| I am just wondering what you guys think about being able to track your online firearms purchases, what you would think about streamlining the whole process of buying a firearm online for example, being able to pay at the same time you choose to purchase your firearm and not having to pay shipping or FFL transfer fees, AND creating a user interface on our site making it much easier for members to buy and sell used firearms between other members. Thanks for your feedback! |

I can track my purchases I have to pay for my purchase at the time of check out how will you transfer the Firearm you still need a FFL in between (if you do a FTF in the same State not) but if you are sending Firearms you still need the FFL for this process but other than that I have to say I am confused and not really understanding what you are trying to communicate perhaps it is late I am just not getting it |

| Good question, we have agreements with local FFL holders across the country to waive their transfer fees for guns purchased on our network. As far as our idea of tracking an order, we have it set up so that you can see on our website, oh my order has been sent to the warehouse for fulfillment, now my order has been shipped to my FFL, and finally I can go pick my order up from my FFL today. this eliminates that time you have to spend waiting for a call to come pick up your firearm. |

there is the possibility to be able to track purchases online for web based purchases. I actually developed a program to do such for 'in network' suppliers. The problem was that getting the FFLs to post pics or even somewhat accurate descriptions of their goods was nearly impossible, thus leaving the buyers to have to wonder what they were looking at.
tracking: easy posting inventory: even easier (even with Global Pawn users) posting ANY kind of realistic data on merch: nearly impossible. If I read you correctly; its a good idea; just difficult to get dealers and individuals to post pics and/or give accurate info... this kinda killed it for me. |
| The pics of new guns are already loaded onto our website, and as far as pictures of used guns go, we have a program that encourages people to upload their own pictures of used guns, to put them into an area of their profile called the "Gun Locker" letting them even show their network friends what they shoot. |
