Here on the Campfire it used to be where friends would buy, sell, and trade between each other. We were hunters and shooters who helped each other out.
Have you noticed Classifieds have been taken over by people who do nothing but post on Classifieds. They offer NOTHING else to this site. They do not contribute any hunting or shooting knowledge.
They are here for only one reason. To make a buck $$$ off legitimate members.
These people are your "gun show" people. These same people are the ones who horde and drive up prices.
Who try to take advantage of the hunters and shooters who are here sharing information with each other.
Just to note, I will comment on their pricing.
And, just my opinion, I am not asking anyone to agree with me.
We don't need them.
That "Campfire" of which you speak burned out long ago. It's been replaced by a shill's paradise.
The owner, who used to be a regular, sold out long ago. Reference the political ads and the other crap that pops up so often and veraciously that most people here run ad block software just for this site. It doesn't matter, as he gets paid for hit traffic and clicks on ads where you are likely to click on the accidentally.
After the owner sold out, the Classified became a free-for-all and those who do nothing other than run businesses through here (legally or otherwise - safariman and Larry Root types) dominate it.
If you get REALLY lucky, you'll catch a deal still ever blue moon. Otherwise, it just isn't worth even checking here any longer.
As with the nation, sites often follow the path of their leader. This one has been obvious for a while.
