Maybe if you call them something else- I know nM won't allow paraphernalia from chicken aggression activities; unless they don't find out..... 0 -
As far as I can tell "vintage cock fighting spurs" are NOT specifically prohibited for sale by the Gunbroker.com User agreement ( http://www.gunbroker.com/User/UserAgreement.aspx )nor are they explicitly prohibited in the FAQ ( http://www.gunbroker.com/Support/SupportFAQView.aspx?faqid=1065 ).
If they are legal to possess and sell in your jurisdiction, then they should be perfectly fine to sell on Gunbroker. . .so long as they are also legal in the jurisdiction of the buyer.
Note that cockfighting paraphernalia are specifically prohibited by law in some jurisdictions. For example, the State of Kansas bans their possession:
quote:Chapter 21: Crimes And Punishments
PART II.--PROHIBITED CONDUCT
Article 43: Crimes Against The Public Morals
Statute 21-4319: Unlawful conduct of cockfighting; unlawful possession of cockfighting paraphernalia; unlawful attendance of cockfighting. (a) Unlawful conduct of cockfighting is: (1) Causing, for amusement or gain, any gamecock to fight with or injure or kill another gamecock; (2) knowingly permitting such fighting or injuring on premises under one's ownership, charge or control; or (3) training, grooming, preparing or medicating any gamecock for the purpose or with the intent of having it fight with or injure or kill another gamecock.
(b) Unlawful possession of cockfighting paraphernalia is possession of spurs, gaffs, swords, leather training spur covers or anything worn by a gamecock during a fight to further the killing power of such gamecock.
(c) Unlawful attendance of cockfighting is entering or remaining on the premises where the unlawful conduct of cockfighting is occurring.
(d) Unlawful conduct of cockfighting is a level 10 nonperson felony.
(e) Unlawful possession of cockfighting paraphernalia is a class A nonperson misdemeanor.
(f) Unlawful attendance of cockfighting is a class B nonperson misdemeanor.
(g) As used in this section, "gamecock" means a domesticated fowl that is reared or trained for the purpose of fighting with other fowl.
(h) The provisions of this section shall be part of and supplemental to the Kansas criminal code.
History: L. 2002, ch. 132, ? 1; L. 2009, ch. 132, ? 7; July 1.
In Texas, on the other hand, cockfighting paraphernalia is illegal, BUT there is a legal exemption for bona-fide collectors of such.
Bottom line: Like "high capacity magazines" cockfighting spurs are legal in some places, but not in others.
If you want to sell these on auction here, I'd make sure to list a disclaimer that the buyer agrees that its legal to possess these in their particular jurisdiction.

I reckon it'll be like the auto/switchblade shipping situation. Where the buyer has to know so you better cover your 6 by stating check the local laws before bidding scenario.0 -
Gaff, short knife, or long knife? 0 -

A cock is a male bird. The word in the north, in slang, referred to the male reproductive organ, and in the south, a couple of generations back, referred to the female's. With this bit of historical knowledge, one might better appreciate the picture of the cheerleaders (above) should they have a mind to do so. You might say it's a southern thang. [:D]0 -
