    Default Am i lowballing stuff?

    i'm amazed at the prices some sellers are asking for their firearms, complete, kits etc. and how fast they are SOLD !!
    While i say more power to em, i gots to know.
    I post the same item for $50.00 less. their item sells i don't even get a pm?? do you feel a lowball (read: fair) price gives the impression there's something wrong with it?
    or should i jump on the bandwagon and start selling my shit really high.
    Inquiring minds want to know
    stripped lowers in the $2-300 range and people are lined up posting "if buyer # so&so falls through i'll take it!"

    it's all freaking insane if you ask me!

    People selling milled AKs for $1,400 that a year ago were $800!!

    And people asking $115-125 for lower parts kits!!!

    insane........

    I say sell it for what its worth and not try to rip folks off... like others...

    I'm gonna sit all this panic out and see where we stand in 6 months. There's no way all this panic buying is going to keep up indefinitely, and the CC bills are gonna start to come in for the buyers.

    As much as it pains me to say it, more power to the sellers. If they can get $230 for a RAA lower and have buyers lined up, well go for it. Heck, after seeing several people interested in items at these prices, you might as well ask for more.

    There's a sucker for every seat.

    Jim you should do what your Conscience tells you to do. Personally I do not believe in gouging and selling a stripped lower for over 250 bucks is friggin gouging period. Stand up businesses are not selling these for these prices. Del-Ton has stripped lowers for 105.00 Yes there is a wait but only because of the demand. http://www.del-ton.com/AR_15_Lower_Receivers_s/5.htm

    I actually bought my upper barrel kit from them last year and it took 5 days to get to me and is very nice especially for 395 bucks.

    People can say demand causes prices to go up all they want...thats total bullshit if your an honest seller. Unless supply is totally out of whack with demand then sell it for whats it is ACTUALLY worth. Just my honest opinion, not like it matters much
