this has been bugging me for some time now, in this day and age many gun shops post their inventory online. It's super-convenient to look for a specific item or just browse and find a gun I always wanted but never seen available at a right price. I go on GunBroker from time to time, but I'd rather pay few bucks more to support my local gunshop and just pick the gun up, rather than hassle with FFLs, shipping and faxing over forms.
The big issue with all online inventories are:
1. completely disorganized, some have a dozen pages of just listings, that's non searchable. An SKS could be under "Russian", "SKS" or "Tula".
2. I got to go every single gun site in mAss to check who got what. There is no single location that I know of where are I can search all of them and sort by distance, is there?
Am I alone here in my feelings about it? Is there some search service that would look through all gun shops for inventory?
I know that there are some services that try to sign up gun shop owners to post all their guns and I don't know how much hassle it is for them. I know that I won't find the same lists as I get from just going onto their websites, so I'm not talking about creating some new service, just looking for a search tool to sort out existing inventory already posted.
