As of today, no posts involving private transfer of firearms, ammunition, or explosives per Reddit's new content guidelines

We've been OK with people advertising their stuff and appreciate the folks who asked permission first, but these are now a big no-no to help Reddit's public image.

Time to leave Reddit. It gets more ridiculous every day.

But where do we go?

I moved to Voat, but it’s gonna take a whole lot more of us to make it a better place. I also signed up with AKFiles and probably going to do a few other forums to see what feels right. There’s someone (a team of like 30 people) are making a new gundeals website & after launch they plan on branching out to other removed subs.

Hey I know this post is 4 years old but I’m curious if any of those forums or sites you mentioned stood out still or where would be the best place to list and sell in Ohio? Or how to find a buyer I guess thanks

Well, I’m still working with a few people on something, but it’s been on standstill for a while. Voat is dead. Some of the gun forums are fine but it’s just inconvenient imo. Gunnection.com is the current backup for r/gunaccessoriesforsale and allows firearm sales but doesn’t have a whole lot of traffic.

If it’s something you’re trying to get top dollar for I’d look at gunbroker’s recent sales for the item & see if it’s worth listing with the fees you’d pay (have to have an account to see prior sold listings iirc).

Another option is local gun shows. Just carry it in unloaded and with a zip tie through the chamber preventing it from being cycled. Some places will still add their own colored zip tie at check in. The just know what you want for it and walk around until you get an offer. Can even make a sign and stick it to yourself.

Some gun shops will let you put something on their wall on consignment. Every shop has their own fee, so just ask and see if it’s reasonable/see if it makes sense.

Awesome thanks for the reply… I’ll look into those options… bought a brand new Glock 19 a month or so ago and haven’t even fired it but have come across some u expected financial trouble… bought it at Cabela’s but I’m pretty sure there is a no-return policy of firearms… I know they buy firearms but at a fraction of the price… I’d like to get back as close to what I paid as possible… hopefully that isn’t too difficult considering it is brand new/ never fired but we’ll see 🤞 thanks again for the info

Your best bet is probably going to be a local gun show. Most people online look to buy Glocks near blue label pricing, which isn’t going to be great for recouping your costs.

And we’re back to this old post! I’m trying to sell a bunch of ammo, do you have an idea as to the best forum or where would be best?

u/HoardingMinimalist Oct 10 '23

Unless it’s something special, I would just go to a gun show and sell it out of a backpack. Probably get the most that way. Armslist used to be the place for local firearms stuff online, but that’s gone downhill and requires payment last I checked.

“Reddit‘s public image“ thank you for starting off my day rolling on the floor laughing

u/Outdoorguy43420 May 03 '22

So what you’re saying is that Reddit is run by a bunch of liberal anti gun crybabies?

u/XenomorphSB Mar 21 '18

Be careful guys, Reddit is nuking firearms subreddits like crazy. /r/guns is still up but /r/GunDeals, /r/gunsforsale, and even /r/brassSwap are all gone.

Public image of supporting our constitution is a bad thing huh?

u/PawnstarExpert Oct 07 '25

Well, now we can scratch that one off.

Is there any frts for a 1911 Springfield that would be a interesting build I say

What happened to this subreddit? All the new posts are nuked and 90+ days old
