Exercise great caution with that site. Scammers abound on it.
Be careful on there. I would avoid placing wanted ads because that seems to attract the most scammers. Always ask for a "proof of life" photo so you know the person actually has the item. If someone is unwilling to give you a proof of life photo do not deal with them. The rating system works fairly well and if someone has nothing but 5 star reviews then they are probably safe to deal with. As long as you are internet savvy and scam artist aware it's a great place to buy and sell guns. I've had zero issues but I am also very careful, a buddy of mine who got excited and wasn't careful got scammed out of 1500$. It's rare but it does happen.
I’ve had zero issues buying on that site. But ask for additional pictures. If they cant give you addition picture s somethings up
Always email through the site
I get their emails, never did any transactions yet.
I’m set up on Gunnutz, good rating program!
I’m comfortable doing my firearms dealings on there.
The both use the exact same rating system. You have to be a member and all ratings are generated by member interactions. GunNutz is ok but the selection is pretty flat. Often I've found things for sale on Gunpost that are not available through GunNutz.
Yeah I should look into it a bit more. Just don’t need another place to tempt me to spend money. lol.Quote:

Gunnutz ive purchased 1 or 2 from out west. Went smooth
Gunpost I’ve purchased and sold within Ontario, went smooth.
Also check out townpost , and outdoorsmenforum.ca buy and sell section. I always end up talking to people over the phone to get a feel for them
This is really the best advice - always ask for plenty of photos. Me personally, I would always be hesitant on dealing with someone with no reviews (no prior sales) and would always favour buying from someone with many reviews - you can find some sellers that have already had hundreds of transactions and plenty of 5 star reviews.Quote:

Other options are to ask for specific photos with the person holding up a certain number of fingers or certain item arranged a certain way.
I talked to my seller he had legit business in SASK. welding...you have to be careful I agree
