I have been looking for some Hi-cap mags for my HK USP Full size 9mm and it seems that people just want to rake me over the coals because I live in NY. I bought one at a local gun shop for $60 as that was the only HK 9mm magazine they had. (I was actually looking for a 10 rounder at the time). I have had people either not want sell me them as I am from NY or outrageous prices like $120. How many others have experienced this?

There is a demand for something

There is a supply

Pre ban you have to pay the price and people know this.

I have a pre ban lower I paid 650 for. Sucks but thats the way it is.

I understand the supply and demand and also love the capitalistic society we live in.

He asked for an offer and thought a reasonable price would be the same amount a new one sells for. Impact Guns has them $40 new. If he sold his magazine for that price or slightly more he could get a NEW magazine and I would get an old one. Not a bad deal but not very money making either, I understand. But he balked at the offer and said not anything less then $120. He should not have replied asking to make an offer if he wanted 3x more then they sell for new.

It just irks me when people really try and take advantage of us in this situation instead of helping out.

put a "WTB" ad in the EE, believe it or not there are a few people around that won't ass-rape you too badly. I recently bought 2 complete lowers 1 for 325 and one for 300 yeah that's not great but it was better than some of the "I have a cast Essential Arms stripped for $650" you can always just laugh and say No Thanks. just my .02
