Default Opinions regarding Guntrader.ca

Hi All,

I know their site is down right now.

What is your opinion of Guntrader.ca. Have you dealt on it or not? Good, bad?

Just looking for input before exploring some options there.

Thanks!

For me if there is no feedback system I'm not interested. Too many ways to get scammed.

True enough, although trader ratings aren't everything either. I like to see sellers that have been around for awhile, and better yet if someone else knows them personally so it need be you can find them....

You're right, they aren't everything. On line is always more sketchy than in person. Particularly if the site or poster is newer.

Do you have a link to the site?

Stay away from usedfirearms.ca its infested with scammers, everything you click on takes you to some scam advertising. I'm in the process of replacing my PAL after contacting one of its "members"

Replacing your pal? Because you gave him the number? Curious what you mean?

No, there is no link. The site is currently down as I mentioned at the beginning. Just wanting to know what people who may have used it thought about it, before it went down. Basically we need a good site in Canada as we don't really have a nation wide one like "Gunbroker" in the US. Which from what I've been able to determine is fairly well respected down there.

I know about usedfirearms.ca, definitely a stay away!!
