More and more gunsmiths and stationary dealers are selling weapons online via their own stores. Although this digitalization trend is continuing in the hunting industry, most weapons are still traded via the online platforms eGun, Auctronia and the VDB weapons market. However, much more important than the quantity of available weapons for hunters and sport shooters is the level of quality. A brief assessment by the Gunfinder team is as follows:
Gunfinder
Over the past few years, our platform Gunfinder has developed into one of the largest marketplaces for weapons, ammunition and equipment online. Initially, Gunfinder was designed as a pure search engine. When searching for a specific product, Gunfinder shows all offers from all online stores and marketplaces on one page. Depending on preference, you can sort the offers by price or relevance and apply further filters.
In the meantime, we have improved and expanded the functions of Gunfinder. Now offers can also be published and purchased directly on Gunfinder.
The advantages that our users rate most highly on the Gunfinder marketplace are the most secure identity verification in the industry, our modern, clear design and our customer service - we always attend to our users' needs immediately and personally.
eGun
With 958,000 registered members and thousands of constantly updated offers, eGun is the richest product platform for weapons on the German-speaking market. The quality of the offers ranges from as good as new to antiquarian. eGun is especially interesting for offers from private dealers. Commercial dealers often use eGun to offer products that do not find a buyer on other platforms. The price level on eGun is comparatively low, which is good for buyers and rather disadvantageous for sellers. eGun has existed for about 20 years - unfortunately, updates have been made only rarely during this time. Many users complain about the outdated interface and the security on eGun.
VDB
The weapon market of the Association of German Gunsmiths is a popular eGun alternative. The price level is higher, but only expert dealers can advertise there. If you are willing to pay a little more for quality, the VDB site is the place to go.
Auctronia
Auctronia is the platform launched by dealer top dog Frankonia. It is the most technically advanced platform, which convinces with its modern user interface. Dealers can register on the platform separately from private users, which guarantees a high quality standard. Auctronia is the site for shooters and hunters who want to store online in a contemporary way and have the high-quality offers presented in a high-quality format.
