ya you guys, unless its through paypal, its kind of shady. i literally just got scammed on a $50 AR part.

if one does it 20 times or so, thats some cash right there.

Buyer beware everywhere...

[Fate]

Armslist is notoriously thick with scammers.

[DoddRod]

Well ****. I just ordered 3 Hi power mags off armslist...

[smith and wesson]

I wouldn't trust anyone on armslist that wanted me too send them money.

[glad5tone]

Also beware of agents trying to bust you, not just on Armslist.

[dyson]

Just like craigslist i would only do ftf

[BoJackUSMC]

I only trust gunbroker, buds, ammo bros, riflegear, and calguns.

[Dannicus]

I buy and sell guns and stuff on Armslist all the time. Never had any problem, but I only do it ftf at Krispy Kream.

I don't know why anyone would do remote business with people on there. Sucker born every minute, I suppose.

I saw some clown selling a Barrett 82A1 on an other forum. The details of how it was set up was impressive and well spelled. Then you get to his terms and you could tell he was not from around here. First post too and an $8k package or whatever it was. Anyways, I got a good laugh because it had scam written all over it.


I did a search and the ad was still up with a moderator comment.

MODERATOR EDIT:
Guys,
if it sound too good to be true, it probably is... The gun lists for $12,000 and the Schmidt & Bender for $3,500.
A search of his email address shows ads on multiple forums where he lists his location as Oregon, California, Michigan and Louisiana.
