GunMuse Reopens Free Gun Auctions

January 2, 2005 -- When asked how much damage was done by taking it offline for so long he responded: " Damage is a relative term in the online market. We were never seeking income from the auctions. We will put back up our old software for the time being which has self-promoting technology built into each auction. Although that version of our technology is over a year old and it took 4-7 days for an auction to be found by people searching from their desktops (A quantum leap in technology even today) but our new Firebase Software has even faster technology that could have an online auction inside of Yahoo in 48 hours.

I have allocated $30,000 in development and integration of auction software that will allow firearm retailers to just add items to their websites for sale in their online catalog and our auction at the same time, allowing for a dual promotion effort with only one input of the data. Also a closing sale on the auction would remove it from the catalog at the same time preventing possible over sales of inventory. I will allocate more money to speed up development if we see lots of activity in that area.

Auction sites are very hard to promote because there is a "hump" that needs to be gotten over. You have to have guns for sale to get users to browse and you have to have users to get guns to sale and be posted. It's a catch-22 for an online start-up. The good news is we have 80,000 people a day at GunMuse and all we will have to do is get reasonable dealers to posted product. Used guns sell best at when started at trade-in cost."

GunMuse will be running hundreds of promotions with the release of their new free website software in early January which they expect to see 12-18 million viewers on for the New Year.

To place an item for auction register on their auction site:
