Other than the two TGTs and Gunbroker, what other online choices are there that you have experience with?
I've use them several times over the past years. No problem with any of the buyers. They do have a problem with scammers posting things for sale. Pretty easy to spot them though. They provide info on sellers, date joined plus there is a feature that displays locations of the computer that posted the ad.Thinking of placing an add here can you tell me the good the bad and the ugly of this site? I've looked around a few times but never placed an add or bought anything.
Thank ya
I have placed 5 adds and sold one item. All other replies and texts were scammers. I tried to buy a couple firearms and all were scammers. Pretty much wasted time in my case.I've use them several times over the past years. No problem with any of the buyers. They do have a problem with scammers posting things for sale.

Prohibited people gladley pay the inflated prices.Everyone wants as much or more than it is new, plenty of $800 used stock Glocks etc.
Many new to guns will pay inflated prices because they just don't know any different. Very easy for some to take advantage of those less informed about guns and ammo.Prohibited people gladley pay the inflated prices.
While I have used it to sell a lot of guns many years ago. I have not even gone to the site in a few years as the scammer vs actual real people ratio wasn't worth view pages.
Yes I am aware that some people pay MSRP + and try and get that on the used market. That said, it doesnt eliminate the "no questions asked" market.Many new to guns will pay inflated prices because they just don't know any different.

Never said it did, and I'm sure many prohibited persons buy firearms from private sellers, simply because money talks. I'm also fairly sure some sellers care very little as long as the money is green as well.Yes I am aware that some people pay MSRP + and try and get that on the used market.

How is he proposing to pay you?Hey, I need some help in understanding a potential scam on Tx Gun Trader. Guy contacts me and says he wants to buy a pistol, asks a couple of questions about the condition, then says he is an FFL (in Florida) and wants the pistol shipped to him (from my local FFL), after I get paid "of course".
My scam radar is going off big time - something's not quite right - but on the surface it seems to be legit. What's the scam?

Yeah I kind of figured they were trying to sell to felons or just listing it so high it wouldn’t sell so they could tell their wives they tried. I think many noobs just overpaid panic buying and are now trying to recoup funds. I’ve been on there since 2009 and only had two no shows in all that time. Fast forward to this year and I’ve had two in the last month, I don’t think a lot of guys on there can actually afford the guns. My sneaking suspicion is they’ll say they want it and set a time all the while trying to sell something to get the funds. When it falls through they don’t have the balls to tell you.Prohibited people gladley pay the inflated prices.
