Armslist does not know how to run a company. You must be a member to sell OR BUY, a firearm. The marketplace is so limited for sellers, it's better just to list a firearm on your local digital newspa... See more

Armslist was never as good as gunlistings was, but now that they charge membership fees, armslist has become absolutely terrible, and still has scammers running rampant. The only "legitimate" posts on there are from the same handful of failed local FFL dealers trying to sell the same overpriced absolute junk for years and years that they just can't get rid of.

Bullshit…

I think this trust pilot review platform is full of shit and pure propaganda for the purposes of bad people who want to control things. As soon as I searched armslist this review platform immediately came up even before the website. We are not all stupid

Just Two Words for it,,,

How can Armslist improve? Answer; Readapt to customer support or simply not allow private listings. They are no longer a reputable business. If you do sign on and pay the $7.00 a month and then list a firearm or anything, you can expect that john Q public will not likely even see your ad. I searched for my ad in a general search, and I couldn't find my ad anywhere. But, I immediately noticed that 4 or 5 pawn shops posted the same firearm as mine within a matter of hours. So unless you pay the big promotional bucks, you will disappear from the format. Harry Enfield stated: "I've got two words for it, Poop". That's just one word, what's the second? "Poop".

no way to cancel auto renew

They used to be free and had ads all over the place which is fine but now they charge you and theres ads all over the place. I tried to cancel my auto renew subscription and now theres no place in the menu to do that and that to me is pretty weaselly. They might respond saying where ti did it easily but I already checked all over their site so dont fall for that one. I don't think it's worth all the ads and the fee since alot of people dont use armslist anymore for those same reasons but I tell you what it's a hell of alot better than trying to deal with god damn gunbroker they have all these requirements that dont work and they bombard you with emails as if a maniac was sending them constantly and you literally have to threaten them to get them to stop anyway I havent been able to sell anything on armslist because nobody is on there.

It used to be good

It used to be good, I sold and bought handguns using the site. Always enjoyed reading the posts, comparing pricing.

Now, logging in wasn't working anymore, password recovery wasn't working anymore so I contacted Armslist and they stated " In order to read private posts and see pricing you have to pay the premium account fee of $6.99/month. This is unbelievable and I no longer use this crap, I'd rather go to a gun show now and or even purchase at my local range..bye bye Armslist, you are going bancrupt now.

Horrible

Not worth the time, cost or aggravation.
I buy, barter, sell and trade stuff.
Fourty plus years.
Craigslist, eBay, fb marketplace, trading times, you name it.
Armslist is the worst waste of time and effort of all time. Very poorly run and loaded with scammers.
Sad but true. Stay away!

I just saw a negative review of an Armslist ad that I purchased the gun posted in Las Vegas in 2020. I purchased an antique modified 22 revolver used as a prop at Spahn Movie Ranch. I was one of only 3 people that responded. Mr Libby was the son of the journalist that purchased props from George Spahn and Frank Retz. He had photos and documents from May 1970. Someone said it was overpriced....hardly. Young people are too broke and lazy to check history.

SCAM - AVOID

SCAM - Took my money for almost a year. Them when I attempted to list some of my old parts and accessories I would be shut off from posting every Friday just before quitting time or logging in. I spent about $80 for upgraded listings and received nothing but aggravation. Continuously got VM and almost impossible to get in contact with anyone in customer service. When I was able to talk to someone they always had a bad attitude.

Scamed by Armslist

I recently changed email accounts, I later found that I could no longer log into my Armslist account. I contacted Armslist to ask if they would change my email address on the account to which they replied I would have to send them a $100 payment in bitcoin so they could buy the software to change my email. I declined and told them I wanted to cancel my account to which they replied I would have to send them a $100 payment in bitcoin to cancel my account. I have texts to prove these facts from their phone number (929) 294-9021.

I was searching local for ads. SCAM

I was searching local for ads. There were 22 items listed and most needed login for pricing. After I purchased membership there was only 1 listing in my area. Site isn't truthful with available firearms.
I cancelled my subscription the same day. If you don't cancel it's charged monthly to your CC.

Colorado gun trader is free

Hey everyone check out Colorado gun trader it is free for seller and buyer unlike arm list. I will no longer use the arm list anymore. If anyone is having trouble with their account on wanting to cancel but can't because of the shady armslist, people just go to your bank to get payments canceled after that they can no longer charge your account. Let the bank know this is fraud over time Armlist will get shut down.

100% useless

Run by a bunch of greedy, complete morons.
Cannot see description, cannot see pricing without paying for their totally overpriced membership? These guys are truly complete morons. This last step in their nonsense "business" approach was just the last thing that I needed to never use them.
