bruno22rf Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 With all the bad press that Guntrader have been getting over the new layout (awful) and the data breach a while back, just thought I would mention that I put an Air Rifle on the site Saturday evening and it sold within the hour - funds were in my account 24 hours later and had a phone call from the buyer Sunday to discuss delivery etc, really pleasant gentleman. So don't believe all the rubbish that some shooting forums spout (thankfully not PW) about advertising your items with them because Guntrader is full of scammers and criminals. Oh, cost me just over £1 to place the Ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 What did you sell? There's probably always scammers to watch out for everywhere on every site, but that's certainly a quick sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my BSF B55 Mice, always wanted one, scratched the itch over a year ago - decided to let somebody else do the same as I had no use for it. Getting rare now, mine was mint and the only BSF for sale on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then their **** security led to me getting hundreds of scam e mails and texts. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. I wonder how your buyer found the rifle, he must have chanced upon it.

Then their **** security led to me getting hundreds of scam e mails and texts. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. A common opinion Weihrauch17, but my experiences have been the complete opposite and I've used them for years, I have little doubt that I would feel the same as you had I suffered your fate - but I haven't. I have never met anybody but the nicest of buyers via the site (OMG - sounds like they are sponsoring me - they most certainly are not) so I can only give my opinion.Pretty sure I have sold/bought 20+ Guns via this site and only had one bad gun - seller refunded me straight away.

Mr.C Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Fair play for voicing your experiences contrary to popular opinions. Personally I don't use the site because I don't want to jump through their data hoops to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger, by modern standards, is borderline awful and they kick like the proverbial Mule - other than that they are great 😀. Saying all that though, if a 70 came up I would go for it but really want a FWB Sport next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
