GunBroker.com reached $1 billion in cumulative merchandise sales on September 3, 2009 after celebrating its 10th anniversary in March. GunBroker reports 1.4 million registered users and 2.7 million unique visitors per month, and it hosts over 300,000 auctions daily.
Steve Urvan, founder and CEO of the online auction site for firearms and hunting/shooting accessories, commented, "One billion is a huge number that would not have been remotely possible without the support of millions of hunting and shooting sports enthusiasts, as well as gun collectors, retailers and other firearms industry partners. A key factor in GunBroker.com's sales growth is the increasing number of firearms retailers around the country who use our site to expand their business."
To plan for future growth, GB Investments, which operates GunBroker.com, and Triton Value Partners recently combined to form TVP Investments, LLC, which provides executive management, strategic direction and corporate development to its subsidiaries GunBroker.com and other related companies. Urvan serves as CEO and chairman of TVP Investments.
