What there's a parts shortage and it's an all out buying frenzy w/ no end in sight......prices are going through the roof.....

Thought it was just bunch of dealers....making everything up so that they can retire or somethin....like that....

Tis true there can be only ONE....:chris:

I did give away a NOVESKE N4 CMT cut LOWER.....but than some dude on gunbroker popped over 700 for one.....so it all balances out.....yeng/yang thing......

[AlliedArmory]

let these people make their money. it will all go back down eventually....well maybe

[aplinker]

It cracks me up...

everyone is indignant when they're buyers, but "capitalist pigs" when they're the seller.

Capitalism works because people set the price. If things didn't sell, then the "capitalist pigs" couldn't make any money.

If you don't like the price... it's pretty simple...

Don't buy it.

I have no issue with people wanting to make money. Let them do what they want. There will be someone to come along and undercut if the price is too high. That's how it works.

[dfletcher]

I must have about $400.00 in my junk drawer ......

[emc002]

Actually, nobody (except the seller with tonge firmly planted in cheek) got indignant in this thread. Shocking, really, but there you have it.
It's called "desensitization" BTW... ;)

(You did catch that the OP is the seller on GB, right?)

JUFR!

yes, of course... I was speaking in general.

Just checking. But it is worthy of note nobody jumped on the hating bandwagon... YET!

[tenpercentfirearms]

I just found a Stag LPK stashed in my shop. Maybe I should follow suit. If people are this stupid, I might as well be the one to take their money.

[ar15barrels]

The auction started at $99.
The BIDDERS are the ones willing to push it all the way up to $183. ;)

[Vinz]

i wouldn't go as far as calling them stupid. If you need something bad enough you'd be will be willing to pay the price. Now if he could have gone down the street for one cheaper than I'd agree with the stupid idea.

If by undercut you mean buy it then sell it for more, you're absolutely right.

[Fantasma]

HOLY SHI* and someone bought it for 215 WOW! i should have bought 4 and made a killer profit!

[technique]

I have 5 'extra LPK's......wow.

[RedDawn]

I have 5 'extra LPK's......wow.

Hold out for another month.
I'm sure many people have them on their Christmas want list.;)

[Solidsnake87]

lol. Wow. You know, you can still order them factory direct at their old prices. Sure, there will be a wait. Beats paying a rediculous price though.

If you are going to panic buy, do the lowers and magazines.

Even if a ban did get passed, unless they also banned the manufacture of parts, we would still be able to build guns for a long time.

With the AR platform, we have no limit to how many tops we can have for each gun.

Unless it is pre-ban/post-ban like 1994 and then you can pretty much expect Stag LPKs to go for $500 as everything is sucked out of the market. If it isn't built on ban date, then it isn't pre-ban and now it is a really expensive paperweight.

That is why everyone should just relax and spend their money on NRA memberships and donations to the ILA. Yeah right, they are too busy panic buying lowers that they have no parts for.

Yes, that's true, but then there's something called the freedom of speech and if people want to voice their opinions on the stupidity of people who buy and sell LPKs for close to $200, then that is their right also. Maybe it will help lower prices, maybe it won't, but everyone is entitled to a voice.
