Been a few days now.

Maybe gone for good this time?

Looks to be the same. They posted some comments about the Domain Name Server not doing the automatic renewals. May be true, may be an excuse for an "oopsie". Doesn't really matter. No matter what they do, yeah, talking about the "Captcha" bs, we'll still get "Is it available?" and "I'll send a check and a courier" or possibly a faked FFL. Just an annoyance, though, as I only do FTF there. The B/S/T here is the only place I'd do shipping, and that's for people with whom I've done business or who have been around a while.

Yep. I simply put in my ad that I won't respond to the 'is it available' and other nonsense. And I don't, simply ignore it.

Same. I normally will meet at one of the Sheriff's Office sub-stations. Safe spot to meet. And if they have an issue with meeting there it's an automatic red flag and I pass on meeting them.

Over the years I've had one no-show which isn't bad. Normally I meet some good people and have even chatted after the deal a few times.

Interesting. Do the Sheriff's sub-stations normally allow this for anyone or do you just know someone there? Is this something they generally do? Which Sheriff's office are you referring to?

I know some sub-stations have parking spots for trading online transactions.

Port Orange PD has trading spots with cameras.

Boynton Beach PD has a few trading spots with cameras at their station. Right off 95 and super easy in and out.
