Amazing ,simply Amazing
« on: December 27, 2012, 09:35:57 AM »
I have been around to different gunshops and sporting good stores and most places
  Are out of 22 LR not to mention the 223 and most popular handgun rounds.

What really gets me is some people are already boosting the price of things
By a incredible amount on certain forums.

Insane.............. :bdid:

You've known this was coming for five years. Why did you ignore it and find yourself so frustrated now?

Take a look at Gunbroker.com, check out the prices on firearms. Especially the ones that are sure to be part of the upcoming ban. They are selling for double and triple what they were going for 10 days ago.

I mentioned time and time again to people to purchase one or several AR's , particularly the Sig M400 Enhanced. It was a smoking deal at $914.00 10 days ago. Now if you can find one, $1700.00 plus.

Talked to my buddy who is a gunsmith and gets dealer pricing.  Said he talked to DPMS the other day and said that they could have parts to him by Sept. 2013

I have a local gun dealer that did not jump on the price gouging bandwagon.
I respect that and will deal exclusively with them.
I have no respect for, nor will I buy from anyone on a forum or a dealer that takes advantage of the situation and screws people.
Especially on a forum that is supposed to be a community taking care of each other.

It confuses me somewhat to hear people complaining about inflated prices and "price gouging".  Isn't that what a capitalist society does?  When demand goes up, and supply is limited or decreased, the value of the item or service being sold goes up.  Personally, I don't have a problem with the "new" prices.  If I had an AR that I was willing to sell right now, I wouldn't put it out there at $900 because that's what it sold for two weeks ago.  I would get as much $$$ as I could for it.  That's what businesses do.  Sometimes a business takes a loss or only breaks even on a product, so I have no issues with them making more than the standard profit on an item.  Kudos to the shop owners who had the capital and foresight to have a few extra of these firearms around in case the opportunity arose to make a profit on them.  They took a risk, invested some money, and for once it turned into a gold mine for them.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

It is an investment risk to store up inventory. it is bad accounting and business practice. Doing so exposes one to risk. Anytime one takes a risk they should have a reward commensurate with that risk. People who waited took the risk that they would be around forever. They chose X asset or vacation in its place and now they have to compete with everyone else who did the same. $500 AKs and $800 ARs are gone and wont be back for a long time, if ever.

I understand this, and they should make some extra.
However, blatantly tripling and quadrupling prices overnight loses my business permanently.

Most people aren't going to buy at those prices if there are alternatives. They will sit on their $4000 AR while others sell them for $1,800. Then they will lower their price. Supply and demand work these things out. Gun merchants get enough heat from the antis. I don't want to heap any more hate on 'em unnecessarily.
