Armslist is a good place to get an occasional deal, but diligence is required. Just like the old saying goes, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". One of the best tricks to discover scam listings is to run a search on either the title text, or the entire text of the ad. The scammers are too lazy to write anything for themselves, and simply cut & paste. If it is a scam, that search will turn up a corresponding Gunbroker, Gunauction, or Gunsamerica listing, either current or ended. They copy the auction text, as well as the pictures. BINGO!!! Exactly what I do. Found many scam ads on armslist when I am looking for a specific firearm which forces me to look beyond my local area.

I answered an ad on Armslist that had a Ruger Hawkeye 9,3X62 for sale. He was using photos of MY gun in his ad! My message to Armslist fell on deaf ears. NEVER trust that site!  I also saw an ad for Llewellin setters that used photos I had posted here of my puppies. I got no reply to my email from the "breeder". I think he knew my name. His site is no more now.
