I have been using armslist for eight years and now I have to pay for it? Thats o.K.. But my routing number? No way. I do business with the largest companys in the world and my debit card has always been enough. None of them asked for my routing no.

I signed up for your new version of user upgrade I filled out all the info you requested including my visa number for payment, and have had no response back even though I wrote several times to try to find out whats wrong or whats the status of my request. Im requesting my request be aheared to. I done my part as you requested now do yours please. If this is your new system it needs a lot of tweeking for sure. Here is my e-mail

Armslist now requires you to be a member in order to place an item -- not a problem -- but now to even contact a seller you must be a member. again - MAYBE no problem - but I am paying for a service and they are allowing scammers to post items for sale --- how do I know -- they items are new and below dealer cost - by a lot. anyone should know that a gun that sells for $2000 should not be listed for $1200. If they are going to allow scammer and have you pay to contact them, then they should be offering insurance on the transaction. They supposedly are doing this because they are being sued again ---- maybe I should get in line --- armslist is becoming a money grabbing third party broker with ZERO responsibility

A dealer in Sarasota FL was listing 3 different shotguns on armslist for sale (panzer BP-12)- listing want you to click on a link to their web site — once on their site they say they are not in stock — why allow items to be listed if they do not have the item — how about you - requiring items to be in stock before they are listed

This following email & so called name and address did a scam on me. I've recovered the money, still working on the ffl, beginning to think he is in on it. Here is the info:

Sorry wouldn't let me submit without more characters, said to little words it wouldn't be noticed. I happen to believe the opposite.

Hello, I sent a money order to Tony Davis of $830 on April 11, 2019. I have all paperwork proof. I also have all emails. The address the money order was sent to is.
4170 Cypress Green Lane
Vero Beach, Florida 32967.
He will not email back and still nothing as of April 29, 2019.
I sent money for a Marlin 1895 SBL with Leupold $805 after shipping it was $830.
The post ID: 9775986.
I have the money order serial number if needed.
I have emailed many times asking for a update.

So, I just listed an item there and a few hours later it was reported as spam, probably by a local gun dealer that uses armslist in houston. Total bs and never received any correspondence regarding my classified ad before they marked it as a scam.

Well fu armslist!

Oh, the number that is listed for them here is the local atf office.

People... Don't even bother with this bs website

I have been a verified Armslist member for years now. Have bought and sold thousands of dollars in firearms related items Iver the years. I recently ran into a problem however.
I had a rifle for sale and was contacted via email about if I wanted to trade it. I told the guy I'm not interested in trading. I was then cursed up and down by this guy, another verified member, for saying I'm not interested. He then proceeded to tell me he would remove my listings and have my account blocked. (All of this transpired over my personal email). I was then contacted by another member that like to watch for my items because of the quality of the stuff I post up for sale when I'm selling. This member told me that my listing had been removed. As I looked into it yes it was removed. I tried to repost only to have it be ghosted. Basically I can't post anything at all. So here I am being punished for selling. Now is where it gets even better. I opened a new account and reposted the rifle. Only to have it removed again with in 24 hours!
This guy has continued to contact me via a new email thinking it's funny that he can do this to me a member in good standings that doesn't cause trouble.
Keep in mind none of this transpired anywhere but my personal email.
So after the 3rd attempt, I finally Google Armslist contact # and call them. I am greeted on the phone by someone with a heavy accent that I can barely understand. I explained the situation and provide this harassing members email address and he tells me he can reinstate my account and look into the problem I am having with this other member for $500! I ask what's the $500 is for. And he says so they can look into the emails. Keep in mind the emails are mine and I have them, not Armslist!
This guy was rude and if this is what Armslist is all about them I'm done with you!
In all seriousness, why would anyone pay $500 to have Armslist turn my private individual account back on that someone else that's harassing me got banned?!?!? Not only that but why would I pay $500 for Armslist to look at emails they don't even have, I do!
You at Armslist are loosing more and more good members like myself for this kind of games your playing and not doing your part in stopping this harassment going wild on the site!
So now, 4 days later, I still can't use Armslist. And nothing is going anywhere. Seems like a serious scam system to me. When you want $500 to do nothing but turn in a free account!

As the distance was signicant and I am totally disabled and I have to have someone ride as I get tired. All was progressing to me driving to see Mr. Bob Robella - [protected]@hotmail.com. I had lined up a friend to go with me. He said - first come gets it. I was actually thinking of sending a chunk money via wire transfer to hold the gun to weekend, as traveling a long distance massive pain is triggered in head

In every way I was gracious, agreeable and accomidating. I never questioned price and believe sportsmen have values to represent the sport with good example. You may not consider this treatment bad, but do you have room for men who say they are sportman and act like a pig. Is this the clients you want . I buy and sell all the time on site. This guy is first to ever take me down the path and than cost me money and time only to be slammed. This guy has no place with all the fair and decent people who are sportsman. I doubt you will do anything, but I have all the communication of this guy. Thanks for any action Ron LaPine r.[protected]@gmail.com
