    Default What to do... One in the family!?

    So just got word that my Gen3 PMAGs arrived today... then had a heated argument with my little brother about the situation... He ordered his mags, then stated he just ordered some more and intends to sell them online for double... "If I sell 5 they'll pay for the entire 10 I just bought." I called him out on it, even said it's a douchey thing to do. He fails to realize that price gouging is a very bad thing- Magpul even stated that they don't approve of inflating the price, and if he had any shred of human decency he'd see that this is the reason shit is so fucked up right now. I have no time for these asshats taking advantage of the panic and gouging and inflating their prices "just because people will pay them." He even got pissed that I used concert tickets as an analogy (buy 10 tickets at $50 ea, then turn around and sell them for $90 ea- it happens all the time). He said "this is different." Then gets all pissed off at me and when I call him a fuckwad for even proposing such a dick move. How do you dissuade this behavior? I can't get through to the boy.

    Not sure if trolling.... Or serious.

    Regardless the popcorn is going into the mic.

    I had a friend say something similar, he was saying he was thinking about ordering some and selling them at a profit since he never plans on buying an AR. I convinced him that the market wasn't there for $40 pmags now that anyone can get them for MSRP, and that seemed to convince him to drop it.

    Your brother is free to do as he please no matter the moral right or wrong. Its a free country and people are free to be jerks by other peoples definition. How ever you could point out that the pending mag ban would make it illegal to sell his mags so it might not be the money making opportunity that he hopes. I pray that Hick will veto this crap.

    his mags, his choice. However i am sure we will see them pop up here sooner or later. Myself I purchased 15 of them for a reason, resale is not one of them.

    Has your dad told you two to knock it off or he is going to pull the car over?

    Pmags aren't selling for what they were a few months ago. I say you encourage him to buy the mags and watch him pull out his hair trying to make a killing on them.
