    Isn't Armslist the one where members have to pay a membership fee guaranteeing worry-free transactions?

    Amen!

    I was unaware of this and sold a couple firearms on armslist and the shite I had to answer and respond to was whack, WORSE than craigslist people. Refuse to deal with either in the last year.

    What I hate about both craigslist and armslist. You list at a good reasonable price and people still low ball you beyond belief. Feel like I am in a Mexican outdoor market.

    The last sale listing on Armslist was an item that everywhere I looked (local shops, online sellers) were selling for $1000 at the lowest, I list for $800 as I had no paperwork for authentication and some annoying person tells me I am crazy for trying at that price, no one will buy it for that and offered me $200 less than I asked, ........go eat a brick dude, leave me alone............I actually sold the item for what I wanted and more to a C&R FFL collector in another state. We talked on the phone and he was surprised I was selling it so low and offered me a little more for my time and hassle if I sent it to him ( i said no out of state sales in my listing.) That is the last thing I will sell on Armslist ever.

    Your funny.......

    It wasn't the fact they low-balled me, it is how they did it and then stocked me for a week.

    (never gave me his name in the email)
    Them: "Can I get detailed pictures of the receiver and stock?"

    Me: Sure sent, let me know. (phone number)

    Them: "I have some concerns over this and that.............. I really dont think it is worth what you are asking for it. Will you go lower?

    Me: what would you offer?

    Them: "$600 I dont think it is worth more."

    Me: no thanks, thank you for your interest.

    Them: Okay, but I don't think your going to get want your asking.

    3 days in a row every night: "You still have it?" I just ignored all the emails.

    I made a mistake of putting my cell # in the email to him. He randomly called and since he never gave me his name in the email I didn't know it was him and called him back and he was "you sell it yet? My offer stands at $600 and will even drive to your house to pick it up." I said sorry I am not going that low.
    He left me one other message but I ignored that and emailed me again with his offer a couple days later. I was in a deal with this C&R FFL collector in georgia. I replied to him once and said I sold it for this, got what I wanted and more. Thank you for your interest. never heard from them again.

    I had no idea the design of the 1911 has been changed.

    Armslist jackholes can be a pain. But, I have to say I've had better luck with buyers on Armslist than I have with CoGunMkt.

    Sellers...suck on both sites for the most part.

    The guys here have been 100% top-notch reliable in my experience.

    Tread lightly with folks on ARMSLIST. I dont hold their word as anything higher the what an Ant can lift above their head. YMMV
