What about North Korea????

No free market, no guns for sale.

Don't buy it, pity the fool who does.

I kinda feel sorry for the poor sap that purchases that. That's more than I paid for my refurbished SIG 229 back in '08 when we were having this same problem. Just hold out a little while. The prices will come down again.

Man, if people are paying that kind of coin for a GLOCK I am selling all of mine and holding on to the profits until the rush is over and then I will buy new ones. Actually, the money isn't really worth the effort now that I think of it.

[DRAB_81]

Yeah, just like AR stripped lowers cost $450 & 1000rds of 223 costs $700. It's a panic market. If you dont want to pay the current rate, you'll have to wait for eveything to calm back down.

On a side note, Gunbroker isn't the best reference for gun prices. There's always someone dumb enough to drive the auction up way higher than any intelligent person is willing to pay.

There's always someone dumb enough

In this auction there are 4 or 5 who are actively bidding. Let them.

DVSmith, unless you are really busy this is the time to sell. I have would and will.

[AndRenner]

I should put my g27 up for this. Than buy a new one in a few months and make money lol

After giving it a few seconds of thought I came to the conclusion that I really hate dealing with the whole selling (answering all the vapid questions and then the negotiations), shipping, dealing with payment etc. Just isn't my cup of tea.

Or get a good brand. Just kidding.

If you have a collection with a few stray ends this is the time to sell them, is all I am saying.

Perhaps it was the same person with different accounts bidding on their own items and waiting for a dummy to bite.

Just my theory.

My thoughts exactly. I tried selling on ebay for a bit and it was nothing but a headache. Buyers SUCK...

That is harder to do than it sounds, but possible. Imo the Gunbroker gang is more adept at sniffing than out than average.

For instance the local yokels.
