    Perplexed

    Okay so....

    Let me just say I just picked up a SA XD9sc for 450 with 50 rends down the tube and plenty of extras....

    I keep seeing plenty of people trying to take advantage of the SSE paranoia and listing their XD for 700+ with nothing.

    As Gun advocates and people who really want to promote legal gun ownership and protect our 2nd Amendment rights is this the kind of tone we want to set? Price Gouging? Really? I'm almost embarrassed. CalGuns, please do something about this.

    Iam all about free commerce but, this is a movement, not a free-for-all.

    Signed,

    Several of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Are you their mommy? What do you care, what someone else sells their gun for?

    XD's are on the roster, if someone is that stupid to pay that much for one. They deserved to be gouged...

        And it isn't SSE "paranoia" - SSE is over, that is a fact not a rumor. And we just lost a circuit court ruling today that upheld the roster. It took 5.5 years for the case to get this ruling. Will likely take another 5yrs to try and overturn it. Prices are going up, not down.

          I've been looking for an XD various models and the non rosters but if the price ain't right I just move on. If people want to over pay, let 'em. It's their money.

          What really bugs me is that it's not separated by region. Some put location in the title, some don't. I hate the pecking.

                  There is no SSE paranoia, SSE is unf over. Who are you to judge what price someone else sells their property for?

                    Since off roster handguns are now only available via PPT(unless your exempt) folks can ask what they want. Unlike ammo flipping I dont consider this gouging. Its a good thing these folks are even offering their off-roster guns at any price, as opposed to not being available at all.

                      Its funny though, nobody has an issue when members try to take advantage of other members, but if a retailer were to do the same, it's on like donkey kong.

                          This is the new thread for the week with the same issue?

                          If you purchased SSE guns in December, you might've spent 3-4 trips to a store and wait in lines. (I had to take 3: 1 trip to order, another to start DROS, another to pickup) Time is money and if someone is willing to pay what you think your time was worth, that's a win-win for everyone.

                            OP, if you don't like the price don't buy it. It's that simple.
