    Not true. Scammers use email in their ads all the time. Here, and on Armslist.

    Not saying it's perfect, but now ads without email or phone number can safely be assumed to be a scam and I can move on to other posts.

    Not so sure on that one man... I have a posting still up there from before they went paid only and there still seems to be plenty of people willing to pay. I think it's dumb of them, but hey there's always someone willing to take people's money...

    To note, since I'm not a paid user, I can't edit my post but.... I still get emails apparently.

    You can still edit if you have the original confirmation email from Armslist. At least I have been able to multiple times.

    If you get on MeWe there are several gun groups in MI and you can buy and sell guns there for free.

    You would think that by now private sellers would start at least putting their email address in the listing to attract the people
    who don't want to pay the fee.

    I’m on MeWe in a bunch of reloading groups but I hadn’t found any that specifically dealt with buying and selling within Michigan.

    Searched again and found a couple though.

    Yeah I’m pretty sure I deleted that one since I could just login and edit before.
