We will post items that sell and will put up new inventory as it comes in ASAP.

Just realize we don't have trucks of stuff arriving daliy like the big guys and it is just the 3 of us here working to get inventory, take orders, pack and ship everything as well as deal with the everyday lives. Yes, I actually have a life. Well sometimes that is if we don't have a ton of orders, gun shows, phone calls, honey to do list.... well ok I don't have a life but at least I love what I do so I guess it counts for something and we are all in it together.

That's not our fault. Maybe if you quit selling great guns and started selling crap like those which shall not be named you wouldn't have so much work. Maybe if whenever we called you didn't say well I don't have that now but I will look for it instead of hanging up.

+1 on losing the sound.
+1 on doing something a la AIM (most all the others are less than professional).
+1 on keeping it simple and updated.

The wife and I said when we started,we will treat people how we wanted to be treated, we wouldn't sell anything we wouldn't keep or use ourselves and keep price as low as possible. Besides, looking for a gun a person needs for their collection is half the fun and good business. You find it, you have a customer for life! Granted I also find cool stuff for myself :lol:

I'd keep the design simple. AIM's design is my favorite with SOG running in second. What really helps are good photos. If you can put up good photos of what you've got, they speak for themselves.

And thanks for ditching the sounds. =D>

I like Empire-Arms website. He deals in small quantities and has individual pictures of his items. If you find a cross between AIM and Empire you'll be on to a winner. Just keep in mind that if you come up with a good design, everyone else will copy it!

Id say have a highly visible link to your section of the forums on the front page, maybe even next to or below your header. Maybe something along the lines of "Join us at SurplusRifleForums!" Or something that quickly lets the reader know that you are actively involved with your customers. Its one thing to have testimonials pasted on your web page but IMO its much more powerful when you see it straight from the source.
