    Default When did ebay start carrying gun stuff again?

    There is a thread on my shooting site saying something about ebay carrying gun accessories again so I went to check and sure enough. I didn't see any actions or complete guns but there were sights, barrels, mags, stocks, triggers, scopes, pretty much everything else.

    Last I heard years ago, ebay had gotten all politically correct and wouldn't have anything to do with gun stuff any more. How long has that been changed?

    In economics, rent-seeking is an attempt to derive economic benefit by manipulating the social or political environment in which economic activities occur, rather than by adding value.

    No monopoly in the history of mankind has reformed itself from within. It has always taken an external threat – a competitor – to drive internal change.

    If there is a buck to be made, that will eventually trump political correctness.
    Congressmen should wear uniforms,
    you know, like NASCAR drivers, so we could
    identify their corporate sponsors.

    In all seriousness, make sure the parts are factory originals and not cheap Chinese knockoffs. ESPECIALLY on eBay.

    They probably have a keyword search, maybe you could have come up with some listing term to skip around it.

    For sale: 50 miniature lead statues manufactured in 1911, each are .45 inches wide with a beautiful brass base so they can stand upright and be displayed in an attractive manner. . . .

    Also available are precision, all steel storage cases that hold 8 miniature lead statues each, protecting them from the elements.

    While everything is tracked these days, be careful what you deal in on ebay. It's all easily tracked.
