Armslist No Longer Free

**Kingkowboys** · October 23rd, 2020, 06:56 AM

I saw on Facebook and confirmed myself that Armslist is no longer free to sell or buy on. If you are browsing and want to contact a seller, a notification pops up requiring you to upgrade your account to a paid personal account. It also appears this is not an error of some sort because the details of the paid account specifically lists contacting sellers as an advantage.

Besides PAFOA and now excluding armslist, are there any other places for finding local used firearms classifieds?

Interesting to see if people go along with this to sell or buy firearms now. Hopefully this will mean more traffic for PAFOA.

While I have perused Scamslist and have an account, I have never traded there but I did receive email notification to that effect yesterday. Me continuing to not use that site won't even be noticed. I buy here and HKPro and have an account at Sig and UZI, which is where I would go if I was looking for their stuff.

Armslist is the Internet version of the Star Wars cantina on Tatooine.

Just tried it, did run into the paywall.

Not worth paying for that place given the number of scams on there.

I agree, not worth it. This will be a loss for premium vendors who use armslist as part of their advertising.

Locals can still see some of what they have in stock. I use Armslist that way sometimes.

What is the name of the Uzi forum?

I've had fairly good luck selling on Armslist. You just need to treat it like Craigslist and be ready for idiocy.

I would not be so willing to pay to use it without some sort of benefit other then a CL for firearms.
