I find it hilarious as I’m browsing through the EE and looking at posts where people are still price gouging. It’s like “no bro, nobody is going to pay $1000 more for your kac upper or $700 for your case of 9mm or $2300 for your arsenal.” It warms my heart knowing those dirt bags are still trying to sell said item after months, and I wasn’t stupid enough to do that like some people out there. Have fun with your $10k in product you can’t sell anymore lol.

I wouldn't really call them dirt bags, but yes I think $300 for a SOLGW stripped lower is insane. People are still buying them though.
|
|
Well depending on the Arsenal… They got pretty high before the pandemic/election shenanigans
|
|
Pretty sure it's frowned upon here to call members dirtbags...
|
|
Well, depending on what 9mm it is it could be worth 1100 bucks, sooooo

I sold a bunch of my fort for reasonable prices, I’m not going to live long enough to shoot it all.
Or will I? Either way, I made some cash and hooked people up when there was nothing to be had. I’ve lived these cycles before. |

Prices have really come down in the last month. EE listings will be all over the place for the next few months. I just ignore listings that are priced too high. I'm not sure why you made a thread to brag how morally superior you are. It's a bad look for you.

You should go to the local gun shows/auctions.
I was at an estate auction a month ago and a RRA complete AR went for $2300. Most of the gun people I know are waiting on the storm to ride out. The people new to it are the ones paying the crazy prices. |

Don’t like it, don’t buy it.
Maybe they don’t need the money and don’t have to take a 50% bath so their meth dealer doesn’t break their kneecaps tomorrow at 4. |

A while ago I bought five sequentially serial numbered stripped lowers. They sat in my safe for I don’t know how long. During the latest panic I got motivated to buy a couple more parts and build two rifles out of spare parts. I still have three lowers left. I also never stopped shooting during the panic. I don’t know how many rounds I have left, but it’s many thousands in my five primary chamberings. I guess I should say six because I have at least 12,000 rounds of 22 Long rifle. I didn’t sell anything though. I did buy a case of 223 ammo on the equipment exchange at an inflated but not outrageous price, but that was The closest I came to eating and abetting the price gougers.

Lol. No such thing. Doesnt exist. Items are worth exactly what people are willing to pay. No more. No less. |

The only dirtbags I know are the ones begging me for my shit.
While they took wild expensive and exotic vacations, bought lake houses, boats, jet skis, etc. I bought guns and ammo. |

There are still people sitting on silver they paid $50 per ounce for, because they thought they could fuck the next guy in the chain.
Ha, ha, asshole. |

If customers refused to pay over MSRP all those PS5s would have sold for a loss on ebay. |

I don't really care.
But I did step in a Fudd gunshop that still had a boxes of 9mm blazer for $45. Local sporting goods store is already back down to $15 a box on those. |

I just saw someone selling a gtx 3090 graphics card in the EE for $2500.

Nobody is forcing your to buy something there, so calling them dirt bags is a reflection on you.

Well hell, I guess I wont try to list a NIB Norinco underfolder for 2,500 bucks

Companies use such methods all the time. I recall a presentation at DEFCON where a guy explained how he made a bot to buy cheap used cars before other companies could from some supplier with their bots and there was a bot war over these used cars. |

Weak rant. Some sucker is willing to pay ridiculous prices for a product they desire. |
