Just noticed that you have to have a paid account to do anything on Armslist now. You can't post or contact a seller without a paid account. Armslist has just committed stupidcide apparently.

I've had some pretty good luck on there but recently as well was prompted to pay and if I'm correct, armslist is maintained or was created in Virginia? I might be wrong.

I just noticed this yesterday. It's sad but I really love this site. Here we know the spam isn't going to be an overload. I know the guys on here won't get to that. At least I hope. I hate saying the word "hope" because it reminds me of Obama and now Biden but we will prevail!

I truly appreciate the mods on here and the work they put in and VAGunTrader for keeping up and letting our right to bear arms be free in all aspects.

And on top of having to pay now Armslist has become riddled with scam accounts. I'm fighting one now that included an actual listed legit (verified it on fflapi.com) FFL gun store in the scam operation. I reported it to IC3.gov and had to freeze c.card account. These guys were silk smooth and a legit listed FFL made it seem ok, anything but. DONE with Armslist.....

I've been following armslist on and off for a few years. I wasn't aware of the fees for posting. If so, maybe it will clean up the site. In the past I really haven't trusted the site enough to use it. Prior to July, I did everything exclusively through VA Guntrader.

I just don't think the $4 per month fee is worth it for Armslist, especially since the search and filter capabilities have been significantly limited over the past few years. Tacswap is a single time $5 verification.

However, I still have a single Armslist ad that I have up. I keep going in and editing it and bumping it to show whatever I have for sale, and provide my phone or email to allow people to contact me outside of Armslist.

Frustrating that I see a few things i'm interested in but the sellers don't have any other contact info listed. Armslist should make it so anyone can contact a seller, but only the fee-paying members should be able to create a listing.

Anyone paying the account and mind reaching out to some people for me and giving them my contact info? haha.
