View Full Version : Armslist does something (else) stupid (again)

So Armslist has "upgraded" its interface again. This time they removed from the search filters under "Firearms" (http://www.armslist.com/classifieds/colorado/guns) things like "Manufacturer", "Caliber", and "Action Type". So now if you want to see all the 9mm Glocks or .45 Colt Lever Guns you're just SOL.

I guess they just expect you to wade through every listing until you find what you're looking for, or do a search for what you want and get a bunch of unrelated crap because people put a string of unrelated words in the description in hopes of tricking you into looking at their listing.

Well I guess we don't need the libs to ruin Armslist and run them off the internet, they'll do that themselves.

I haven’t been on there in years, but that sounds ludacris to me. Hope they put it back, for you guys’ sake.

I usually don't really read Armslist looking for anything specific. I kind of just read through all the listings as is. Once in a great while I'll see something that I want. That's still lame that they removed those filters.

Dumb move. If a number of us email them, maybe they will put the filters back.

I complained via their "contact us" and have heard nothing. Based on how responsive they've been in the past I wouldn't hold my breath.

What we need is several of their "Premium Vendor" members to email and say "fix this or we leave".

I used the contact us as well. It often required three days to respond when i used it in the past.

I just received a reply from armslist. The site was slow or crashing from a problem with the filter logic. They are trying to get the filters back in p!ace. No time frame given.

Armslist is down again. Maybe they are fixing the filters.

I noticed the issue as well, but found a back door search. Here you go: http://www.armslist.com/classifieds/powersearch

Thanks for the link - the search worked using Armslist, so they must have done something to fix it.
Good to have the back door for next time. I haven't looked there for months and I did find a pistol I am interested in.

Thanks for the powersearch tip. The site is still missing the option to only search used items, though. Since I'm a bottom feeder for the most part, postings for new items are irrelevant.
