    I say we should do it by caliber

    In seriousness I like the long gun/handgun split. I feel like alot of people are browsing to buy. While a region split would be cool, it does not make to much sense. For example some one living in San Diego is going to have to make approx hour drive for someone in fresno. I have always wanted the split between long gun/handgun though. So I am bias to it.

      I like the Long Gun/Handgun split.

      As long as the seller remembers to put the Location into the add, like the rules state.

        I think the N. Cal./S. Cal split would work since most people prefer not to ship. It's irritating to see a firearm you're interested in only to click the link to find out its down south and they won't ship.

          I voted for geographical split. I will no longer have to yearn for a good deal in Socal

            I am typically looking for the right thing. It is kind of I'll know it when I see it. and want to see both long guns and handguns in the same section. Would much rather see a geographic split since I am only going to do a FTF transfer and guns for sale in southern California are pretty much off limits to me.

              If the buyer is willing to ship what does geographic location mean?

                After using the pistol and long gun split, I don't like it, especially when someone is selling both.

                I have been a fan of the NorCal and SoCal split for awhile now and it makes better sense, then sellers can lump all they want to sell according to region. I also hate getting psyched out when I think I found one I want and then discover its up north, AwShucks.

                Go with the north and south division and never look back, at least give it a try and change it if for reasons it doesn't work out. Thanks for the consideration and trying something new.

                    Lets face it, shipping a firearms is the least likely option or occurrence I think, although it happens, it's an expense that usually makes it a bad deal.

                      I like the split of long guns-handguns. I for one have no interest in rifles. It would be better if the ad required location, as I always do a sort on Fresno. Thanks for the change.

                        So I've been using marketplace for my long gun purchases (pre 2014 stock up) and always scan everything for some kind of deal. When location is listed in heading (close to me, northern ca) I always look.
                        I'd like to see location in heading (if they won't ship) but what really annoys me is multiple gun listings. One will sell and I still have to scroll through the thread to see which one is gone. Usually the one I want. Seems fine with accessories and parts but each firearm should have its own posting.
                        I do like seeing what's available down south. Kind of keeps things in perspective. Plus, if its that awesome, road trip!
                        Really dig the forum and how fast you delete the knuckle heads.

                          I checked it out today. I like the new split handgun/ long gun. Weeding out the locations is not bad. I like to compare prices between north and south.
                          If it was split up more, there would be only 1 or 2 pages. And no need to bump a post.

                            I like the split , but I've noticed there are still a lot of handguns listed on the long gun layout . If I have to check out both of them anyway I would rather have them in one. Hopefully everyone will learn to list the proper item in the proper marketplace.
