http://www.sturmgewehr.com/webBBS/semi4sale.cgi?read=132303 I know that this is a honest dealer. |
|
I have been wanting one of those rifles for such a long time. Years. Even before a civie version was a dream. Now it is here, and I am #1 on my fun stores list, so I guess that means I could get it on Friday. And yet, $2500 is probably a deal stopper.
|
Only if dealer price is $1400 or $1500. How much of it is absurd overpricing by the dealers and how much of it is absurd overpricing by FN? |
Dealer cost is $1700. Hmmmm............ I love my local funshop and will gladly pay $1900-$2000. I hope they treat me fair, I average about $4-500/month there. I have always thought 10% is fair? |
A fair price is any price someone is willing to pay. Supply and demand. |

I just saw on GUNSAMERICA that Harris Sporting goods (314) 574-8400 has them for $2500.00 I called him, he has one left. I preordered mine through Impact Guns back in December for $1749.00. I called Impact to verify what the price might be. They said $1749.00 was the price that I would be paying. Their website list them at 21-someting now I think. I hope that this is true, I will get it at the preorder price and not the mark-up hyp. But impact said they still haven't received theirs yet. |
[rant] And you'd still be left with a couple of boring GAY-R-15's, that every one and there mother has 3 of, some of us actually like GUNS and want to have DIFFERENT ones, not just an AK a GlocKBoom and the ubiquitous ar-15, Some of us actually have JOB's too and will spend $2500.00 on a gun and not even give a shit, but I guess there will always be some hater that can't afford one running his mouth. [/rant] |
You're living up to your screen name dude. |
I kinda agree with him. Why should I buy two more ARs instead of this? How can anybody hate the fact somebody else wants to buy one? A 19" TV does everything a 50" does too, and its smaller and cheaper. So whats the point? |
|
I don't understand why people feel it necessary to demean a product just because it is expensive. If you don't want to pay the premium for something new and exotic, simply don't pay it, someone else will. I don't knock Les Baer or Wilson even though I think they are overpriced, they make a good product. I won't pay $2400 for an FS2000, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to have one. |
|
I'd consider buying a FS2000 for about $1500-$1600, the cost of the F2000 to the special folks. $2400-$2500 is $1000 markup. I refuse to give anyone that kind of charity. The PS90s can be had for about $1400-$1500, just about the same price as the actual P90 so it isn't impossible, it's just a matter of waiting. |
While true, but the AR-15s would accomplish the same thing as the FS2000 for a lot less money with more capability. I can afford a FS2000 and I already have a PS90 which many people find to be "ugly and pointless", the same can be said of the 5.7x28 cartridge. After handling the PS90 for over 5 months, I sincerely feel the PS90 isn't worth nearly as much as the current asking prices. They're relying on the plastic as a shell deflector, and they're relying on a thin strip of cheap cast aluminum to prevent the barrel from flying out. I hope the FS2000 was made of better quality materials, because for $2000 it better damn well be sturdier than an AR-15. And again, I am all for weird/ugly/unique weapons.

I counted no less than 6 dealers selling FS2000's on Sturm, ranging in price from $2250 to $2500. I think these will drop in price faster than the PS90 did, PS90's were under $1450 this past gunshow. I want an FS2000 bad but I'll wait until they drop way below $2K. |
I also sell at 5% above on all my items, That is only true for some of the items at Knesekguns. but he is a good guy. |
Dude, thanks for not taking my rant to seriously, It was nothing personal towards you, and you make valid points, my addiction to this hobbies is irrational, shit if I could I’d buy a French Chauchat I would. |
