Current inflated prices

[The Gleam]

It makes sense, and I agree but i see some people asking 6500-8000. If I sold someone a stock sar for that Id feel like I sold Billy the blind kid Petey.

No; You would feel like someone without a SCAR.

To get a replacement before 12/21/2016, you'd likely have to spend $6,500 - $8,000. That' going to skew toward $8,000 inevitably for anyone selling as 12/21 gets closer.

I find it hilarious when dudes post up rifles that are plenty for the picking at a $800+ markup. They swear that no one has ever heard of going featureless or buying a maglock, bullet button, etc and for less than $100, you can have the same exact rifle they tried to rip you off with for $800+ less.


Educate yourselves people. Don't get ripped off by gougers.

Prices next year are going to be rock bottom.

In an open forum, there is no such thing as price gouging. Price gouging is when a locality forces an evacuation and along the 150 mile evacuation route, every gas station is selling gas at $10/gal. The buyer has literally no choice aside from walking. I believe the tow truck companies got fined or were forced to return $$ back to car owners when their cars were towed off of freeways that were shut down due to CA wildfires in the past year or two. They were charging up to a $1000 for a tow. No other options. That's price gouging.

Here, there is a marketplace of buyers and sellers. If I list my Scar17 for $8k and someone buys it, no gouging took place. Buyer wasn't forced to pay the money.

Don't buy now. Get it next year as featureless at your "rock bottom price". And then cry your tears when Newsom and new AG a) ban your featureless rifles and b) you aren't even given an opportunity to register them. "A" is certain to happen, "B" is likely IMO.

Here's a new one for $3800. Buyer supplies compliance parts.

If you look they're not hard to find delivered at that price. $4k+ for a SCAR is just stupidity.

I've got news for you. It's BEEN a buyers market for months and months and it's not even December.

Tavor at a local shop went from $1900 to $2500 I call that a seller's market

[ninjawho?]

Funny because gun enthusiasts are pricing themselves out of their hobby just to make a buck.it always fair game till the shoe is on the other foot.

Great post! I'm looking for a CZ Scorpion Carbine with a sticker of around $800 and I'm going to be in it for around $1500 because of a bullet button and stock pin......ridiculous.

Who wants a SCAR???? Too expensive.

Tell me about it I have a YYYUGE scar on my chest from two open heart surgeries and both were expensive.

You should ask Kestryl to change your username to "scarbiker" .

I agree with OP. I think the week before Dec 21 prices are going to plummet for both sellers and stores that need to get rid of ARs.

Won't happen. There's no real precedence of this. Sellers and stores didn't do this when SSE was ending. They can still sell ARs out of state when they can't sell them here. I would imagine many can even be exchanged with their distributors.

It will happen do to the massive margins. They can still make more marking them down 30% in California then trying to sell them out of state.
