Braved Blizzard for Gun SHow

[BREATHER]

What a bunch of tough guy gunowners,,,, what I see on this pussy site is that if a person doesn't agree with the BIG BOYS he gets ostracised... No opinion but your own....

Go ahead and buy foreign, support the EU and what they are trying to do... Support China, so they can buy more of the USA, and put the USA further into debt... Go capitalism,,, with no integrity.... Sparks of TREASON....

I see also that most of the name calling if coming from the people that are vendors. Hurts don't it... I am real glad I do not have to do business with any of you. Not all but some of you can kiss my hairy white ass....

Wait. When did a thread about prices turn into trade and economic nationalism? I consider myself an economic nationalist but within our borders may free enterprise ring. If you can't pay don't whine.

Um i'm not a vendor, just a guy trying to keep his head afloat. IF i sell you item X for $300 and to replace it for $325 not only have i lost money, i also cannot replace item X for what i sold it for.

I was going to post something sarcastic but figured it would go down hill, so i didn't. You madea comment and it has been replied to. IF, KEY WORD IF you chose to "search" the forums, GOUGING" you would realize it's a touchy if often heated debate.
I'd be curious if you have more than 1 what would you sell it for. I'm bucks down and looking to buy something for less than what i see posted on line and in 98% of the ffl's i visit.

Regarding buying Ameican, Unless you drive an 80 or earlier Binder, you have a "foreign" / COMMIE parts cars. Don't care what the name plate says, YOU OWN A FOREIGN SOURCED VEHICLE.

HONDA, TOYOTA, AND a few other car mfg ARE MADE IN AMERICA, BY A NON-UNION SHOP, using some world sourced parts.

If you're interested i have i reliable info there's an opportunity to make some money on AMMO.

ANYONE ELSE SUSPICIOUS? NYNCO DISAPPEARS AND SOMEONE STEPS IN TO TAKE HIS PLACE?
THEN THEY DISAPPEAR AND ..............................NYNCO POPS UP LIKE A BAD CASE OF ACNE.

That is the great thing about supply and demand... the ball is ultimately in the consumer's court. You the consumer have ALL the choice. You can choose to pay higher than normal prices. You can choose not to give those (whom you think are gouging) a single dime. I pay attention to those who are raising their prices astronomically. I take note of the ones who aren't. When the dust settles... the ball will still be in MY court. I get to decide if I think a company has earned my business. I'll gravitate towards and reward those who didn't raise their prices as high. If the consumer didn't pay those high prices... those companies would have to lower their prices. But as long as there are those willing to pay those high(er) prices... there will be companies who will gladly take their money.

Blaming firearms retailers for high prices right now is like blaming pro-gun democrats for the outcome of the election. If you want to point the finger at someone... maybe you should point the finger at those who are actually responsible (those who continue to pay the higher prices).

While i am not surprised at some of the "selling" prices, i am surprised how fast said items sell. I have things that will eventually be up for sale when i do i will post at prices that reflect the Current Market Value.
Once again i see "issue" with prices yet see some of the same people have no issue posting their items for the CMV too.
Today's prices are nothing compared to what the market will be as we get closer to July 1st. Those of use who remember 1999 and the "panic" can tell you as dec approached a USED AR15 reached the $2-3K mark easy in CA. Expect to see similar pricing when may-june rolls around here, if not more.
There is no Gouging, what you see is what the market dictates. Don't like it , don't buy it.

Is harder to find, but there are good deals out there if you're willing to look. Picked up a half case of Ranger SXT +p for my .45 a few weeks ago at .50 a round.

For the record Buds guns seems to be getting a lot of inventory back in stock and their prices are coming down. I'd imagine in a couple of months well see everything settle back down to pre panic pricing.

The most frustrating part about this whole thing is the fact that panic prices started hammering items that were not in jeopardy of being banned or restricted. I was recently looking for a Taurus 4" .357 and the only ones I could find we're listed for high end S&W prices. I was also looking for a TRP operator and the only ones I could find new we're going for $2K.

I believe people have every right to ask whatever they want for their stuff. I also believe I have every right to not pay said price and wait for the market to correct itself which is exactly what I am doing. I just hope it happens at a hurried pace or I am going to lose patience and invest my 1911 and .357 money into one of my other hobbies.

Jeezus Buffy, the word gouging has been around alot longer than your reference. AS I SAID, I just didn't buy anything but the stuff I WANTED for THE PRICE I WANTED TO PAY... good lord... And ANYONE can sell WANT they WANT for the PRICE they WANT.. DOesn't mean I am going to panic buy.... The peices that I want are still at the price I will pay for them.....I will not buy from people that are making panic profit now.....

I see now, no wonder you complaining,,, I tend to buy American as much as I can... And you??????
