Newbie - FLARE

[Flare]

Just joining the forum, figured I’d say hello. I’m Dylan, currently based in Fort Myers, and I’ve spent the past while building something for the local shooting and FFL community.

It’s called FLARE (Florida Arms Exchange), a Florida-only classifieds site for firearms, parts, accessories, and related services. Think of it as a dedicated alternative to general classifieds sites, built specifically for FL gun owners and dealers, with FFL-friendly features and Florida-only traffic. It’s at floridaarmexchange.com if anyone wants to check it out.

Still pretty new and I’m actively improving it based on feedback, so if you poke around and have thoughts, good or bad, I’d genuinely love to hear them. Looking forward to being part of the community here.

Welcome Dylan. Good to see someone building something focused on a specific state and community like that. A Florida-only setup could make it easier to keep listings relevant and local.

Thank you! The website is definitely in its earliest stages (and currently only has a couple of my own listings) please let me know of any sort of feedback!

Awesome! Feel free to go through the claim patch flow if you’d like your free founders patch - I have too many of these

Again welcome to FLSporting, @Flare but please keep in mind, what you're going is spamming the site. We are a community first, and also offering the listing of firearms for FL locals.

My apologies Alan, I wasn’t aware I was spamming the site with replying to comments on a thread I started just introducing myself and the site. I’ve also sent you a direct message addressing advertising through your allocated areas on flsporting as well. Not looking to overstep or step on toes. Happy to discuss.
