    Well they aren’t going to do anything about the moble app because they can’t, Apple and Google both removed it from their store which cuts off any and all support for the product as well. I personally liked it but it has started to run into issues with my saved searches and I’m not sure how much longer it will work.

I think you get the picture. Besides our classified section, is there a better alternative to reach the masses? Thanks
    Even our classified section has gone to shit in my opinion. flooded with new comers selling lots of guns with no pictures and often priced for the fool. They didn't join to become part of this community, they just use it to try to dump their guns, I even wonder if some are businesses. Lol

    I wonder if online person to person selling is meeting its end and will bring back swap meets? hmmm LOL
    Jimmy cracked corn and HE didn't care! Why should I?

    Or bad pictures or shitloads of different stuff in one crapy post without pictures. Never deleting posts. Still can find some gems if you look.

    That makes it easy to know which ones to skip.

    I can blow right past those posts.

    Classified ads in news papers. I check reading eagle and merchandiser.

    Consignment in gun shops

    Postings at gun clubs
    The only problem with your logic is not everything being sold on GB are guns. In the past I had hard to get parts that took time to sell (> 90 days) because I needed the right person to come along at the right time. Now I would have to pay the listing fee over again.

    Do you normally answer posts just for the sack of saying something!? Makes no sense and irrelevant to my question.

    Jen doesn't have a sack but she probably has bigger balls than you.

    Armslist is great? The only way that place could be worse is if you had to be forcefully sodomized to post an ad.
