If only you could get your first quality post.

I avoid the classifieds for a few reasons.
a. If it was truly a good deal, it's long gone before I get around to looking.
b. If it is something I really want, I then need to figure out what I have to sell to pay for it.
c. Once I figure out what I can sell, it's not worth selling because my stuff is always junk and not worth what I paid for it in the first place.

That's so common anymore it's sickening. There are several members that are far worse. What's the criteria for an unlicensed dealer again?

Member since 9-2009 - 59 posts, 825 classified posts - is a site supporter
Member since 4-2008 - 58 posts, 412 classified posts - is NOT a site supporter
Member since 5-2008 - 560 posts, 3635 classified posts - is a site supporter

Just a few of the highlights.

did you report the posts?? The mods will probably see that faster then looking at this thread.

The mods are aware of the classifieds squatters. Some even aren't happy about it, but they're just following the rules.

I for one am not happy about the squatters.
At least pony up for a supporter status......at least.

At what point is it considered running a business and one should have to get the blue nametag? There are people that live in the classifieds for years with hundreds and thousands of posts there and no where else.

At what point do they have to be a FFL? I've never looked it up, but you would think that someone would be watching people who sell lots of firearms whether it be on sites like this, Gunbroker, Facebook, etc. Maybe the government is watching as closely as some seem to think.

Most of those cats don't have much that I am after. I do look at the ads they put up and the prices.

If nothing else it ads to what active members have to choose from or base pricing off of.

On the FFL part, I have no idea. I was mainly thinking of the vendor status here. I know that's not cheap.

Averages out to $2 a day or there abouts.

No set standards for that I am aware of.

Maybe the mods and Fenway need to discuss the possibility of changing the levels of support for using the classifieds. Site supporter could be a level used for people selling at a level below what would be required for FFL licensing or what would be typical for an average gun owner. There are some members here who buy, sell and/or trade fairly often so maybe they could offer insight as to what they consider an acceptable number for the average gun owner.

Those using the classifieds to sell above the number required to have FFL licensing should maybe be required to move to vendor status to sell.

I'm sure some would get mad and leave, but is it really a loss if they are just using the site? There are sites set up for selling such as gunbroker, and I assume they sell here instead to avoid paying a fee/commission.

We used to have a hobbyist status. Not sure what happened with that. Lines might have been hard to set.

What you are asking would require 3 or 4 times the effort by the Mods to police. Tougher than you might think.
