At 75yo, I've been around here for years, bought and sold items and "always" a Pleasant experience!!

However, in my "Personal Opinion", it seems that once a Law was passed that all private gun sales go thru an FFL, seems VAguntrader sales have about dried up.

I do not think sales are down due to asking price, as you can generally barter a bit with sellers,nor do I feel cost of living has a negative affect.

Interested in your opinion!!!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the GunTrader Family.

I haven’t been on here long, but one thing I’ve noticed with this site over all other I’m on…this one is by far the WORSE for communication from the posters. I’ve probably contacted a dozen or more people for various items, guns, ammo or accessories and after a couple back and forth…crickets from them. I get you may have sold it, but drop a message…sorry it’s sold, I’m a grown man…I’ll look for another. Contacted a guy with a P30, mentioned I had a couple guns to sell before I could pick it up and I would contact him to see if he still had it when mine sold…couple weeks later mine sold, I contact him about meeting somewhere between us…crickets…been three weeks, I’ve moved on. I can go on, but I’ll stop here…

OP, to answer your question, the UBC law has dramatically changed this site for the worse. I have missed out on several deals I would have easily jumped in the car and driven to meet but having to find and schedule a FFL with the other party makes it a PITA.

Definitely changed for the worse. I wish this law would be gotten rid of. Seems like we have the numbers now?
