    Marketplace Monkeybusiness.

    When I look for the marketplace now, the absolute Insanity of prices that people are trying to get for their things is a constant source of humor for me. I especially loved all the brand new members with one or two posts coming in and trying to sell $3,000 ARS. It brings more entertainment than reruns of The Sopranos.

    Personally the constant whinygash is much more entertaining. For me at least.

      I see a lot of on roster pistols for $30-50 off MSRP and its years old and hundreds of rounds through it. Who is dumb enough to pay those prices? I understand you save the tax but that alone isn't enough savings to take over someone else's gun

        To be fair, some off roster pistols go for hundreds over MSRP. $50 bucks is nothing.

            To be fair, if you reread, he specified ON roster pistols.

              Yup, just like when people chat about the price of gas going up, or Bacon, or beef. Happens a lot, with many different "Marketplaces".

                I try to always give good deals, and people still lowball the hell out of me. Most people set high prices so they have room for negotiations against the cheap people

                    Well. That will teach me to read the post instead of drinking Tequila....

                      If you read the original posting before commenting, you would see I am not complaining about prices. Only pointing out the lunacy of the market and it's constant source of amusement to me. Geez.......

                          I don't have a problem with people listing their guns at inflated prices but whats gets me is their constant daily bumping over and over for months on end. If no bites after after few weeks they should maybe think about lowering the price. Just the other day I contacted one seller who had one of his guns listed for about $1200+ over regular price. I threw him a fair offer that I think was still decent and he got offended. Guy is still bumping ads as of today with no bites. Oh well.

                            I would happily pay MSRP + $100 for an RZ10.
