    Armlist

    Was just looking through their listing, all the new ones to see the description you have to sign in. This must be to keep people from posting their contact information so buyers can by pass the membership dues.

    I have not experienced this. Can you post a link to one that's doing it?

    It look like it just affects private sales not "premium vendors"

    That’s new. Had a tab open from the other day, so I refreshed it and now that crap appears. Guess we found yet another reason not to use Armslist.

    They are, at least in part, doing this to cut down on SCAMMERS. Scammers don't pay to play and since Armslist has made these changes, we have seen a huge influx of scammers running their scams here. Unfortunately, a number of folks here have fallen victim and lost their money.

    How? Meeting up somewhere and trading goods for cash seems pretty straightforward and low risk.

    Venmo someone with 2 posts here and ship? Yeah, that’s smart.

    This is how I feel, but some are too trusting

    I think the scammers are doing it via shipping and not face-to-face.

    Just looked at armlist for the first time in about a month, now you can’t even see the price unless you sign in except for premium vendors.
