top_notch Posted January 21, 2021 at 06:01 AM Share Posted January 21, 2021 at 06:01 AM I used to peruse Armslist. But now with that sight wanting to charge me to look at listings mostly filled with ammo scalpers, I don't go there often. I know this site has a for sale section. But not finding what I want, curious if there are other sites that you might know of. I've tried highroad and firingline too. I know of a couple on social media, but I'm sure there's more that I'm not aware of. Anyone care to enlighten me? Looking for ftf transactions in IL.

Euler Posted January 21, 2021 at 06:31 AM Share Posted January 21, 2021 at 06:31 AM There's GunBroker. I believe the only way to specify state of origin is in the advanced search. Disclaimer: I've never bought a gun there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn Posted January 21, 2021 at 07:56 AM Share Posted January 21, 2021 at 07:56 AM I have bought several things off Gunbroker over the years and even one firearm that was local and done face to face, no complaints. I used to also browse GunsAmerica.com, they used to have a ton of offerings but over the years the offerings have become more limited, never bought anything but I used to use their FFL list to find local FFLs when I was price shopping on multiple firearm transfers. And last but not least it's rare and a long shot but try exploiting the one advantage to FOID, try a search for FOID in that big classified site or that big social media marketplace, I have seen some gems slip through over the years if you bring a decoder ring to the party.

dogsoldier321 Posted January 21, 2021 at 01:23 PM Share Posted January 21, 2021 at 01:23 PM I can view armslist for free...I thought you only pay if you want to make contact, but I have found many sellers put their contact information in the listing which circumvents the need to pay. I am sure location makes the selection a bit easier for some, but I have been successful in finding what I want locally doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windermere Posted January 21, 2021 at 01:57 PM Share Posted January 21, 2021 at 01:57 PM Gunbroker.com I’ve used it a few times in 2020. Easy and secure, good experience every time. Just look for the seller’s rating and reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsoldier321 Posted January 21, 2021 at 02:41 PM Share Posted January 21, 2021 at 02:41 PM I have used gunbroker many times as well, I have always had smooth and easy transactions and as noted, you can view feedback about your seller prior to buying.

ealcala31 Posted January 21, 2021 at 02:58 PM Share Posted January 21, 2021 at 02:58 PM GB and GA are all great sites to shop at but if you're looking for someone local, you should give them a call 1st before you purchase. Typically, most of my inventory is $10-$20 cheaper if you buy it from my website. I save you the $$$ I would have to pay GB or GA in most cases. If you're just looking for someone to do a transfer, different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somezero Posted March 2, 2021 at 07:34 PM Share Posted March 2, 2021 at 07:34 PM Yeah i don't have anything it must be based on me account being new without a lot of posts. I'd post a pic but the settings don't allow new accounts to post pics only links i think https://imgur.com/UU7lHL7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted March 2, 2021 at 07:44 PM Share Posted March 2, 2021 at 07:44 PM I think you need 10 posts to see the sale section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
