aandabooks Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 How many of you use Facebook for buying guns or gear?. Here in IL there are a few sites left for guns.. Several good sites got taken down a few months back. For competitive shooting I only know of the USPSA Gear Yard Sale site.. Anybody go there or have others to share?

TonytheTiger Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hell no. I only go on FB for match announcements and only because I have no other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I do. We have a couple private groups for the region. I have sold and bought stuff with the same success rate as here at Enos. Most pre-match communication is on FB anyhow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge40 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I won't even go on facebook for match announcements. I rely on my buddies to tell me about matches I wont hear about any other way. The facebook hate is strong with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 I never used Facebook until a very good local to IL gun site went down for financial issues. I have an account now with the bare minimum info that I can open an account with. I don't have anyone friended because I want the minimum exposure possible.

If I had any buddies I might be able to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glock021 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I buy gear from time to time from a couple of the FB groups. I have also bought a gun but it was back before the FB ban on gun selling groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge40 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hahahaha fudds. If thats what you want to call us. It's unfortunate that the world has become so reliant on one thing for everything social. Its a bit sad to me that you can actually lose touch with someone just because you choose not to use facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglou13 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Not at all since the ban!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Some of the gun sites are still around.. They've just gone secret. Prices and details are done through PM. The USPSA Gear Trading Post site is closed but they don't allow gun sales at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
