is it my imagination that guns and ammo is higher on the west side? i follow sgt, waguns,nw guns, and hunt-wa every day and some used things are more than brand new. i question about the high price and only get in trouble. thanks, mike w

I don't doubt that prices are higher on the west side.
But honestly, if you don't like someones price you can either not buy the item or you can PM them with a different offer, or questions.
The rules are pretty clear about speculating negatively on the value of someone else's offering...... And that makes sense to me.

I think generally speaking you could say that there are more people and more money available on the west side. Those two factors in themselves would tend to drive prices higher. There are obvious exceptions but that's how capitalism works. A consumer's job is to decide whether something is worth that value or not. Price, features, value, location, ease of purchase, are all factors that you have to weigh when making a buy decision. Even the seller's willingness to sell can be a factor. If the seller has a need for a quick sale, that may drive the price down. EVERY price is negotiable.
If you live on the west side and find a gun $50 cheaper on the east side, you have to decide if it's worth the drive to save $50. At some price differential it WILL be worth the drive and that will force the decision.
