Off-roster profiteering?

[stormvet]

There are a lot of over priced guns here, no doubt some even laughable high. But it is their right to sell and ask whatever price they think their gun is worth, just as it is your right to laugh and move on to other listings.
No reason to be upset or make a post about it, just move on.

For god's sake...anyone can ask any price they want for what they are selling. Are you gonna belly ache if the person is selling for 200 under market price!!
Ignore, delete....pm them and tell 'em what what a rip off they are.

Geese, you guys are like kids!!!!!

WE are definitely C & R. I used to turn down 1911 s for 250-300 bucks all the time. o3a3s for 150.

Yes indeed, that's what forums are for. But we seem to get this same post every week. And the results are always the same, but it's your right to make the post.
Good to know, no one is upset.

I'll plead "newbie" on the repetitive post charge :-)

People should have bought prior to the handguns being off list. Like years ago.
Let the whiners go to Washington DC or NYC and buy handguns. I was buying when the recycler had 100 firearms every thursday for sale cash & carry.

I remember those days, which basically makes you and I antiques.

Yeah....good days in the San Fernando Valley. The recycler, green sheet (eventually quit advertising guns..) and deals done at the McDonalds parking lot....hehe. Browsing at B&B Sales, the Reloading Bench in Panorama City (?) a young Jim Hoag and tricking out my Colt Combat Commander. The only gun worth carrying...

Oh, how times have changed my friends....

Only thing worse than an overpriced gun. Is an outlandish low ball offer.

Since we are talking about rights, i have a right to belly ache about whatever the heck i want to. If i want to ignore it i will, if i don't i wont. I have the right to speak my mind just like you have to right to say you don't like it. Do i give a sheet you don't like people complaining about gougers? not a bit.

Some of us have purchased pre ban firearms to make money, some to leave to kids, some because firearms don't get pissed off and break catchup bottles over our heads. For whatever reason if someone does something there is alway a swinging dik that does not approve. That is life at least we can post about it without some gun thug from the stasi/ fsb/ kgb/gestapo coming to arrest us. Worst on here Kes will ban you or the other mods. Or fp will invite you to his basement.

not to be super critical, but he said "Geese" not "Geez" or "Jeez". "Geese", the plural of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goose

Wow you guys still remember the old good days.....

reloading bench with the mad scientist Jim Boland. Ross rod and gun, Adams gun shop canoga park, Brass Rail, Alamo Guns on Victory near the cop shop with Mike Gibbons. National Guns parthenia and reseda. Hutton Rifle Ranch shooting range off Topanga Canyon halfway to beach at junction with old topanga and topanga canyon. WE used to go into Ross and get red dot powder and lyutic one piece wads in bulk. Bulk for the red dot was he poured it into a brown lunch bag from a 20 pound keg for 3 bucks a pound. We bought reclaimed shot from Aqua Sierra gun club at the end of devonshire owned by Roy Rogers for 5 bucks for 25 pounds. We loaded for $1.25 for 25 rounds in paper hulls. Best years of my life I think.

Price isn't unreasonable. Seller often paid msrp last year. Add SSE fee, tax, DROS, seller aren't making much.

When you buy a ppt. You are saving SSE and sales tax. Keep that in mind.

But why buy a used one at full price for when u can buy a new one for the same price?(on roster pistols)

First off let me start by saying,

Guess not long enough to see all the post to buy asap or pay more later .
