A "Craigslist" for guns: Armslist

[Uncle Buck]

Thanks for the info. Sometimes I am looking for things, or I have things I want to get rid of, and Craigslist won't accept them. The local paper does not have a very big circulation and the folks I have my internet service through has a classified section, but you can not list anything firearms related. (They even pulled my ad asking for reloading advice.)

Man, only two guns posted for the whole state of Oregon in the past 3 months?

Yeah, unfortunately for you in Oregon, the midwest is where it's really thriving.

If you want to see Swapgiant grow in your area then promote it. One of the things I did was when I checked Craigslist and saw anything hunting related I sent an e--ml to the person suggesting they list it on swapgiant as it was more pro hunter/gun. A lot of people responded positively. I also mentioned it to people I was standing next to at estate auctions etc when looking at firearms.

Hopefully it catches on. It's a great idea, but next to no-one buying into it so far.

The one i monitor daily is this one: Gunlistings.Org

Have bought a couple of things via this site. Most of the private buys i have done though have been through the Buy/Sell forum on Ohioans For Concealed Carry which is great for Ohioans.

^ That one has more listings, but some funny prices. A Yugo SKS for $500?

I've used both gunlistings and armslist. They're both good sites, but I prefer armslist.com because they have better email privacy. Gunlistings leaves your email right on the page so anybody can see it so you get more spam messages.

Great place to look as they check a lot of sites for you. Armlist is one that they check.

Try http://www.OutdoorsTrader.com for the Pacific Northwest.

I noticed that Armslist.com added "sharethis" to their site. It's not for everyone, but it does help you to get a lot more exposure. Definitely good if you're looking to move something quickly.

That's a pretty neat feature, I like that. I've already found four guns that I can't afford today. LOL!

I added a 'Gun for Sale.' It can't hurt, and I'm in no hurry to sell. If somebody buys it I get that new Sig or a bunch of goodies for my M&P15.

http://armslist.com has a lot of posts lately, I've had the best luck on it out of all the sites listed.

We use gunlistings.org mostly but I did post three things to Armslist.com and one sold within an hour, was quite impressed with that sort of response.
