If it's dead then someone forgot to tell all the people that are still using it.
Yes it may have been more before they started charging to use it but there are still lots of people using it.
I still use it, it's not like it expensive/6.99 a month or 300 a year.
If 6.99 is going to break you or cause you hardship I understand, but not everything in life is free.
I support OSA to, don't have to but I do.
If you don't that's your option, Options, we all have options. Pick yours.

I still use it from time to time. But the Facebook gun groups are alive and well. There’s about 5 or 6 active ones I’m apart of. Now prices are another thing… some people are delusional on there.

Speaking of scammers, if you feel like hunting them (anytime), there's an illiterate foreign f__K on GunBroker about 5 times a day. Look at feedback, and usually it's a 10+ year old profile that has never sold a thing and hasn't been active for over 5 years. Always has the same guns listed: some combination (usually 6) of any of the following: a Heckler & Koch SP5, a Heckler & Koch SP5k, a Heckler & Koch P7, a Heckler & Koch SP89, a Marlin 1895SBL, a Marlin 1895, a Marlin 336 Dark, a Henry All Weather, a Henry Big Boy, an M1 Garand, a Deagle, a Ruger Super Blackhawk, a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan, a Micro Draco, an FN SCAR, a Sig Sauer MCX Virtus, a Sig Sauer MCX Virtus TACOPS, a Sig Sauer MCX Rattler, a Smith & Wesson 686, a Winchester 94, a Remington 700 BDL, a Franchi SPAS-12, a Benneli M4. Always 'New Old Stock' (even an M1 from 1943), and always at about 1/2 value. Buy It Now listings, usually, with the opening bid the same price as the 'Buy It Now' price. Also is fond of listing two very expensive guns, like a Barrett and an FN SCAR, with language in the item description that says "I will end this listing early and sell for $XXXX to a serious bidder." If you see any of this, buy the gun and immediately smoke his feedback. It will save people from getting scammed. I have already reported him in most cases, and he will be whacked in a few hours. Not sure? Look at completed listings. I have busted this POS about 60+ times with the exact same listings, day after day. You'll see the exact same listings splattered all over the place in completed listings, with a different hijacked scammer profile name on each one. Parasite. I don't work for GB, but I am all about denying these criminals the opportunity to mug people for their hard-earned money. Oh, and will always blow up your phone immediately after you 'win' the item, begging you for paypal, zelle, etc. - payment types you are NEVER going to get back once you send it. Happy hunting! It's open season on foreign scammers.

Greed killed it.

Surprised another sight hasn't emerged.
I enjoyed and Armslist along, before the greed pay started.

Other sights out there, but GunBroke seems to be the only one with much traffic. Their fees are ridiculous and prices worse. I don't know why they are so busy.
There's a new social media site for gun owners I heard about from Langley Outdoors Academy on YT. It's called Arms Directory. They allow firearms sales but I fond something that is concerning for me. From their FAQ:

Firearm Sales​

All firearm sales must be facilitated through an FFL. Even if your state does not require an FFL to be involved, we as a platform require it. Buy/Sell/Trade group owners, or owners of other groups that allow firearm postings are responsible for making sure their members are aware of this rule.
I don't even know if most Oklahoma FFLs would bother with doing that.

Anyway, use at your own discretion.
