Braved Blizzard for Gun SHow

[BigDee]

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.

For the record, who are you calling a whiney ass liberal,???? The stuff I need to buy is stll at "my" pricethat I am willing to pay. Magpul gave deals to Coloradoans, then guys at the show were charging 3-4 times what magpul was selling them for...I just didn't buy any... and won't in the future, my right as a consumer.

You are whining.. If you have a choice not to buy, then it wouldn't be gouging, would it. I think most of us are tired of the whining posts that pop up so often, that's it all.

While I am pretty certain it was clear who he was calling a whiney ass liberal I will go out of my way to clarify who he was refering to.


You. You are a whiney ass liberal. And let me go one step further and tell you why.

You use a word, "gouging", in a sentence that does not involve saying what a stupid made up word that is. You see, whiney ass liberals made that word up to help them feel better about dictating what someone else's property is worth. Whiney ass liberals want to set limits on the prices people set on the things they own. Just like you. If I want to sell my Magpul mags for 75 dollars and someone is willing to buy them for that price more power to me and the guy who buys it. It is NOT YOUR BUSINESS what I sell my goods for.

Let me use an example from my own shop. I had a customer ask me how much for an oil change for his car. I told him it was just under 100 bucks. He told me that he could get a full synthetic oil change at Grease Monkey for 60 bucks. I informed him that it was totally up to him and wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit. But they wouldn't be using the correct oil. Was I price gouging? No, because that is a made up word. I set my price for my goods and service at a place I was comfortable doing the job at and he was not forced to buy it if he didn't want to. He had a choice to buy from me at a higher price or from the lowest bidder.

WHO ARE YOU TO DICTATE WHAT SOMEONE SELLS THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY FOR?

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??????

I think he was talking to "you".... I'll 2nd his motion...

The idea of price gouging began as part of the anti-trust movement. That was the beginning of the progressive (read also liberal) movement. The idea was that goverment should step in and stop people from making more money than was seemly.

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.
