I hate the CG classified section

[SDDAVE56]

I like to browse. Matter of fact I bought two handguns here. I just don't like having to wade through all the black rifles, and plastic pistols to find one thing Im interested in looking at.

"I hate the CG classified section"

Hate is a bad word.

No dessert for you tonight OP.

Man, if I'm broke I don't look anywhere. Not my local, not here, not Gunbroker. I need to be selling, not buying. The only issues I've had with the marketplace are folks not leaving a rating or whatever. One seller was salty I didn't need 500 rounds of $3 a round ammo for a big game rifle when he threw in 100 pieces of unfired brass. 100 pieces of brass is a lifetime of hunting ammo for a youngster, and I'm pushing 60.

The market section needs more features.

[xrMike]

Never seen that forum, never will. I don't buy used guns, only new.

[EsotericEpsilon]

Perhaps Musk should buy out CG and weed out the libs, fakes, and whiners...

[Garbcollector]

Haven't sold any firearms on the marketplace in many years, but the parts and accessories and ammo side has been a challenge recently

It indeed is an addiction, just when you think that you have nothing left to add to your collection, in comes this random guy who's username you've never seen on here with a pistol you want now .

[Tim padilla]

It can be addictive.If you have the cash to buy something .Don’t browse around if you don’t have the coin.
The marketplace for me was what I signed up for back in 2017 .i needed to use a avenue to sell some of my good grade firearms to help a few friends during the Thomas Fire where I’m from in Ventura county. It helped with that it helped me find nice firearms to add to my collection that are NOT run of the mill plastic guns or revolvers with stupid Hilary holes.
German Sigs, pre lock Smiths Colt SAA & 1911 real 70 series...Heck YES !!!Say whatever about marketplace,I don’t want new guns you can have them

I'm somewhat of an impulse buyer. If I see something that strikes my fancy, I'm more than willing to whip out the stack of Benjamins.

But I RARELY look at the Calguns classified section. Why? Because of the lame "bump allowance." If you check the classifieds every week, you have to see the same ads... what?... seven times? You have to scroll through seven times the number of ads you would see in a well regulated forum for classified ads.

After seeing the same ad several times, I lose interest. The "normal" guy who might have posted an ad several days ago, is obscured by all the keyboard warriors who "bump" their ads like clockwork.

I'm not complaining, as there are other ways to spend my cash. But if the administrators read this, perhaps they'll want to streamline the buying experience for their users.

[Tortugatron]

It’s crazy looking at the classifieds now. Every time I see something I may want shipping isn’t even considered.

We have a couple of REALLY good mom and pop FFL’s in CdA too that would make it easy.

[xblax619]

OP, I have to admit I suffer from the same affliction. I try to avoid local shops as well as many times the impulse is harder to fend off if I can fondle things up close as opposed to seeing ads online

[static2126]

I used to browse a lot. Now I just primarily sell pistol optics I no longer need

[stilly]

Sounds like you kinda set yourself up for that one OP. If you're looking for a re-loader why were you in the handguns sub-forum?

I am wondering if the OP means he was looking for a LOADED MC or something. Typically there are a line of LOADED 1911s or operators from Springfield arms.

I had a Loaded MC and I know they have several variants, maybe a Reloaded is a rareer model...
