Well ebay is located in the San Francisco bay area.. Highly liberal..
So, they decided that bullets and brass are terrible things and outlawed them
Just the way things are going nowadays...


Why do they call it common sense, when it is so uncommon??

No

Brass, bullets, barrels, bolts, magazines, triggers or firing pins
Basically no reloading components
No firearms parts that are active when the fire arm is discharged.
Except they are too dumb to discriminate with certain parts. I have seen M98 Mauser trigger guards still for sale which includes the magazine box. I am sure you can still find followers and follower springs.
I suspect that a hammer or a breech block might get by them.
What happens when you list a sear or a striker?
The slide or cylinder for a hand gun would be a question as well as the bolt carrier for an autoloader.

E-bay's complex sits on 20 acre parcel in West San Jose. Can't remember how many birds and varmints I killed on it back in the day. That was 40yrs ago.

A lot of previous sellers on Ebay have gone to Gunbroker.com and Auctionarms.com

Yep, I actually grew up in that area... Back in the 60's it was a cool place to be a kid.. I used to take my shotgun to high school and hunt quail after school up in the Quito hills. The Dean thought that was pretty cool.
How things have changed..

I grew up in the West Valley. Lots of open space from Saratoga all the way down to Santa Teresa and farther. Used to hunt a lot in the foothills above Los Gatos and New Almaden. Lots of great memories.

NO guns (including muzzleloaders), ammo, brass, bullets, primers, powder, or magazines/clips- nothing that can be "directly used to fire a gun".... I see they do still list dies, presses, etc.

Here is a site in Australia that auctions brass and cases.
