whats the deal with that other site ??

[ghettodub]

there've been allot of pretty silly prices out there of late.

I have considered throwing my Ruger KP944 + Mag + SIX! Magazines and Ammo out there for ~$700

because I had the ramp polished... it makes it "Custom"

or paint it black, and then it'll be tactical!

some of the things I've seen from RMGO lately are making me a little hesitant to renew. I'm still thinking it over.

+1

mostly wondering if both are run buy the same folks

Both what?

As for price, I see high, decent, and low at all the sites I visit.

Usually too late for the low ones.

so whats the deal with that other site ??
so far things i have noticed from the other site
people are a little shady
prices tend to be high
and what iv heard is that its just a place for people to dump guns??

cologunmarket requires a minimum annual donation of $30 to post there and everyone's name, address, email, and usually phone # is on file with RMGO. I haven't seen what you are talking about when you say "shady" or "place to dump guns."

If you want to see that, take a look at armslist. Free and anonymous. Check out the WTB posts: "I lookin ta buy me a Glock, any Glock." or "I need a small cheep pistol and I got cash money." It is almost as scary as the idiots who are trying to buy and sell guns on craigslist (those ads are usually flagged within the hour, but they're funny while they last).

I buy and sell there frequently. I haven't met anyone shady. Some of the prices are kinda ridiculous but the same can be said for some of the things on this site. That's not the fault of the site or site management...it's up to the seller to set a price and a buyer to pay or not.

There are definitely deals to be had on both sites and both are great places to sell...at least that's been my experience.

Having said that, some of the things I've seen from RMGO lately are making me a little hesitant to renew. I'm still thinking it over.

What things have you seen that make you hesitant to renew? I have kinda had my head in the sand the last couple of months and have not been following what they are doing. I just renewed with them a month or so ago.

I peek on there from time to time, but haven't signed up because I don't want to donate to RMGO

I'm with ya!

It's a bad site. None of you guys looking to buy, should ever go there. Just leave all the deals for me!!!

I think it's a great site and I have met a ton of good dudes there and got a lot of great deals. Just like any where else, you have to watch what you are doing and make sure you are dealing with respectable people. I check everyones ID to make sure they are legit. There will over priced stuff no matter where you go but I have found some great deals there. I need to renew my membership.

prices are pretty high, there is an occasional deal though. just tough since you have to be a paying member to sell, so most "newbies" or "1 timers" aren't going to spend the $30 to join and would rather sell it to their buddy or sell by word of mouth.

a lot of the people on there are multiple sales people. not a bad thing in my opinion and I could care less...but the atf might not think the same way as me.

There is one guy on there who has been selling a LOT of military style firearms. I was told that ATF did check him out and everything was fine.

Most guys who sell are "multiple sales people." A lot of the guys I know sell, buy, or trade a gun in their collection every month. Sometimes you see an expensive gun you want and need to sell off some of your collection to buy it. I've seen guys sell off half their collection to pay for a new transmission in their truck or cover medical bills. And if money is tight a lot of guys feel obligated to sell a gun every time they buy a gun.

It took me a few years of buying, selling, and trading to find the guns I like best. Sometimes it can be weight or caliber or the way it feels in your hand that makes you want to get rid of a particular gun, other times it can be something as simple as you don't care for the trigger pull or you found another gun that is exactly or almost the same and don't need two or three.

I got my first gun ( after being away from guns for many years ) from cologunmarket.

It's a rather good deal to be honest but like others have said .. The prices in general do seem higher.

Maybe since we have gotten to " know each other" Around here I think some of the posts on there seem gruff...

I"m pretty sure that kind of post means they're totally legit and not the bad guys at all!
