    WTB subforum?

    I want to buy a Gen 4 G23, G27, and G34, and a Sig P320, and P938, so I thought about posting in the want to buy subforum. But would anyone selling the aforementioned popular pistols even bother looking in the WTB section? Or would they simply list the guns in the for sale section (which would be my guess)? Thinking about it, I was wondering if anyone has ever had luck finding a seller by posting in the WTB section? I would think the answer is no, but stranger things have happened. Anyone have a WTB subforum success story with a popular handgun?

    Because like most people at this time, are out of SSE slots.

      I had luck with the WTB section, but it was for an M1 carbine not a pistol.
      Im a warmonger baby, I got blood in my eyes and I'm looking at you.

        Yeah the WTB section is kinda a let down because you have to specifically visit there to find something you forgot you had and would sell.

        I also think the main for sale forums (Parts, Pistols, Rifles) should be broken up by NorCal vs SoCal and include WTB posts in them. I think we would all be better served. If you look at some of the WTB posts now, they have been bumped over 50 times.

        I spend too much time wading through sale posts in SoCal and I am sure the opposite happens for people down there. I think it would cut down on the extremely high front page turnover of posts too, which is a pretty good indication that some type of split needs to happen again.

          I've found that section useful when I sold off some gun accessories. I didn't have to post in the for sale section...

            I would still like to see a split for the Norcal and SoCal Handgun section. It is almost always annoying to see what I want and the seller can't or won't ship.

              If only there where some surreptitious way of posting what you are looking to buy in the California Handguns section and getting the exposure you desire that way.

              Hmmm...I wonder.

                I rarely use it. I just post it for sale. The few times I have used it, it was just a bunch of people looking to make some money off you.

                  Its worked for me, but I wasn't looking for a specific model, just a complete AR lower.

                    When I go to sell items, I have had better luck selling them by looking in the WTB and finding matches rather than posting items for sale.

                      I used the WTB section and was able to score an unfired PSL. It won't hurt to try. Maybe you will get lucky.

                        I've used the WTB forum to score about 60% of my Calguns acquired firearms.

                        It works for me.

                          If you don't have an SSE slot left, your gonna have to PPT anyway.

                          SOOO...be prepared to buy everything on your list via the WTB or the forsale sections, or some other way.

                          Your gonna have to watch the ads and jump on the ones you want.

                          And your gonna have to keep up on a WTB ad, and PM people that maybe selling.

                          It's gonna take SOME work on your part.....those guns aren't gonna fall into your lap.
