That is one place that is infested with mouth breathers!! Steer clear of armslist. I have a few guys that I have dealt with on there that I would trust and I keep their numbers in my phone. Talk to good guys, get a pool of good references. Other than that, stay away.!!
If you are going to be involved in this hobby/passion building a circle of trusted people is the key. If you do this then you have all of their circles as well. Maybe not directly but if you put out a feeler for a specific piece you will most likely find one.
Some folks have to use the bigger sites due to the level of involvement. Older collectibles etc.
I must have been having a good streak on INGO. I’ve never had a bad transaction or conversation over buying or selling. I’ve had numerous negatives with armslist. And it’s like you said, lowball offers, negative emails, and one felon attempted purchase. I think this goes back to what Church was saying, get some resources and feed from that.It’s not any different than Craigslist. Be aware and be cautious and you will be fine.
The worst experiences I’ve had with it are lowball offers and irritated people when you decline their offers. Otherwise every transaction has been smooth sailing. I’ve had similar experiences with the classifieds here.
Ouch LJ, I think I know what you'd do if you got your hands on this Oxygen Thief.
Buyer beware on Armslist, I recently saw a nice deal on a $300 Glock-42 .380, I asked where the pistol was at, and got a response that payment would have to be made, how was payment going to be made etc, etc.
I revisited the Armslist ad and thought it was being sold in INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA, but the ad said INDIANA,INDIANA.
Sucker scam for sure.
You find him shoot his eye out.

Armslist version of putting someone's phone number in the men's room?
