If it doesn't fit the topic in any of the other forums, and is firearm-related, put it here!

AZ_Five56 wrote: December 1st, 2020, 11:56 am I have a couple of listings on Armslist that were posted before the great suicide. It's all sold now, but I can't even remove my posts without paying. Meanwhile, I still have people emailing me to ask about availability. So, now they have ads like mine clogging up the site and bringing despair to few people that went along with actually paying. If you thought the response rate was bad before, it has to be downright depressing now.

It was an all-around poorly thought out plan. It seems like they got too focused on the money to even think straight.
If you still have the email confirming your ad on Armslist, try clicking on the link to your ad and you should be able to edit/delete the information.
That is exactly what I did to put my phone number in my ads and to bump it up every week.

I've used Guns Arizona Classifieds a couple times. Doesn't draw much traffic though.

I used both Guns Arizona and Backpageguns. Guns Arizona was OK, but I deleted the backpageguns because their contact method didn’t work and I had to put up my phone number for people to reach me. Of course I got all the time wasters crap that goes along with that.

I have now done a couple of small deals here and worked out fine. Maybe if more people head over it will grow in offerings.

Agreed. I gave it a shot after no bites here or other local sites. Sold everything in a day.

I swear Armslist is in league with the scammers (or at the least willfully profiting from them).

I have been on top of a scammer that first did listings asking for deposits by electronic funds. Reported repeatedly, and would then pop up with same photos again, not only in Phoenix, but listing in multiple cities across the US.

Armslist let’s the individual(s) register new accounts (for a fee obviously), using the same contact information, same ad text, etc. The ads are only pulled down after continuous reporting of all of this.

If you see any ads that have Glocks listed for pre-COVID prices (or lower), chances are it’s a scam.

Unless its one of those selective memory things like when you think fondly about that ex girlfriend that set your cloths on fire ...

Backpage was riff with scammers and near do wells.

They just didnt charge you to use the site. As with anything in life .. buyer beware. The scam ads are pretty obvious. I especially like the ones that say ... Glock 19 gen 3 and then have a pic of a Ruger GP100!! :dance:

I liked armslist but aint missing it.
