    Default At what point do you........

    At what point do you QUIT feeling guilty over other people's panicking? I mean... Can you feel sorry for someone who is FINE with paying PANIC prices?

    The stores don't don't seem to have any problems with it... So WHY should we?!?

    Buyer's market?

    Simple law of economics?

    There was a gentlemen from this board who bought an AR-15 upper from me before the "shat hit the fan" for a damn good price. Do I regret selling it to him at that price? No.

    I see it this way: most of the people on this board are good, honest, hard working folks who treat you the same way they wished to be treated.

    From what I have seen, the big stores are still keeping their prices within reason, even though most items are back-ordered. Small guys out to make a buck- not so much.

    That's my $.02.

    ^^^ I agree... Simple Supply and Demand.... I've got what you want and so you'll have to pay what I'm asking to get what I have!!!!

    Doesn't this law apply to the dating and, in some, cases marriage?!?

    If a member here is willing to pay your outrageous price, far be it form me to call you a price gouger.
    I would have to berate the people willing to pay 3X factory MSRP on a used Frankengun.
    Prices will go back down if everyone refused to pay these prices.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    People want to pay crazy prices, then make that crazy money. Win, win in my book.

    That's the price of being unprepared and trying to catch up.
    sucks for them, I know I took the rights steps and the panic has not effected me. Yes, I could have should have might have but I'm not sweating it.

    Same, paid regular price for my rifle at LibertyUSA. Shop around enough for ammo, and the prices aren't that bad, yet...

    I never started feeling guilty, so I can't really stop. I'm pretty sure that would be like dividing by zero.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    No guilt here. I can't wait til these people try to sell their $2000 AR15s in a year and find out it is only worth about $700.
