Mike2002 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Someone mentioned buying guns from the USPSA classifed section. How do I get to this section if I am not a member? Thanks, Mike2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 You have to be a USPSA member to use the classified ad section. It is a privilege of being a member. And at $40/year for a membership, it is a great deal, considering all the cool stuff you get, including the magazine Front Sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 It comes free with your membership. Now's as good a time as any to join. Start getting classified and shooting matches next. And...you get a great magazine to boot. How can you lose??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 If you join on line at www.uspsa.org the system will issue you the members password as well as a temporary number you can use for posting your ads immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 It is certainly worth it to join. Is there a reason why you have not joined yet? Give it a try for a year; you might like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 One of the advantages of the USPSA classified system is you know a bit about who you are dealing with. All posts are from USPSA members, and posters need to use their PIN provided on the Frot Sight label to identify themselves. While this does not offer an absolute assurance of reliability, it enables you to know who you are dealing with, and that this person is a fellow member. Besides, if someone offers a really good deal, it should go to a member. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 That is a good point, Rob! I would never buy anything off that list unless the person was a USPSA member & I doubt that anyone listing stuff for sale there will sell to you if you are not a member. Another good reason to join; at least for a year. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I can't guarantee that each post is from a member, but I can assure you that each classified (except for some really, really old ones which bear a "not verified" notaiton) was made with a member number + pin code which gives you someone to track down. If you are buying something expensive, you can ask the seller what clubs and big matches they shoot at, and look up some results - that way you will know that they are an active member of the USPSA shooting community.

shootmove Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Fast forward to 2018 and the "classifieds" section says "coming soon." Anyone else seeing that? I am logged in as a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konkapot Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 When this thread started 13 years ago there was a Classifieds section; at the time it was a pretty good place. "Coming soon" on the new website has been coming soon for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
