I just signed up for armslist last week and I've messaged about 8 people so far with interest in their sales. I've gotten ZERO responses. I offered asking price the day the post went up on two different things in my own city and zero response. Is this typical? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some sort of secret code? ________________________________________________ | ||

Stopped looking there a long time ago. I feel like most of the adds are scams to collect email addresses. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

High signal to noise ratio on Armlist and a ton of flaky buyers and sellers. But I have done plenty of good deals buying and selling. Just need to be sharp and have a high tolerance for BS. | |||

I tried Armslist last year when I was looking for a P220 ASE that I saw referenced here....same deal, finally found one & a dealer nonetheless who would ship..... No response on that one though I did manage to purchase a West German P220 from another add - inbound dealer when he transferred it to me "Bro, this thing is beat". Lol. It cleaned up nice after a trip to Ford's for a re-blue. <>< America, Land of the Free - because of the Brave | |||

word on Armslist is : HIGHLY populated with scam artists ONLY use that site to arrange local / face-to-face transactions taking safety precautions I would never do a long-distance transaction on Armslist ----------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

I too have had the same experience. I have contacted a couple sellers over the space of a year or so, and received no response. That was enough for me. Endowment Life Member, NRA • Member of FPC, GOA, 2AF & Arizona Citizens Defense League | |||

I haven’t sold on Armslist, but two of the three I’ve put on Gunbroker ended up being scam listed on AL. I’m sure legitimate deals take place, but no way I’d take a chance. | |||

I've sold a few on Armslist but was warned by a friend that it's full of scams and to be cautious. | |||

Check your junk mail folder. That's happened to me with an armslist communication. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

I had a few good transactions with people locally but I won't drive far for a deal. Some people are on there just to screw with people,unfortunately. | |||

They usually don't respond in my experience. In AZ, the site has been taken over by vendors with pages of their inventory. If I use the site now, it's to peruse their inventory. | |||

It’s generally about 50/50 for me. If it’s a good deal and a real ad it generally goes quickly and the seller doesn’t want to respond to everyone. I have found a couple good deals this year. The sellers were responsive and very easy to deal with. I managed to get a lightly used larue predatar and an mcx virtus for less than half of new. | |||

In my experience there are lots more flakes and crooks on Armslist than CL. Never even waste time looking at it anymore and ignore anything that pops up on a search. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

I’ve made one transaction out of about 25 attempts.

I’ve had some flakes on Armslist. But only do face to face here in NH, so that is a plus. Sometimes meetings can be a juggle as to different work schedules, but I’ve made a few friends and have done multiple trades and sales/purchases. Just gotta watch yourself. I do prefer to work with someone who has been on the site for a few years and don’t put too much effort with “unconfirmed” sellers. -------------------------------------------------------2/28/2015 ~ Rest in peace Dad.
