View Full Version : Integrity and setting an example

After watching what is going on at gun shops, sporting goods stores and other websites where firearms, accessories and ammunition are sold I am proud to say I am not seeing the behaviors here like I see there.


WE are a group of like minded people who have an enthusiasm for firearms, shooting and each other. It is obvious to me that nearly all of us are acting in accordance to the laws of integrity and honesty this forum was built upon. I have yet to see any peer to peer gouging, the prices today are essentially the same today as they were two weeks ago, and I am sure this is because of who and what we are individually and collectively.


WE are taking the high road and are setting the example for others to follow.


If anyone outside of this forum has anything to glean from our place let us make sure our values and integrity are what they take with them when they leave.


My goal for this post wasn't to make a list of all of the places who are behaving without integrity or honesty. We have plenty of time to make a list of those places acting without our values somewhere else.

My goal was to remind all of us that what we do here is a direct reflection of who and what we are.

Thank you

ebay has tons of pmags listed from gougers, but they cannot sell those 20-30 rounders on ebay. They are getting flagged left and right.
If they list it more than once, I think they get suspended account! haha

Oh, thank God you put that in... I was gonna say- Anything I ever sell on here, I'll be fair with the price... But if I ever find out someone outside of this site is one of those gougers, oooh buddy, He's gonna put my unborn children through college! [Coffee]

I saw $90 PMAGS $60 steel mags and 5.56 at 80 cents each in bulk at the place around the corner from 5280 Armory, I will not be shopping there ever in the future.

Tri-Lakes Shooter's Supply in Monument had Pmags priced at $60. I was really disappointed since I like that store. But, after talking to the guy that works there, I found out they were on consignment. I have no problem with that. Not saying that's what is happenning at other stores, but just be sure before you write them off.

"That Place Around The Corner" is OD Green Supply... I believe there's a thread (or two) about their shady practices...

Dan is good people. His prices run a little higher than I can get online or private party, but he has always been fair with me. I have put in offers on consignment items there before, and he has told the owner things like its a fair offer I'd take it.

Why would someone consign PMAGs?

I am not sure if that is the place or not. I know this place was to the south west of 5280. The name had something to do with Ammo or something. Never saw the place before that point.

That's a really good question. Probably be easier to just stand on the corner with a big sign.
