Mojoe Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm on Ohio guns and more for sale n trade, and Central Ohio guns and ammo pages. Just wondering if any of you are on there. There are many many posts daily. They aren't always the best deals, or posts from someone you want to deal with, but there are some good ones on there from time to time. Just FYI.

Mojoe Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's hard not to beat people up on some of them. Makes me very happy we have our CR Gun Crew to do business with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yep i'm on a few. Picked up an almost brand new Pheonix Arms 22 with box and 500 rds of 22lr for $140 back in October. Didn't even have to drive far.The dude was even completely okay with a bill of sale and showing me his drivers license. A lot of the posts on there you just have to ignore though.. Like the people selling those cheap buckets of bulk 22 for $75. Saw a nice Taurus 9mm revolver on there this morning for $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yes. The people I tried to buy off of always canceled or quit responding to me. I have had a really bad experience. CR on the other hand is the complete opposite. I rather buy/sell/trade on here. I still have an empty mag in my car waiting on a stupid trade from someone.

Diamonds Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I've bought about 5 things and sold about 10 in 2014 on various FB groups. Some more serious (less flakey) than others. On your average "Ohio guns for sale" board you will find people trying to unload glocks, XD's, and old revolvers for too high of prices. they are also the types that lowball you on your stuff. It's actually a lot like a gun show. Haters/lowballers everywhere. Also, every other deal "doesn't happen" due to a flaker. ON THE OTHER SIDE... I am a member of 2-3 groups where they are nationwide based on niche interests (Long range shooting, NFA stuff, ETC) and people are VERY easy to deal with. Never had a flaker (buyer or seller) and my stuff usually sells in a day because I offer good prices (as does everyone else). IE - I sold a Remington 700 barrel in 3 hours for 120.00 shipped, was paid in 1 minute, and shipped the barrel out that afternoon. IE - I sold a BOX full of stocks (LWRC compact, HK, and 2 Mission First Tactical) in 10 minutes for 280.00. Was paid in 2 minutes, and shipped the next morning. IE - I bought a used 762 Noveske KX3 for cheap, paid instantly, and had it in 2 business days. I could cite 3-4 other examples but you get the picture.

Mojoe Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I may unjoin the Ohio trade/gun one. I get too frustrated by some on the posts there and have a hard time not saying anything. A guy posted a 1911, .45 this morning saying he wanted to trade "what you got?" The pic looked shady with the gun in hand with beat up lockers in the background. I offered to trade an English book for the gun, and from there it was entertaining, with many people liking my comment. The posted ended up being deleted within an hour or so. All it really comes down to this for me, firearms are a responsibility and should have a level of professionalism with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try to let them ride for a few more days but I'm fighting the urge to leave the groups already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ive always had good luck with armslist and on here, but I'm also on several gun groups on Facebook and I've seen a few deals but most seem overpriced. The one I do like is the small one Bob invited me to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I did the same with a group. The level of poor grammar and spelling with the lack of effort made by 85% of sellers really dissuades me from staying around. It's just like any car page on there in reality.
