[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is Florida gun trader down?

Posted: 1/8/2020 6:11:57 PM EDT

Tried jumping on floridaguntrader.com today, and it doesn’t appear to be working. Is anybody else having problems?

Same for me, just tried and was no joy.

Same. I get a message saying the server IP has moved.

[#3]

Same here.

Yea, says the IP address has changed or something. I guess I'll miss the same 40 guns listed for more than retail until they get it back up and running.

Very true. I was able to land a like new Romeo 1 that was missing the battery cap for $60. I replace the $10 part and it runs like a champ on my P320 xcarry. You just have to wade through all the bull crap to find the deals.

Agreed.

If I was looking for a Glock or a Hunting Rifle. Florida Gun Trader was the place to look.

Any idea when this will be back up? Talk about high prices, go to Armslist. Any other Florida gun sale groups besides those two?

I've snagged some good deals of FL Gun Trader. Mostly folks wanting to sell Grandpa's revolvers.

Me too.
Glad I'm in north Fl so I don't have to compete with you on FGT

Although I have seen tons of great deals in central and south Fl listed over the years.

I've sold a couple things and found some nice things there. It does seem though as always, some folks are selling things high, almost or over new prices. When I was in Va, same thing I guess folks shop at we won't be oversold.com and attempt to recoup funds.

I haven'y attempted to sign in for about a week as last time, a warning came up that the site may be compromised? I noticed m4carbine is suffering from a similar fate.

People might post higher prices, but they'll settle for less. You lose nothing by lowballing and seeing if they accept.

Of course, I actually think that's why they do that, knowing you will offer less and "meet in the middle"

First rule of selling buying. Always price your item higher than what your lowest offer you'd accept. When buying, always offer a low ball and work your way to possibly the highest you're willing to pay.

I always laugh when you see someone come in a gun shop to sell a gun. They ask how much do you have in it and what do you want out of it? Answer-Doesn't matter and 1 mil

When I was a gun store counter monkey, I never asked what they have in a gun. I simply asked what they wanted, then flipped out my various price guides and would additionally show them wholesale for a new gun (if it was a current production model) and then explain that we have to make a profit so my offer will not be as high as they want. But it was a fair offer. 9 out of 10 times, they'd take the offer. Especially when it was store credit being applied to something I already had on the shelf.
