FORT WORTH, Texas, July 16 TX-FreeAds-Website
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheaper Than Dirt, has today
locked and loaded a free public buy-sell auction and classifieds marketplace
on a new website that is allowing Americans the opportunity to legally
purchase and sell firearms, firearm accessories and more online like never
before.
At http://www.CheaperThanDirt.com, the public is invited to buy, sell and
trade guns, knives, ammunition, gun accessories, outdoor gear and other items
at no charge in the new FreeAds section. Company officials say it is filling
a void in the market, as giants such as eBay and craigslist do not accept
these type of postings, plus FreeAds does not charge any fees to buyers and
sellers. The auction-classified ads are completely free; no listing fees, no
commissions and no hidden costs. The site is also free of pop up ads and
other paid advertising.
Already at introduction, the FreeAds section of the website is featuring
thousands of offerings, ranging from one dollar items to a rare Colt 1861 Navy
antique pistol for more than $100,000. The current selection of rifles,
pistols, collector firearms, hunting arms and even legal machine guns listed
on FreeAds is more than $5,000,000, and there is also a million dollar
inventory of rifle scopes.
"Most 'gun people' have things they want to sell; a holster from a handgun
trade long ago, ammo in a caliber they don't shoot anymore, and even a
firearm. We wanted to offer a one stop shop where they could buy, sell and
trade and not feel like a criminal, and not pay any commissions or listing
fees," said Michael Tenny, founder of Cheaper Than Dirt and architect of the
breakthrough web service.
Tenny is confident that they have created "the Camelot" for America's
shooting and hunting enthusiasts, and the web marketplace will be used by
millions. In addition to buying and selling, the website is a wealth of
information for the gun community. A national roster of all gun shows, a
listing of all gun stores in the U.S., every gun range, gun club and shooting
events nationally will be on the website. A listing of every ammunition
caliber, and the internet's most extensive listing of every make, model and
descriptive terms of firearms in the past century are also on the website,
http://www.CheaperThanDirt.com, as are hundreds of firearm related articles.
SAFE AND LEGAL
Buyers and sellers using http://www.CheaperThanDirt.com follow all
government guidelines for gun and ammunition sale and transfer, and products
are not sold outside the United States. All firearms that are sold through
the FreeAds are shipped to Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers. Firearm
and ammunition laws vary from state to state. It is up to the buyer and seller
to make sure any purchase is legal in their area.
