Did you know that many firearms auction companies are very careful to point out that this is a “buyer beware” industry?
When you work with the average auction company to buy firearms, you’re often going to see “as is” included beside most listings. But here at GTA Guns, we’ve reinvented the firearms auction business so our buyers never need to beware of anything when purchasing their guns.
GTA Guns was founded by firearms enthusiast Gordon Siple of Sharon, Ontario. He aimed to create a business that not only specializes in hosting firearm auctions to facilitate the legal sale of a wide range of restricted, non-restricted, and prohibited firearms and related gear, but also to uphold Canadian values of safety and security.
GTA Guns auctions are designed to offer a safe and reliable way to buy and sell firearms and firearm accessories while providing the utmost in client satisfaction. Our auctions serve over 62,000 gun enthusiasts from all over North America, giving you access to a wide and captive buyers’ market.
Here’s how GTA Guns is changing the game:
We Make Both Buyers and Sellers Happy
GTA Guns was founded to make our clients happy. In order to make the seller happy, we know that we have to make the buyer happy first. So, we always begin with better buyer information.
GUNCHECKTM is a proprietary system exclusive to GTA Guns. Before they are posted to our auction site, a licensed gunsmith inspects every firearm that will be sold and writes a condition report. This way, buyers will be aware of the exact condition of their purchase before they buy.
We also employ another proprietary system known as CYCLECHECKTM. Here, all semi-automatic weapons are range tested and recorded. The video of our test is posted on the auction page to prove to bidders that the firearm is in perfect working order.
Lastly, we use fiber-optic bore pictures so that buyers can see the condition of the bore on used firearms. It’s just like used car buyers looking under the hood! We are the only ones who offer these high-resolution images, along with proof of firearm condition. Thus, we are the only gun auction that puts client satisfaction at the top of our priorities.
Part of that customer satisfaction is taking care of the details. If you buy or sell a gun through our online auction, we’ll handle all the paperwork, transport the firearm directly to the buyer, and make a payment to the seller’s account within six business days following the auction — no exceptions!
We Offer One-of-a-Kind Guarantees
Have you ever got your hands on the perfect firearm only to find out it doesn’t work? So disappointing!
But since GTA Guns was founded with client satisfaction in mind, we strive to make sure this never happens. Our performance guarantee ensures that, if you purchase a firearm with us and it doesn’t work for any reason, all you have to do is send it back. We’ll not only fix it for you, but we’ll even refund the shipping costs (30-day maximum).
What’s more, our satisfaction guarantee ensures that any guns purchased at auction with a price of $3,000 or more can be put back up for auction if you’re not satisfied with your purchase. We’ll even put it back up on our site with no sales charge (30-day maximum).
These guarantees mean that you’ll be receiving a gun that is in perfect working order, no questions about it! Our guarantees are unique and designed to eliminate all uncertainties, which means higher bids for sellers and fully-satisfied buyers.
