I just tried to login to Texas Gun Trader and it appears that they have gone under. I don't know how to contact them apart from the site and I'm wondering if they got booted like arfcom and didn't have a backup plan. Here is what you see when you try to go to their website:

Or something like that. I guess they didn't make enough from their paying sellers or they didn't manage the business well, or both.

Strange, I'm still getting the same result when I try to load it. I'll clear out my cookies & see if it loads.

yeah, must be something with your browser, it loads fine for me, i can log in and see my recent listings, search, etc.

I just tried another browser and same result even after clearing cache & cookies. Maybe it's my adblocker or some other extension.

Works fine for me.
Check that your DNS, firewall, settings are not blocking. Perhaps do an nslookup and see if it resolves.

Same here. Works the same as it always has for me and still shows being up.

Sometimes people forget. You can get 4 and 5 year web hosting setups, and you run the company but aren't a web nerd
it's easy to forget to renew certificates and such.

ETA: I tried using Brave. It specifically calls out their security certificate.
Anyone who isn't seeing the notice is either getting cached pages or does not have a very secure browser.

My security software came up about an hour or so ago and said there were hits on sites. I own two - parked - so I didn't worry much about it. Could or may not be related but I've never received that error before.

I tried it on both safari & the duckduckgo app on my phone and I get the same result, so I don't think that it has anything to do with my browser on my laptop.

Yep, down. Agreed, must not have paid their bills. Doesn't cost much to keep a domain name...

DNS issue.  It comes up with their IP 173.199.179.162 (sort of).

Weird things going on today.  Sent my wife a gif and it would not open… took her to the App Store.
Maybe the Chinese are up to something

I need to give a few buck to guntrader. Much better than gunbroker…

If you are using a browser other than internet explorer, try internet explorer.  Some sites aren't good at updating to be universal for all browsers.

Your DNS could be blacklisting the domain name playing fucky fucky games.

Use 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3 and 4.2.2.4 as your DNS servers.

Now we have confirmation that it's messed up if one of our Texas Aggies can't access it either. That's the best engineering school in Texas & one of the best in the country. (plus they beat Alabama occasionally!)

For me:

Your domain name registration has expired. To renew your domain name registration, either click on the above "Renew Your Domain Name Now" button or log directly into your control panel, click on "Start Services," select "Domain Management," then select "Domain Manager." Next, click on "Manage Domain Name" then check the box next to your domain name registration and select "Renew Now."

Take it easy. This happens all the time by smaller businesses.

It appears they must not of had their hosting account set to auto renew.  Which means the page you all are seeing was the parked page since bills were not paid.  They did pay it today but it can take up to. 3 days to propagate around the web.

Look at the renew date Texas gun trader whois registration

There’s been some DNS fuckery going on in the Comcast Houston network the last couple of days.   Maybe it’s an internet pothole.

Last time I went there was an ad for an offer to pay someone to pick up a gun from a gun store.


Not today Mr ATF man.
