More Buyer-Paid Fees at GunBroker

[Bailey Guns]

Got this in an email. Not sure how much the fee is, exactly.

[JoeRoss]

A new fee from the new owners. Hmmmmm....

Increased fees, increase in scammers, lack of good deals, I’m done. I prefer to spend my hard earned dollars with local shops or forum members.

Amen to that, Doc. Never again for me either.

Okay, I read it and I still don't know what a compliance fee is.
Who does it go to and what does it pay for?
And, what does Gunbroker do that is called compliance?
A great big
HUH?

Probably an excuse to collect more money. Though I?m sure all the new state laws make things fun trying to see what can be shipped there or not.

I wholeheartedly agree. GB has become the land of the scalper and the financially careless, and I SO much prefer spending money and selling / trading with locals and like-minded degenerates.

I suspect they're just funding a legal team and lobbyist / PR types to act on behalf of the GunBroker business model as they see fit. Lawsuits, audits, legislation, etc...
