    Today's "spot price" for those that actually HAVE any PMags with windows is around $45 just about everywhere, and you can usually add shipping to that. The ad you dislike was for nine USGI mags (not seven) and that would average out to a little over $10 per mag for them.

    You don't like?

    Don't buy.

    But please do, get real.

    SkyTech .. yeah my bad, off by two mags, you're math is incorrect (closer to $19ea not accounting for the PMag actual price differential) and what does it matter if you wait a few weeks for a back order? Don't buy the sellers over priced wears you say? You needn't worry yourself, I won't. Much more to the point, I will actively discourage where appropriate (e.g. not in the sellers post) others from feeding in to such outlandish and blatant price gouging!

    As for my comments about our resident conspiracy pontificating mouth piece needing to exit the country; well, I stand by the assertion and have no issue saying to his face as well as the rest of the tin foil hat conspiracy crowd. Many of whom have chosen this community from which to be the pulpit for their baseless rhetoric worthy of both the far left and far right of our admittedly polarized political system. Further more, not only do I in the strongest possible sense encourage them to leave this great country, but at the very least I would recommend that they return to BARFCOM where the majority of their weak minded brethren haunt, but then again (there is almost always a kink in a sound premise) at least one of them has been banned there at least twice. Just how much of a twit do you have to be to get banned from that site?

    They fuel the condemnation we who are of sounder mind must suffer. So if you are willing to tolerate their sewage, I imagine, my spewing an unfiltered opinion shouldn't be too much of an affront to your sensibilities. If it is, well the next time your out my way, I'll buy you a couple of beers and we can hash it out then.

    I'm a caustic bastard, what else would most of you who know me expect after all of these years?

    Hey Badshot, I can see that you're an OK guy. I guess your "VooDoo" curse ("doom on all of you") prompted my last to you. I'm not much of a bomb-thrower myself, but sometimes I can't resist tossing a few firecrackers to set things straight . . .

    You HAVE to account for the PMags. They're a part of the overall deal (and price). When you take away thier $90 from the $200 asking price, you're left with $110.

    Dealing with my "incorrect" math and the remainder, I get the other 9 mags for $110. That's closer to my "little over $10 per mag" than your $19 per mag.

    Gougers are selling at $45 and panic buyers are buying at that price. I picked up 15 NEW black PMags with windows for $15 each today. With tax call it $235.

    Personally I don't have a problem with sellers setting prices that are high. If there is a buyer at that price then great, it is capitalism at work. The sellers like MGT who aren't raising prices just to raise prices are gaining a lot of good will and good word of mouth advertising.

    I've seen several ads in the for-sale section that I thought were crazy high, but I won't post in them going after the seller.

    You should be congratulated on your good fortune - but it's the EXCEPTION for buying PMags from those with any immediate inventory today. As for pricing and availability; the past is a known, but the future is not.

    Not being a dealer, if i happen into PMags (or anything else) in a trade deal and don't want to keep them, I won't be pricing them so you can get a good deal. I'll price them according to what I have into them.

    Simple reality.
