I don't like all the pop up ads either but they have to make a buck. I think the classifieds here are great! I've found some good stuff. Sometimes, the whining about how things are get to me more than anything. I hate to sound like an ass but if you don't like the way things are here, go start the perfect forum and invite all of us to come join.

Has that f|_|cking pop up advertisement always been here? Its getting to be quite intrusive and annoying. Almost as annoying as the tools who will spout off about pop up blocking apps as soon as I finish typing this Download adblock, it's free. ^^^^^^^ I don't like all the pop up ads either but they have to make a buck.

My only complaint is the new guys with low post counts have "NO" communication manners. They send PM'S with no name to reference a proper reply.
I sold 3 die sets in December and received several messages asking "If the die's were in good shape". Really???
i helped one campfire member needing shotgun hulls and added extra hulls and factory folded boxes
for 20 gauge and Winchester factory folded 28 gauge boxes.....NOT EVEN A PM OR TEXT..... Thank you. I gave him the hulls and just charged for the shipping. 28 gauge hulls are hard to come by these days.
To many "Children" have invaded our classified forum.

WAY different than it used to be. We now have a lot more classified cowboys and dealers with gun show prices. I get it they are just trying to make a living and have every right to be here. But it is WAY different than it used to be. I did have an old time member sell me a box and a half of Barnes TTSXs a while back for, i know was less than he had into them. Didn't need them anymore so when i posted a looking for add he passed them along. Still a few guys around like that but MANY more would of asked two times what they are new. And ya if someone puts something on at a good price, if you can't respond right away, forget it. But hey don't worry it'll be back on in a few days for double. No it's nothing like it used to be. Agree. Also someone said to have email notices for new posts on the classified. I don't live online; I am on in the morning and in the evening at the very most. We're competing against members that work online, they have the advantage over us members that don't work online. Most of the time you see the items you missed and sometimes you get lucky

There has been a big change since the pandemic started. At any given time there are 2-3 times move people logged in to the classifieds and many of these folks have more flexibility and time available to surf the internet. Certain items have become scarce at retail so there are a lot items that are snapped up without consideration for the relatively high prices. Hopefully this will get better someday but for now we'll just need to adapt. Cheers

I'm always too late to buy what I want, but I have been able to give something away and too scared to sell anything because of low posts.

Low post counts should not deter you from buying or selling on the fire. I relatively new and have a low post count relative to the founding dinosaurs still roaming this forum (🤣 just kidding?). The majority of members here are terrific and straight shooters, save some real turds. I have always been respectful honest, and prompt in my dealings (all buying no selling yet) and everything always works out. The fire One of the best resources on the web to date bar none.
Sheer membership has obviously taken the "hometowniness" of yore away, but that is what it is and should be anticipated.
Enjoy everything while it's still around. Lots of great people and info on here
Be safe.

I’ve gotten to the point, where if someone is looking for something, and I have an excess I will offer it to them, and say pay it forward. So far it has worked fine and they’ve always were grateful and said thanks. There lots of good people here!!!!

At least gemby58 and his cohorts Chudly and Smoloman haven't been on here since Dec 28th (coincidence??). Seems quite a bit more civilized this last month.

There lots of good people here!!!! Yep, still a lot of solid gentleman here. Someone referenced folks PM'ing in anonymity and communication manners displayed – BIG +1 to that. You PM with an inquiry, you best introduce yourself - it's what men do.

Have been on the side of missing good deals.
But as they say, "Don't Hate the Playa, Hate the Game"
(Lost out of some good deals in the past too)
Is this a Classified Post, maybe should be elsewhere IMHO

I know some have given up on WTB ads because of scammers, but in my experience, you can find rifles here that you aren't going to find elsewhere and for very reasonable prices.
