boomerbroker sucks major dick. there's sometimes some expensive DVDs for sale on Facebook that come with a free gun still, so that's okish. but that's few and far between. tacswap is basically GunBroker but for zoomers. sucks bro
Gunbroker is great if you know how to shop instead of being a tard who doesn't see a cheap gun that day and gives up forever. Best deals I've ever gotten are from GB.

You have to add what would be the credit card processing fee to the price. The good thing is that they can use credit for orders from private sale instead of money order in some cases the bad news is the processing fees they take on to the customer.
I miss it a lot. Bought this bad boy from an old hillbilly at an off-brand gas station in KY for $120. He walked up& said "You're 21, aintcha?" Yessir of course sir. Done deal
>raduius the rear slide cuts
Nope, not gonna do that. Already lube it plenty. Put about 800rds through it in the last few years which is alot considering how hard it is to find 25acp. It's literally never malfunctioned. It's a fun little gimmick gun to frick around with; if it ever stops working, oh no! I'm out $120! Damn how will i ever recover??
Gotten well-worth my money in fun out of it already
Ok be a moron, you dumb Black person. I'm just saying to extend the lifespan, gently file the inner corners on the slide where it meets the takedown area on the back. One day it will peel itself apart.
I miss it. There were some asshats and scammers, but a lot of genuine people and good deals if you knew what to look for. After it got in the news and the ATF got a hateboner for it it's fate was sealed. Didn't help that when they paywalled the site, the userbase went from 10% scammers, 20% dealers and 70% users to 90% scammers and 10% dealers. At that point there was no saving it.
Yeah its pretty much impossible to sell anything and get what you want. Even at extreme discounts people still feel like they have to haggle, moron gen-x shit

Always wondered if it was stolen. Dude I bought it from was in his 30s and was well put together, didn't seem like he would steal much of anything.
I'm not saying saying I fell for anything, moron-kun. Just that I never had any communication on Armslist with a real person. I felt like the only actual buyer/seller on the site by the time I gave up.

I've never had a good private sale experience
Gun shows are full of old hoarders that are just flipping shit they really don't want
Never got on Armslist before they made you subscribe to it
Had an uncle try to sell me a pistol but he backed out last second because he is going to become a hoarder at a gun show
Had hood experiences with it. Sold some stuff, bought some stuff. Then it went to paywall and that killed the site. Moved to Gunlistings after that and that was also good until it was seemingly broke and abandoned at the end of February this year. Holding out hope that the site owner fixes it, but the longer it remains broken, the less I believe it will get fixed. I've browsed Tacswap but haven't made an account because it's all zoomer guns and I like revolvers. I've tried some gun forums and those are ok but usually highly specific.

I've got alot of fond memories of Armslist. lots of good interactions on there, lots of pining for random guns in my younger days of gun ownership, and lots of luck listing stuff on there. I just about always had people sending me real messages when I listed something, it was great. it really had a great organic userbase, although I think that had to do with the trump years and a decent economy, so people were passing around guns a ton. I had so many good interactions that looking back on it were way to risky to get involved with, but they all worked out for me until one day I got burned on a scam and that kinda killed alot of the magic for me. When I saw they required you to pay to be on there, I knew it was done
no no, it was over zelle and I got my money back eventually after reporting it as fraud. It still changed how I conduct gun purchases and sales online though
im a nogunz zoomer, tf you on about gramps?
Pre COVID there was this site called Armslist, basically a craigslist for guns. It was always super sketchy but there were deals to be had sometimes.

Bought an AK out of the trunk of a Camero in a McDonalds parking lot because of this site. Most American thing I've ever done
I bought an AK out of someone's truck in a McDonald's parking lot, but the boomer was ripping me off and it exploded. That felt pretty American.
Where do people go for Private Sales these days? I went to offload a few Firearms I have and was totally blindsided by the fact that it's gone.
I hear guns.com is alright but idk

>120
barely worth it
lube it well and raduius the rear slide cuts. the metal rail is going to carve out the diasssembly grooves on the slide until the gun is unusable

One day I'll peel you apart, cutie pie
I still pay for it since lots of people in ohio seems to still use it

Armslist was where I got most of my milsurps for awhile.
I don't. Every time I tried to buy something it was a scam, every time I tried to sell something I only got messages from scammers.
That's because you're a gullible moron
I'm not saying saying I fell for anything, moron-kun. Just that I never had any communication on Armslist with a real person. I felt like the only actual buyer/seller on the site by the time I gave up.
Half and half. I miss it for selling, sure as frick don't for buying.

Pics or it didn't happen
Here you go, anon. This was before the coof so $300 for a Mak wasn’t unheard of.
Nice. They're good looking guns& I've always figured they'd be great for carry. What ammo do you carry it with?
I never used Armslist because my state has its own classifieds board that doesn't suck

But forum sites like these is where it’s at
I miss it like you wouldn't believe. I bought a VZ-58 for $750 off of an asian lady who's husband had recently passed. She was very nice 🙂
I have a great Armslist story.

you didn't send someone a money order did you?
no no, it was over zelle and I got my money back eventually after reporting it as fraud. It still changed how I conduct gun purchases and sales online though
