Oh oh, Gunbroker.com

This doesn't look too good for GB. No comment yet from the CEO and they did refuse to list George Zimmermans gun.

Yeah probably not a good call for them to be selling new KKK stuff and new nazi flags with no historical value. At the end of the day its their business and they should have the right to sell what they want, but it doesn't look so good. If it was WWII nazi artifacts, that would be easy to explain, but brand new nazi flags.....not so much.

They should be able to sell whatever they want.

They make it seem like the platform is at fault for the users listings. This is a free market and those items are not regulated or illegal to sell or possess. If somebody doesn't like the item they won't buy it, if there is a market for it they will sell. Nowadays if somebody doesn't like something they want it removed from the shelves so nobody can buy it cuz they don't like it, sounds just like people trying to force their beliefs on others again.

Yes but they also have to suffer the consequences of their actions. A thinking business man wouldn't allow this due to the negative impact on the business.

Talk about a "hit piece" - "where you can buy assault style weapons and 50 caliber ammunition"

they forgot vintage BB guns and marketing papers....

I would put out a press release criticizing their lack of tolerance and their persecution of a sales site, and as mentioned above, if you don't like the item, don't bid. If there are no buyers, the sellers go somewhere else.

Perhaps BET or the Black Miss America contest can chime in on diversity....

are KKK and Nazi items prohibited from being owned? stupid news story

[seanbo]

Offensive things are different for everyone. Do we really want oppression of the majority? Or oppression of the minority?

First off, do you have other than a proven fake news source to post, and second, what is the difference from Walmart, Amazon and Ebay doing this?

Was on national news tonight so I suppose it could be fake news. Amazon etc. don't sell KKK stuff.

[TurboChrisB]

Walmart sells Black Lives Matters shirts off their website....so in my book...it's EXACTLY the same thing!

[ElvenSoul]

Oh please Ebay double standard!

Found this for sale!

Yup and consumers should be able to avoid anyplace that thinks this chit is worthy of association.

[DannyInSoCal]

I'm always amused by people who magically seem to mandate things "not right" when their weakminded sense of being is "offended".

They typically love socialism and hate the personal freedoms of "other" people....

[Beatone]

Well, it's New York again. It's not about hate. It seems more about control everything in the world that is sold. Sure there is always going to be haters, but I don't feel Gunbroker glorifies hate not promotes it. War memorabilia is about the period to collectors.
BS EBAY sells KKK stuff. They didn't look there did they.......
