Hey Gens.

Is it me or there is a flood of scam/fake postings on NJ armslist ?

I went on there once or twice and never again. I can't believe people send money to random sellers through it. At least forums other members speak for you and leave feedback. 

 

Just a bad idea.

Couple of times I posted there for sale, got inquires about doing transaction without paperwork. Gave them NJSP number to call.

I've had a few successful transactions thru armslist (mostly as a seller), but all were FTF.  I would never send money.  I don't even like using gunbroker and it has a feedback system lol

 

personally, I dont mind armslist at all.  its helped me sell things rather quickly and efficiently

this is a drawback, but you can easily ignore and delete...  I mentioned this to my PD once and they didn't give 2 shits so.. yea end of that story.  

Yeah..it seems there are a lot more BS posts lately. If the location says New Jersey, New Jersey. Its most likely a scam

I have used them a couple of times (as a seller) with good results. No real issues. However, I have also come across a couple of people who were trying to buy illegally, which is not cool with me.

 

I make the transactions in the parking lot of a very busy local range, which happens to have a bunch of cameras in the lot. This way we are both traveling to and from a range, we are both on camera if something goes wrong, and I don't have to have a stranger come to my home. Plus, they can try out their new toy right then and there if they want.

 

It certainly makes me feel safer doing it this way, and I think the buyer is relieved also. After all, to them I could be a wackjob, theif, etc.

I visit the site daily. I love the new version they came out with. It's much better. I can block vendors so I don't have to see the same dudes posts with the same overpriced listenings.

 

I have seen tons of listings that are too tempting lately. Be very careful with these guys.

wow didn't realize the site changed.  huge improvement!  I see a bunch I want to buy as well

I believe we are all looking at the same listings and I believe all of them are fake/scam which is exactly y I started this thread ...

I want that SAR-1...  bastards

Found a CX4 i was looking for on there. Offered a little less than asking price since i would have to drive all the way up to Morris county to get it. Guy accepted offer and then a week later when trying to set up a meetup all the sudden he wants more money. WTF is wrong with people???

Probably was offered more money in the meantime. Why wait a week when you agree on price?

 

On the opposite hand, I've had plenty of people on Craigslist offer less money when they show up.

The wait was a timing thing

I had cash in hand but it's about a 100 mile trip 1 way for me.
