    I would have to disagree with the comment about misleading prices. When I look at a item to try to find the value I look at the SOLD price and if there are 10 items that all sell at 100.00 then that is the going rate+ shipping. Because if a Apple is selling at a gun show for 10.00 and they are selling on ebay for 5.00 and you are not in need to that Apple, (not want, need) and you can wait for it to ship, then it is cheaper any way you look at it... now if you are comparing 2 items.. I will not get into it, it's hurting my head. None the less if a item sells for whatever and it is cheaper some where else then that retailer pisses me off, there are no facts here, its all about if the seller is a Jerk or if he does not inflates prices.

    I was a sportcard collector for years so I know about self absorbed; axis II personality disorder assholes, and I told them how I felt too.
    I not trying to fix it, I just wish they would not make me inflated offers, and everyone else would stop buying there shit so they would get the picture.

    Then you have to consider that at gunshows the people there are usually a business or an extreme reseller, and do not make money buying at actual cost. It seems they will always offer 50-60% of the actual value.

    As for their prices being high our hobby (next to comic geeks, and enviro hippies) probably has the highest per capita of self absorbed, axis II personality disorder assholes amongst all hobbies.

    I love some of these rants! This is my take as a seller and buyer on ebay and on gunbroker. Who gives a shit what anyone is selling something for? Do your homework and buy the least expensive item you can find that is quality. If you are selling, again, do your damn homework and sell your item for what it can sell for. If you can't get the money you want out of an item, wait till you can or bite the bullet on the price you can sell it for now. If you want to buy something for more than what other people are selling it for, tell me and I will buy one of the other guys and gladly sell it to you. If you bought a gun from Cabela's lets say, a $500 M&P .45 and a couple hours later a guy notices your new shiny gun at the range and offers you $650 for it, would you take it? Damn right you would. If you knew you could do that over and over again, would you do it? Damn right you would. Most sellers will try to get the most they can for their product. Go figue, most buyers will try to pay as little as possible for the product they want. I made a great living selling cars for sticker, as we always said, there is an ass for every seat.

    I don't really care one way or another, but sometimes an asking price confuses me.
