Hello,

We have developed a high quality Sports Only Auction site. We are just starting to add members from the Firearms, Hunting, Shooting, Knives and similar areas to the site.
We thought you might have an interest in the site as a Seller or a Buyer.

"Best combination of Design & Fees on the Internet"
See our "How We Compare" link on the opening page. www.SportsOnlyAuction.com

Brief overview of the site:
1.) No cost to Join
2.) Immediate account activation - No need to obtain an authorization code to finalize the sign up
3.) Do NOT need to enter Credit Card info
4.) No cost to List - High quality entry and display system
5.) Automatic re-list for 6 months - Saves you time and expense
6.) You are welcome to list your URL in your item description
(You may add a link to your agun, armsbay, auctionarms, eBay, gunbroker, Yahoo or Personal Web Site..."added exposure at no cost")Also welcome to add your site link to your Profile info.
7.) No cost to Buy - Of course you have to pay for the item and shipping
8.) $.20 per item to Sell - NO percentage (%) of final value!
$.20 per item Is the Total Charge!
9.) Anti-Sniper Function - Any bid placed within the last 5 minutes of an auction resets the auction for an additional 5 minutes.
10.) Traders - may list up to five (5) items for $.05 listing fee

Please take a few minutes to preview the site. We think you will like what you see. Join, List, Grow with us.

We will be adding a Link page with a listing of FFL Dealers throughout the USA within the next few weeks. Let us know if you would like to be added to this list.

Link and Banner exchange is available

Anyways, I was curious as to how my email got on their list, but I realized that it was probably due to me signing up for something.

Well, come to find out they HARVESTED my email address from sites that I had posted an ad on.

You can read about it here at Glock Talk.

I got one yesterday too. I sent it back with -remove- in the subject line to unsubscribe like they said to in the e-mail. We'll see if I get anything else from them.
