March 15, 2014 marked a new milestone for GunBroker.com, the world's largest online auction site for firearms and accessories, as it celebrates its 15th anniversary.
The auction site has steadily grown each year, cementing its position among the top 400 largest U.S. websites, according to Quantcast. In the last year, GunBroker.com recorded nearly $1 billion in sales. "This represents a substantial share of all gun sales in the multi-billion dollar firearms industry," says Steve Urvan, founder and CEO.
Its average customer is tech-savvy, under forty, and boasts a median household income of $88,000. Mobile apps appeal greatly to this demographic, and GunBroker.com for iPhone® and Android® devices were unveiled at SHOT Show earlier this year.
Six years ago, the company logged its one millionth registered user. That number now exceeds three million.
Urvan comments, "It amazes me to think that we have tripled in size. This is tremendous achievement for the entire GunBroker.com team."
GunBroker.com averages 650,000 active listings on any given day. Sellers have 24/7 access to millions of interested collectors and enthusiasts who are actively searching for items to purchase. The site consistently attracts an average of 5.5 million unique monthly visitors, with 80 percent of traffic coming from repeat users.
