Is the frenzy over?

Could the manufacturing defect really make a $5-600 difference or are people starting to calm down?

2. Higher end rifle buyers tend to be pickier.

Maybe it's not calming down, this is just a normal person who isn't trying to put his kids through college with the frenzy prices... [Dunno]

[sneakerd]

Things are calming down a bit. Pmags are settling down to the $30 to $40 range. The highest priced guns are not selling, as people see that they don't have to spend that much. I'm pretty sure the guy who paid over 7G for the Scar 17s 2 weeks ago is mighty pissed off.

[Pancho Villa]

I hope the guys who dropped serious bank on the ARs/SCARs weren't borrowing to do that.

[cfortune]

We should load armslist and gunbroker up with fake ads showing items for sale at the old prices. Just borrow the e-mail address of someone you don't like. Get enough of those out there and crap will calm down.

But then how would people on this board justify a $700 used Glock?

Naw man, that's like going outside firingline or 5280 armory and passing out discounted price leaflets of non existence guns. Just down right evil! [ROFL1]

[flan7211]

Deals are still to be had. I just picked up a near new XDM .40 for $400. Better than the $700 I saw them going for at gun shows.

[sneakerd]

That was a killer deal- as they're going new over $600. Your biggest prob may be finding new mags. Try Firing Line- they have NOT raised prices at all on the high-cap pistol mags.

[mahabali]

Seems to be dying down... That is unless there is new legislation, then it will be back on. Unless people are out of money.

[sneakerd]

When/if legislation is introduced, it will be Panic 2.0.

I thought so too! How much are mags for it there dude? Thanks!

Also IMHO I believe some of our financial troubles will extend the panic as people are looking for solid investments.

How are you on the wholesale side? They are still backlogged for weeks as being said by many retailers?

[GlockDog47]

Lets hope for the best.....[panic]

So they're just as overpriced there as they always were? [Coffee]



(Sorry. Just busting your chops a bit. )

[sneakerd]

This is my Sunday- back to work tomorrow. I -believe- that the XDM mags were going for $41.95. No bargain, but that's the same price we were selling them for when the gun was introduced. We just started being able to order some things again this last Monday. We are slowly getting re-stocked on the handguns, but they go very quickly after being put out. People are really focused on the hi-caps, like the Glocks, Springfields and Smiths. No anticipation or estimation on ARs or AKs, or any other "assault" type rifle.

[sneakerd]

I thought it was pretty funny that there was a forum member in the wanted section who posted that he wanted Glock 26 mags and was willing to pay $60. On the shelf at FL for $31.95.
When Scar17 mags were on the internet for $60-$70, we had them on the shelf for $40.95. We were selling new Brownells 30-rnd aluminum AR mags until they sold out last weekend- for $24.95.

beretta 92 9mm mags work, with slight modification.

[Zundfolge]

On a side note, I understand that now is a good time to buy wheelguns.

[birddog]

I do think the frenzy is dying out. At least until the end of the month.

[Brass]

Panic 2.0 - new and improved, will start on 1/09, when Colorado's legislature is back in session.

WHAT! I have some g26 mags ill sell for $60!

[Trigger]

I really hope its starting to calm down a bit...I still need to buy powder, bullets, primers, a new lower and upper and a few extra mags.....ugh

[twitchyfinger]

SHOT Show is only 11 days away from today oh my! This will be interesting to say the least!

Is what could have been still better than what will never be at all? Nah I just think most will use it as a vacation from their next few months of filling back orders.

[facepalm]

[AK47 Ranger]

The only reason its calmed down is because there is nothing left!!

Ive always wanted a Model 94 Lever gun, think Ill pick one up! Betting that the only ammo left of wally marts shelves is 30/30 lol.

[Dave]

Nah, not over yet. I'm still seeing 2-3 times MSRP for AR and AK rifles on Bud's auctions and gun broker.

[Irving]

Fixed it for you.

I got to agree, the frenzy is far from over there is just nothing left in the shops. Perhaps on Armslist people are having some difficulty with moving things at what they are asking for. But on Gunbroker many AR15s, AR10s, M1as are going for some crazy amounts. Sellers who plan thier auctions well are doing well. This crap is just the start once the State and Federal legislators start talking it will be far worse. Get it while you can.

[sneakerd]

You make an excellent point. Winning big on a listing is ALL about timing. Of course timing is all about luck! Sometimes you get the bear- sometimes the bear gets you.

I'm still waiting for my PMags to turn into big, black, bars of gold...

Frenzy isn't over if your looking for 9mm Glock anything though... [Bang]

[sneakerd]

You just don't know where to look.....

This... but prices are kinda high unless you can secure LEO pricing.

My buddy at work got a Colt 6920 for just under $1,100 yesterday.

[sneakerd]

Wrong. You just have to where they aren't gouging. Firing Line in Aurora has not raised prices on Glocks or Glock mags one penny.

[ben4372]

I put a Magpul 30 rounder on Gunbroker. it sold for $7.15. Did I mention it it was new, still in the wrapper. Just shows you there are deals to be had. Lesson learned.

[sneakerd]

Timing, timing, timing. The bear got you this time.

Yep, was at arctic here in pueblo yesterday, they had a full case of gen3s for $499 and gen4s for $535 I picked up a g22 gen 4 just because. Now I just have to wait 2 weeks to get it.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

God created a search function... Not only is this a duplicate thread... You almost... ALMOST made the EXACT same title! Good job, new guy!

[mahabali]

Thats funny, the other thread is right below.

I too have been burned by no reserve auctions that I started at $.99

[JM Ver. 2.0]

I was leaning more towards "There are morons out there" and not "Good deals to had."

And you point is to say how bad you were taken, or ????????????

[sneakerd]

Those are the best prices for those guns that I have heard. Great score!!! If you're a good shopper- and patient- you'll find the deals. If you're an impatient fool, you'll get screwed.

[BigDee]

I was going to list my AR in the trading post for 5k. Did I miss the boat?

[10mm-man]

I had it coming. I've been on the good side of a deal, and on the bad side. I lost a few bucks. I look at this as a good sign. I have enough mags, A hand full of magpuls, I prefer Aluminum or Lancer so if I could sell them, fine. If I was gonna get 10 bucks I would have rather given it to a friend. and you missing an R.

[BuffCyclist]

and you missing an R.

and you'RE missing an RE... [LOL]

[ben4372]

why you so angry? we're all friends here?

[JM Ver. 2.0]

I'm not angry.

[ben4372]

Good to hear, just checking.

[Great-Kazoo]

I'm not angry.

The bald guy. He looks off balance with 1 arm inked. Crazy Kids. Guy can text you 60 x in 30 minutes but unable to dial a $%^& a phone.

[Great-Kazoo]

don't you have a price gouging, or NEW AWB, thread to add to. [JRope]

[Jefe's AR]

It's definitely settling down. If you are still on the fence about selling don't expect last weeks prices. You can likely get more than you paid but it's declining and you should sell sooner than later.

Glad I sold EVERYTHING I had at at least twice the price. It's odd being gun free.
