Classfied ad site

[agruetz]

Hi all,
I am posting this to get all of your input on weather or not you would like to see an online site for gun classifieds. A place to sell,buy or trade your guns. I have been a user of gunsamerica.com for some time. I have alot of complaints on the function of the site/layout etc... etc... I do IT work for a living now days. I used to be active duty Marine Corp so using weapons and such for fun and hunting and all that is just part of my life now days. So what I would like to do is build a new site from ground up with all the functionality and features that people who would be wanting to use a site like this would want. So I am asking for input from the communities that would most likely be using a site like this. So if you would like to have some input please post what you would like in a site like this.

I always use the for sale/trade threads associated with the forums I frequent and have had good luck.
The High Road
Gunboards.com
Glocktalk
Rimfirecentral.com

And also gunsamerica.com, gunbroker.com and auctionarms.com

Starting one from scratch would be a long row to hoe.

I agree it could be a very long road to hoe. Nor am I sure if it is worth it. Thats why I am asking for input =). I have not had much dealings with the other 2 sites you listed. But I know several people who use gunsamerica.com on a regular basis and get very frustrated with it. My main thing is. I was wondering if anyone else has these issues and would be interested in having a site built for the sole purpose of selling/buy/trading their firearm's. I my eyes doing a site like this correctly with community input could be very nice on a whole for everyone. But if there is no real support for it and no input from those communities then it is pointless and I might as well not. Thanks for the input though. We will see what others have to say about it.
