    I think the prepared guys here, like myself, can just sit back and enjoy the drama. Nothing would compel me to sell anything because of the money. Now, certainly is not the time to buy. I am sitting fine and will just watch shit get crazy with a smile on my face. I just saw an ar for 5000. hahahaha hahahahaah.....

    I like your thinking. Save our pennies and we'll do our own rifle buyback.

    I remember the last mad rush. I picked up some "non threatening" guns that people were selling CHEAP. then when everyone settled down the dump started and the Arsenal AKs were around 400 bucks. And lots of other stuff got real cheap. Magazines were half price. Similar to when the AWB sun-setted. I think tmleadr03 and roberth have it figured out.. In six months stuff may be cheap.

    I don't believe any price is gouging. If you don't like the price, don't buy. Price "gouging" only works in an environment of extremely short supply and high demand -- the alternative without "gouging" is NO supply and even higher demand.

    Once again. Some who complain are the same who pm, call or text other members asking what they have and how much. Hipocracy or staying off radar?

    Price gouging is a viable accusation. Crying about it isn't. Buy it or don't buy it.

    Short term profit based on the current fears of purchasers in the market is also viable. Just keep in mind, the gun market is a long term prospect for many businesses and customers remember. I know of at least two major companies that will never see a penny of my money ever again. I know a few private sellers that won't either. Everyone has the right to weigh and measure the impact of the now vs the future for themselves.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    Once again. Price gouging does not exist. It is a made up phrase by people who want to decide for me what I should sell my goods and services for. If you don't like the price DONT BUY IT. Find a price you like. If someone wants to buy it they will. If the item is listed higher then the market will stand then it won't sell and the seller will either not make a sale or will drop the price till they do make a sale.
