Website that displays the market value of firearms?

[clement_1]

There is a website I have visited that features (on-line) current market values on many firearms especially collectable military surplus arms. Does anyone know the address for this website. For the life of me I can not find where I burried it? Thanks.

Tried it, access forbidden, so that doesn't help!

I was able to get on. I'll check it out later when I have more time.

Gunner and Patrick, I reported your problem to the website and am awaiting their reply.

The link worked for me too.

Interesting site - Thanks for the link!
I checked and the M1 carbine prices looked close to market value.

Good luck to the people trying to get in.

If this helps any, below is some of the text from a page on the site with a little info of their development status. It looks as this page hasn't been worked on for some time - 2004 (?)

The 'Sales Page' looks as if it was being tested in 2004 - 2005, and nothing has been posted after that.

They have a button for new members to "Sign-up", but the link for the button is inactive.

The M1 carbine prices seemed current though. (?)

There's a link that takes you to an active page where you can contact them and the page was just updated this month.

Calfed, If you discover more info, I'd appreciate knowing what the status of the site is. I started to contact them, but I didn't want to cause confusion.

About C&R Buds

The C&R-Buds System arose as an idea as the supply of C&R items from the 80's and early 90's began to dry up. Wholesale availability of items was greatly reduced, and particular items became available only through one-off private sales or auction sites.

While it is still possible to find the things that you are after, the cost in your time to do so is great.

C&R-Buds contains two main areas. A For-Sale ad area, accessible by anyone (with transfers done through a FFL) and a members-only area, where members can request specific things that they are interested in finding. In either case, transfers are done via FFL.

Other users of the system (including, potentially, dealers) will have the ability to search these listings and let you know if they have found something of interest for you. You can choose to exclude dealers from responding, who are under a one-strike-and-you're-out rule.


How it Works:

Vistors

* All vistors to this page can enter firearms for sale.
* Vistors can view the items that are not marked for a specific member.
* ANY items purchased are transferred via FFL, as required.

Members

* Members can view all items.
* Members can request items to be found as well as inform other members about items that have been found. An email will be sent to the requesting member, so that they know to check the item.
* After NNN days, items marked (as held) for members will be released for view by all vistors.
* Members will be able to modify the lists of Manufacturers and Calibers, that are used in the pull downs for entering items.


This application has been tested with:
Internet Explorer 6+; Netscape 7.1+ and FireFox 1.0.

Things under development (12-05-2004)

* Member profile: Doesn't show your email address.
* Ability to exclude dealers from responding.
* Requests time out after xxx days, emailing you to see if you want to relist it.
* Add links for FFL dealers and Auction sites.
* Dealers are obviously reimbursed for responding to member requests with a sale. How do we reimburse others?
