What "category" do dealers look at most?
Guys I'm a "newby" in the forums, though I've bought & sold on GunBroker & that "other" auction site for years.
I realize this may have been answered sometime somewhere before, but I'm so old I don't buy green bananas & don't want to spend what time I may have left searching for the answer.
I owned & ran a small full-time full service gun shop for 12 years. In my shop " cartridge key rings" that I learned to make were a consistent seller. Not big bucks, but a steady trickle.
I've been listing them on G/B for a while, but I don't know what category to use to get them seen by dealers, pawnbrokers, etc..
If this topic isn't appropriate for this forum, please just tell me, don't be nasty. I've only pulled 2 hitches in the USN and been married for 43 years, so i'm real sensitive about harsh words & my feelings are easily hurt.

Try advertising your product on the auction side of Gun Broker under"collectibles" maybe that will generate some interest.Hope that helps. 0 -
chiefchigger,
I'll try to nice & gentle, O.K.?[:D]
Nice work![;)] I do not know which category would be best to list them in, though. TWO categories come to mind:
(1.) "Top > Ammunition > Collectible Ammo"
(2.) "Top > Collectibles > Souvenirs"0 -

[;)]Yes, I hear sailors are known for their use of delicate language.
To answer the question, "Collectibles>Other" could work, and I've seen these keychains there.
For example:
http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=124108164
Other possibilities would include the "Non-firing replicas" category, and the "Everything else" category:
