emails to that folder.

Thanks, JL.   As I said, I'm the last to know.

These are cool and save a lot of time, if you watching for something specific.

Alfsuave, you weren't the last to know. I had no idea myself. I love researching prices on Gunbroker. Has saved me numerous times at gun shows and gun shops when they tried to take advantage of me. One I remember distinctly was when I was selling my Intratech 9 several years ago. A gun store offered me less and I told them to look on Gunbroker.

Path, the wife says, just step a little bit closer.  You're a tad outside the range of her right upper cut.

Okay got the GunBroker one working.  Took a couple of days to start.

Today I've added AuctionArms' AUCTION RECON.

On each I've requested "new" (last 24hours) "smith revolver" listings.   it's like being a kid again and getting an FAO catalog every morning.


Now, mommy, can I have an advance on my allowance?   A   B I G  advance.
