MSSA contacted me asking about the ability to do fundraising auctions for items donated to the Montana Shooting Sports Association.
As we don’t have anything well established yet, I had to turn him down and suggest he use groups or classifieds. I hate doing things like that! I have created a new group titled Montana Gun Auctions & Raffles at https://montanaguntrader.com/groups/?auctions-raffles/ – It however will be useless if we don’t get people to join to get notifications and bid/engage. I am honestly not a huge auction fan. But they do work good for fundraising and for dealer raffles which can be fun. We do need to figure out how to set proper bidding rules, etc. I will leave those parts up to you for now until we set some standards. If you are not in Montana and looking for a social network offering the same for national auctions and raffles, Join the new Firearm Friendly Auctions and Raffles Group at FirearmsFriendly.com.
