I never shot a Hi-point, any good?

Back to reality...
Yes, Hi-Points work. They seem to be very reliable, but a bit on the crude side. They make a good example to keep in a comparative collection.

My mistake was selling about 5 9mm pistols in February at the then going rate. 500-600 dollars each. Oh well....

If you’re going to mark up prices you can expect people to complain. The demand is high so expect the market to price high. Soros can afford today’s marketplace, be careful who you sell to these days.

How about a new thread all about the stuff you once were able to buy? Followed by another one with how cheap things used to be? Maybe it can be made into a sticky?

[Lucky Scott]

I like old Mosins and SKS rifles. Every single thread about them has at least one guy that can't help himself from posting "I used to buy them back in the 1970's for $50.00 bucks"
Drives me nuts. Lets see, what else has gone up since the 70's? Homes, cars, I can go on and on.

I paid $250 for 1k rounds a couple of years ago. You all saw this coming.

You snooze, you loose.

Shoulda coulda woulda.... however this is reality we live in.

Reload you're own. Then you can pack away 20,000 rounds and not care about the price.

[QED]

Reloading components are in short supply too, especially primers. I bought several thousand primers (CCI pistol, BR2 and BR4) ahead of the pandemic, so I'm in good shape. Oddly enough, while in-demand powders are hard to find, they periodically become available, so you you need to buy them immediately when they are briefly in stock. I've purchased XBR 8208, H4350, and Varget during the pandemic for more or less normal prices, though when buying 1 lb jugs of popular powders, there is commonly a limit of 2, so you get dinged on the hazmat fees.

It's hard to believe that you'd find anything but fair and reasonable pricing in this forum's marketplace.

I'm buying from reputable internet vendors like powder valley and midwayusa. No gouging per se, but fewer discounts for sure.

“8+ Months Ago I Could’ve Bought”...

...and did.



No complaints. Happy as a clam at a People-Bake.

And yet, I've still found awesome deals on guns and ammo these past 8 months (sure they are obscure, obsolete, or esoteric items, but all were good deals none-the-less.)
