Title: Buying from Armslist & Shipping
Post by: pickardjw on August 12, 2021, 01:32:50 PM: Has anyone ever bought from Armslist from a vendor that ships? Wondering how secure and reliable the process is. Looking for a P320 M18 and haven't been able to find one local.

If it’s a private party then party at your own risk.

Post by: konradcountry on August 13, 2021, 05:10:09 PM: I would only buy from a dealer on gunbroker. It is easy to check their ffl.

Your credit card might not cover guns for fraud coverage. Sometimes guns get thrown in the "seedy" category.

Armslist is a sketchy place. There was a problem with my account and they weren't able to fix it. My ad was left online and no one was able to contact me. Not a good sign when the company can't fix their own accounts.

I read somewhere that it is really just a couple guys running it from their basement.
