Whats the difference between ads and listings?
A. Sometimes the two words are interchangeable so it can be confusing. On GunsAmerica when we refer to “listings” we’re referring to Traditional Classified Ads, Offers Only (a.k.a. Best Accepted Offers) Ads, and Auctions. These are usually posted by gun dealers, collectors, and/or other private citizens and non-commercial traders and sellers. With listings, all of the information about the listing, and the means to contact the seller, is found on and done through the GunsAmerica website. While ads, or advertisements, are commercial ads (text links like the kind you might see in the right margin when you do a Google search). When you click on these links they may take you to a GA listing for that advertiser OR to a website outside of GunsAmerica. GunsAmerica allows commercial ads we feel will be of interest to our members.
