    $100 for some paper



    Would being old and from Benelli make these sheets of paper worth $100.00?

    You must be plain stupid to pay for this.

    Considering that you can download that manual here, I'd say they're fishing for suckers. They'll probably find one.
    I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!

        This is a prime example of price gouging

          My bet is that's a typographical error, and the seller meant to put $9.95 .

          Nobody is that irrational.

          If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

                  Anything with Benelli on it is sold for big bucks. Just the cheek pads or butt pads for the comfortech stock are $100-$150 each. I love my Benelli (Super Sport 12 ga), but for a common production gun they are not cheap.

                  That is crazy for a manual. Something seems real odd with that sale.

                        I was hoping it would be a link to $100 bills.

                          You may think you're serious, but you're seriously nuts. You can't "gouge" for a manual that isn't necessary, and apparently the market does consider the price to be reasonable and fair if that's what people are paying. There are also alternatives available even on gunbroker.



                          People claiming "gouger" just because something costs more than they want to pay, without even bothering to look elsewhere... ffs.

                            It all depends on why you would want it. Some guns that are new (unfired) could be "NIB" if the owner still had the shipping carton, owner manual & paperwork. It's a just "collector thing".

                              Sorry, I have misunderstood the meaning of "price gouging". But I was interested in the Benelli Supernova manual from 2006, as I do I know a friend with alow serial number for this shotgun.

                              Just pretend I used "over-priced" for "price-gouging".
