I haven't read a Denver Post in a long time. Saturday I picked up my out town neighbor's paper, as they asked, and look at the classifieds.

The fireams section used to have a disclaimer that the Post would not accept ads from individuals. I didn't see that and it looked like there were some individual ads.

Did the Post change their ways?

What's this "newspaper" you speak of? hehehe

[Beer]

Papers are in dire straights competing with the eworld and will do almost anything to keep the publications out. It wouldn't surprise me to see that they changed their R&R's to accept individual dealers.

It's before your time.

It's a multi-page document that was delivered to a persons home, usually thrown into the bushes in front of the house, or sometimes onto the roof of the dwelling by snot-nosed kids or (some say) even as far back as Pony Express riders

I use to post it on newspaper to sell cars and/or firearms.
Shotgun news was a big thing back then.

I tried to use the online classifieds the other day. I got linked to a junk mail site that tried to send me a premium text message and charge me for service. I felt like the Denver Post was TRYING to go out of business.

You know, that's an interesting point.... I wonder just how much longer newspapers will be printed. Some day, that fine newsprint we take for granted for starting our fires may no longer be available to us (or our descendants). Then what?

I've read recently that there will not be a major paper in the US by 2040, with most gone by 2030. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the very small localized papers, like the Columbine Courier or 285 Hustler, are growing in leaps and bounds and doing well. Small is the new big....

I used to call that "woosh" liquid Boy Scout Juice.

OK no one answered my original question, is the Post taking firearm ads from individuals now?

Sorry 10X-I have no idea since I probably haven't looked at a real newspaper for quite awhile now.[Beer]

You could always ask your neighbors for their's, I think most people just throw them in the trash.

I am just trying to be helpful here, thinking outside the box!
