But but but......

They lowered the cost from original pricing !

No, No... they lowered from MSRP, because I'm sure that's what they really paid.

I really enjoy reading Trading post here.

So far, my favorites were.....

1. Feeler debate
2. ~$5000 SCAR16s few years back

With the blurry 2mp cell phone picture? That thread actually started the Trading post rule.

Sniper must be working... I see no mention of $500 lowers....

negative...was out slaying some yotes! (killing coyotes)

but now that you mention it, it is time for a $500 lower!

You mean like the ad saying
EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION except for where it fell and broke X, finish worn from holster wear and approx 5K fired, faded night sights AND some minor surface rust But overall G-VG condition.

2 trains of thought
1)IF it isn't LNIB don't jerk me off saying it is and the gun looks like it's been in the back of a truck the last 5 years.

2) There is a seat for every ass. You will to pay the asking or agreed upon price,not matter how much above MSRP, Who cares?

We all know that guns that get thrown down the driveway and keep working are of "operator" status! probably doubles their value!

If people can get the price, good for them. that just means there was someone stupid enough to buy it. that's my take

Armslist is even worse, People just dont research what things are going for and then get irritated at "lowball" offers

[onebadfx4]

Everyone complains about armslist frequently but I have gotten some pretty good deals on there and with the exception of a few jackasses, have met some pretty good dudes. Have walked away from a few deals from jackwagons but have a pretty positive experiance. Nothing wrong with trying to make a buck but dont try to sell me a 600 M&P shield cause they are "hard to get." All boils down to people are willing to pay for what they want.

My favorite was the $1700 AK on armslist that had some super sweet/ awesome UTG rails and OMG IT WAS JUST SO AWESOME I PEED MY PANTS WHEN I SAW IT.

Really I did. I may or may not have bought it.

I laugh at $600 Glocks and promptly move on.

it's because of the devaluation of the dollar.... your $600 buys $400 worth of stuff from 4 years ago
