My guess is that one generalized classified site is enough - and enough specialized sites do exist. For example, we at Wessel Gun Shop have used GunsAmerica - Connecting Gun Buyers to Gun Sellers Since 1997 for years; during that period, it was a classified site for those who had guns for sale.

Nother poster's reference to "one auction site" was amusing for two reasons: EBay denies access to those who wish to sell guns, gun parts, etc. - anything a gun needs to make it work. What did the gun market do? Created GunBroker.com Online Gun Auction and AuctionArms.com - Online Gun Auction, that's what. Like GunsAmerica, these two auction sites started out serving those who wanted to sell (or buy!) guns, gun parts, gun accessories, etc. Eventually, anything gunny started showing up, from gun dogs to hunting properties!

Craigslist will endure as long as it serves its market; every arbitrary limit it places on posting will constrict its appeal that much more. Let them take heed.
