Panic Buying Gone Crazy

[compulsivegunbuyer]

Obviously I'm trolling a little here But in all seriousness, if people went out and supported their rights like they panic buy, there would be no reason to panic buy. New gun owner buys a gun, can't find ammo, gives up.

For the first time since the panic started, I looked at gunbroker.

Holy crap

I panicked and bought my LWRC, almost maxed out my credit card lol... Oh well

AK-74 is better than both lol. But I'd say get the AR-15 over the AR-10. Just because.

Really.. can AK-74 do Sub MOA? with the Piston ARs like the LWRC.. it takes everything advantage to the AK away..plus AK 74 mags are extremely hard to find even before all if this...

If someone claims a Yugo is better than a Ferrari, why even bother debate about it?

Good God, please don't turn this into another AK VS. AR debate.

Man, all this panic buying/selling is making me want to put my my lower forsale..

I have 3 stripped lowers from PSA, with consecutive serial numbers. I should sell all three as a set. Wonder how much I could do for a set.

was not to happy at turners in Pasadena, a customer was there to pick up a FNAR I notice that the stock had some minor damage, the customer brought it to there attention but they did not give the customer a discount, Manager from tuners said that all he can do is give him his money back and he will put the rifle back on the shelf. Manager said we have tons of customers that will buy a FNAR 308 simi auto. Kinda sucks this customer bought two rifle spent about $2,100 at least take off 50 bucks right????

AK-74 mag

Really.. can AK-74 do Sub MOA? with the Piston ARs like the LWRC.. it takes everything advantage to the AK away..plus AK 74 mags are extremely hard to find even before all if this...

I have an AK-74 10 round TAPCO mag. Any takers? I saw a ton of them at the gun show. I accidentally bought mine thinking it was an AK-47 mag. I asked the little kid behind the giant mag table for a 10 round AK-47 mag, he handed me an AK-74 mag in a bag. I didn't know it was the wrong mag until I got home and the gun show was gone for two more months!

Took a quick view of the insanity this morning, people are even buying Vulcans and WASR's....
Vulcan V15 plastic lower, $365: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=320421879
Standard DPMS stripped lower, $616: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=322565988
WASR-10, $1625: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=323544149
WASR-10, $1425: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=322935444

I hate to think that first time buyers are buying Vulcan and Century crap without researching it first...

WASR 10's selling for $1,625.00. Don't people have any financial common sense? Most likely the same guy who was complaining he "couldn't afford one" last month.

Fire up that credit card.

[Creeping Incrementalism]

please tell me again how supply and demand inflates prices...

because there's more stripped lowers and rebuilds on calguns marketplace right now than i've ever seen.

Dude, did you fail econ? See graph below and notice how both price and quantity sold increase with supply remaining constant. Panic buying is an increase in demand, which means the demand "curve" (or a line when simplified) shifts to the right.
