How to place a Want ad

We will list your want ad without charge provided the information is supplied in the format desired below. The listing information can be sent either online, by e-mail, or snail mail. When you buy, you agree to pay a finder's fee with a minimium of $10, or 4% of the sale if the item is for $300 or more. This is an honor system, so if it isn't kept, only you will know. If you have no plans on paying for your listing, please do not submit it. It costs to keep the site active, plus the time it takes to maintain the ads. If you plan on buying the gun at a local gun show, or some other way, please do not waste our time placing the ads for you, which then must be removed when it is no longer active.

The preferred method of listing is to complete the form below (scroll down if you have a small window). At the end of the form, there is a SEND button that will send us the information entered. The information entered will be displayed after you click on the send button. If you have made a mistake, please re-enter the data again and resend it. (Please click on the type of gun you are buying.) If you do not provide a valid means of contacting you, we will NOT place the ad. This means you MUST provide either a full telephone number and/or a valid email address.

The data received is edited for consistency, and any minor cleanup that is needed(and for duplicates). The site is then updated, usually every 1 or 2 days, depending on which day of the week it is.Please check in a couple of days to be sure that we have you item listed as you desire.

The listing information is for communication and billing. The mother's maiden name is used to validate your identity before we cancel your ad.

We will ONLY list your first name and phone number in the Internet listing. The listing information will not be released to anyone, for any reason, without your written permission, or if mandated by a court of law.

In the internet listing, the ads will be arranged by category/manufacturer, and then model within manufacturer. The misc section is for additional comments.

If you omit needed listing information, the quality of the ad may suffer. We like to use common abbreviations as most gun enthusiasts do.

For prepaid listings received by 6 pm Central time, our goal is to have the information available to the world before 8 am Central time the next day. We recommend you check the listing after it is placed online to insure its correctness.

If you call and there is no answer, you may leave the listing on the answering machine. Needless to say, the preferred method of listing is by e-mail -- containing the data shown above.


When you find the gun, we will remove the ad when you request. Contact us at:

gunsinfo@gunsforsale.com        or          Knives and More
                                            PO Box 1835
                                            Friendswood, Texas 77546
