Flagged Armslisting

[michaelnc4444]

I contacted someone on Armslist about some ammo they have for sale. It is a fairly reasonable deal and the person texted me back and we set up a meet time. Since then I have gotten a series of emails from Amslist saying this ad was marked as spam. I realize other users have reported this in order for that to happen, but I just wondered if anyone has had experience with this, or if there is a way to find our what, exactly, was flagged. Being that we are planning to meet in person, I have little concern about the ammo, since I will be able to check it out myself. Still though, it makes me wonder what would cause this person's ad to be flagged. Thanks.

Heard people were flagging stuff with normal prices in order to help drive up the prices.

This sounds like what might have happened. Either way, thanks for the feedback folks. Like I said, I will be meeting in person, so I expect to check it out before buying.

Do you need someone to go with you?

Thank you for the offer, I have a buddy coming with already.

What was the ad for? I'm betting it is competitors who flagged it or someone pissed at gouging. Could go either way.

Meeting in person you really can't lose unless you drive really far. Not much to be gained in a FTF transaction by not being legit.

Being flagged on Armslist really means nothing other than somebody did not like your ad. I had one of my ads flagged and i never knew why.
