ATLANTA, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Though eBay(R) has changed its policies
 to prohibit the auction of firearm parts such as barrels, magazines and
 trigger assemblies, essentially any part involved in the firing of a gun,
 thousands of gun part auctions will continue to take place on
 GunBroker.com, the Web's largest hunting and sport shooting auction site.
     According to GunBroker.com Chief Operating Officer, Donald Hall, the
 recently-announced update to the eBay Firearms, Weapons and Knives Policy
 has already perpetuated a substantial shift of auction listings over to his
 company's site.
     "There has been a solid increase in the number of listings of all types
 of gun parts on GunBroker.com, especially in the days since the eBay
 announcement," Hall said. "We've also seen a jump in first-time visitors
 and buyers recently, and while I don't think the phenomenon is 100-percent
 attributable to eBay's withdrawal from firearms parts auctions, it
 certainly has had an impact."
     Hall said the GunBroker.com site currently features more than 200,000
 auction listings for firearms, parts and accessories, and attracts more
 than two million unique site visitors each month. The site draws all types
 of gun enthusiasts, from sporting shooters, to hunters, to law enforcement
 professionals, among others, all of whom buy and sell guns and gear in a
 safe, secure and lawful manner.
     GunBroker.com offers sellers a gun-centric bidder/buyer audience, and
 since basic listings are free, with no insertion fee, the seller only pays
 the site a fee if the item sells. In addition, Hall says that the overall
 fee structure on GunBroker.com is less-expensive than other auction sites
 as well.
     "It's a win-win-win situation," Hall said.
