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.

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.

No, you can't call a SPECIFIC member a dirtbag.

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.

.25 cents a round? I'll take all you have at that price. $.25 per 100 rounds is a hell of a deal! That's a buck and a quarter per 500 round brick.

Have you seen what happened to the PS5?

Buyers were using bots to scoop up entire inventories before other customers even had a chance at one, then flipped them for obscene prices.

That's exactly price gouging.

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.

Then PlayStation mispriced their product, or failed to produce enough. Likely both.

No it's not. If customers refused to pay over MSRP all those PS5s would have sold for a loss on ebay.

This, I sold a bunch of excess a year ago, at about 75% of the market price.  The buyers didnt cry about it, and neither did I, the market determines the price.  Those that cry about it were simply behind the curve.

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.

They are using a means to obtain the product that otherwise wouldn't allow them to get that much inventory bought up.

Were you prevented from using such methods?

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.
