Armslist now charges $6.99/month just to message sellers. The BGC Exchange is free to list, free to message, free forever.
We're growing — over 100,000 visitors a month and climbing. This is your window to plant your flag before the market is crowded. Early sellers get maximum visibility, zero competition, and first-mover advantage with an audience that's already here looking for exactly what you're selling.
01 // PAYWALL
What was once the go-to free gun classifieds site now charges $6.99/month just to contact a seller.
Armslist locked messaging behind a monthly subscription. You can browse, but you can't buy without paying.
Anonymous listings with no account verification made Armslist notorious for scams and no-shows.
The same Craigslist-era design since 2007. No mobile app, no modern search, no saved filters.
