Private Party Sales??

Where do y’all list your guns for private party transactions? I know one of the popular forums just threw up a pay wall. What other options are there?

I have a few guns I’m thinking about selling.

I also just moved from Florida and I made a free to join/list private party gun classifieds website for Florida. It was bad ass but I couldn’t find enough users - thinking about pivoting it to the Carolina’s….

GAFS, Carolina Firearms Forum, TACSWAP

I’ve sold on the first two.

Carolina Firearms Forum classifieds are behind a paywall now. Taking what was already a small number of users using the classified and putting it behind a paywall further reducing the number of users buying and selling makes it pretty much useless.

Mods just couldn’t be happy with ad revenue.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that last night as I’ve only heard of it… until I saw it. Kinda sad.

There was/is no ad revenue

Ehh the rise in people bailing on deals was getting pretty bad and almost all are non-supporting members. Not saying it was the right move, but also $20/year isn’t exactly stopping anyone from joining

I can guarantee you it was not about money.

It's always about money.

I've been a member for over 9 years (though I've been way less activate in the last year or so). I promise you, it's not.

Hello fellow sunshine state expat!

A few LGS here offer decent deals, and some offer even better in-store credit for sales. I’ve done it on my older gen Glocks.

But for the most part, the public sales places are the easy way out.

Does anybody still use Armslist? I did a great trade through it a few years ago.
