Hi, Sellers. Manny here at AuctionArms.com, Inc.>/p>

First off, I'd like to thank all you loyal sellers for using Auction Arms. We appreciate your business at the BEST place on the Internet for Firearms Auctions.

Next, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce a little change you may notice over the next few days. As you all know, Auction Arms was founded on the notion that a seller could auction an item and not have to pay any listing fees or commission fees for the service until an actual sale was made. We believe that this is important to you and we intend to maintain that ability for you, our great customers. We have held to this basic notion, and have not increased any of our special optional listing fees or commission rates for over five years. As businessmen however, I'm sure you can all understand and appreciate the very real challenges and problems of increasing costs. Unfortunately, Auction Arms is not immune from the impact of these increasing costs.

Determined to hold our fees at current levels, we have decided to meet the problem of increased costs through more actively selling our advertising inventory. We are currently in negotiations and expect to reach an agreement with a advertising broker to market and sell our advertising space. You may in the very near future notice that new banner advertisements are showing up on our pages, and in your auction listings.

We also recognize that some sellers may strongly prefer not to have advertising banners show up in their auctions. To this end, you will also soon notice an additional special feature when you are listing an item. This special feature option will give you the ability to opt out of having an advertising banner show up in your auction. You will be able to select this feature in each new and relisted auction. The initial fee for this special feature will be a nominal fee of $0.25 per auction listing.

Again, I appreciate your business and loyalty, and I trust this small change will not be disruptive.

Thanks for using AuctionArms.com. We appreciate your business at the BEST place on the Internet for Firearms Auctions!
