eGUn
EGun has been one of the largest online marketplaces for hunters, shooters, and anglers since 2002, and it still enjoys great popularity among hunters. The biggest advantage lies in this popularity - every hunter knows it, many use it, which means that most hunting articles can be found there. A disadvantage, however, is the somewhat outdated user interface, and additionally, a fee is charged to EGun for each sale made by sellers - it is therefore not possible to sell for free on the platform. Other platforms, such as the marketplace from Gunfinder, allow for free selling.
Auctronia
Competition arose for EGun in 2016 when Germany's largest hunting outfitter Frankonia launched its own platform: Auctronia went live in the summer of 2016. Auctronia impresses mainly with a modern user interface and high security standards.
VDB / Progun
A third important platform for online trading in hunting weapons is the weapon market of the VDB (Association of German Gunsmiths), where, as of October 2019, up to 20,000 items can be listed. However, potential customers cannot make direct purchases through the platform; rather, the VDB's weapon market offers the opportunity. With Progun, VDB maintains its own platform for online weapon sales.
