Is it me or the prices ARE going down?

[Dr_Fwd]

well, at least I see a lot of stuff "in stock". and I also liked the last gunshow (lots of AR parts and such)
I hope it's a good sign...

maybe all the panic buyers ran out of money, if people stop buying prices will fall.

I had read where the "middle man" was jacking up the prices based on demand. The manufacturers were getting the bad rap on price increases. They were only increasing prices based on their raw material increases. This was printed in a magazine article I read. You have to decide how factual the article is.
So I guess as a small supply of parts are becoming available the price to us the consumer is starting to drop. Let's hope it continues!!

Ahem, it's not newly found wealth. The wealth distribution is actually working. yay!

I've noticed more available in guns, magazines and accesories so it seem the buying is
starting to level off.

However, ammo and reloading components-especcially primers still seem to be in very high
demand and seem to be staying very high in price as well.

This is exactly what I suspect is happening. I know it to be true in primers at least!

Either that, or more people are selling toys to eat and pay rent.

A friend of mine who worked at a local gun store indicated that their prices have only risen between $15 - $25 per firearm since early last fall. Ammunition prices are all over the place - some maunfacturers/suppliers havent raise their prices while others have almost doubled their prices.
