Guns buy sell trade
« on: February 02, 2016, 08:13:01 AM »
Facebook is deleting a lot of gun buy sell trade pages which sucks but Zuckerburg is the big cheese and I guess he can do what he wants.
Anyways I hope this link is allowed here if not then Paul or one of the mods can axe it but I think this site has potential.. ;)

It looks like a cool site, but I have become fond of this site, and I don't go on facebook so it does not affect me much.  I wonder if we are not better off to use the gear for sale site here, and grow traffic as much as we can. This is just a question Sonny, and by no means meant to rain on your find. I have found it hard to be in to many places at once, and be part of the community, by sticking to this site I'm hoping to get to know the people, so the trust can be build to buy and sell if one wants to one day. My thoughts anyway.

No worries lever..

This new albertaguns site doesn't seem to be taking off very well.

The old AlbertaGuns Facebook page had over 12,000 members and there was some good deals to be had,some not so good deals also tho.. :o

And yes I'm all for growing this place as most long timers here know..lol  8)

btw....I'm still looking for a double .410 or a pump..  ;)

I echo those thoughts lever.

There is Canadian Gun Nuts out there already so personally I don't see the point in that site but power to them I guess.

Well the old Alberta FB pages was kinda nice because it was local and you could meet up with a seller and BS with them and get to know them.
Canadagunnutz on the other hand is more business like and not as friendly in my opinion.Plus lots of those guys only want EMT..

I don't even know how to do that.. :o

I'm with you there Sonny. I have never taken the time to learn . I am a strong believer in face to face or at least know the guy. And I'm a touchy, feely ,kind of guy. Like to put my hands on it. I guess it must be an old school thing. My kids do buy the other way, and to them it's just part of today's shopping.

I always had a notion to make a kijiji style site for outdoor gear, including guns. May still do it one day. Gunnutz has all kinds of very official rules there almost to the point of accepting liability for transactions, the whole model of it makes no sense, a private forum should not be concerned with transactions and controlling it, by doing so they create a liability. All it takes is a simple "recommended" practices and advice disclaimer.

Well I will miss the FB for sale sites. :(

My last eight transactions were face to face.

3 in Hinton
3 in Edmonton
2 in Edson

But the worst part is that we just lost a bit of our freedom and have been censored by a bunch of crazy lefties.. >:(

That last part is right sonny. Two of them met tonight in Edmonton to fix all our problems. With hope, Alberta will one day be ours again, built on freedom and independence. Who made this deal with the devil?

Not doing face to face has one big down side and its getting worse. Scammers are everywhere now and taking lots of people money and providing no guns. CGN has lots and that other forum has its share too. I have bought quite a few on line but a guys got to do his due diligence for sure. Up side is with the present economy many are selling firearms and some great deals are to be had out there on some firearms that would not have ever made it out of any safes pre NDP.

This is a new auction site but I think most of these guys are crooks.

Yup, Facebook is a joke when it comes to guns.  Only the punk gangsta types can point their illegal guns in their pics and show their F-fingers.
What a joke Zuckerburg!  >:(

All big internet is anti gun. Google and Facebook for sure. Ebay doesn't allow gun or gun parts. Kijiji doesn't either. Someone dare me to make a Kijiji style site that allows gun sales.....
