Holcomb30347, as a matter of fact I do own my own business and been running one for near 30 years now. I compete in the auto parts business, ever compete with Chinese junk at bargain prices with lifetime warranties? Don't tell me I don't know what market value is or how to buy right. I deal with it everyday but what you asses don't take into account is repeat customers who value an honest deal and excellent service. Screw all you pricks thinking that you can survive by inflating a market with scare tactics and keeping the availability bought up so you can double your money.
Anyone who thinks its okay to buy the complete Walmart shipment of say 22 shells at regular retail prices only to resale at insane prices cause that is capitalism... GFY
I'm proud that my value is based on great service at a fair price rather than screwing my customers.
As a matter of fact I do know the auto parts business having owned a service station for all of those 46 years, I also sell guns and am a Realtor to boot. I do all these things so I can have some of the nicer things in life. You think I stayed in business all those years because I "screwed people" in a small town? The point of the matter is, I sell things to willing customers. They know up front how much I will sell my inventory for. Whether it be a house, a gun, or repairing their vehicle. I do this and everyone is happy to buy from me. I had people driving several hours to pick up firearms at my place because they WANTED to. I did not force them to buy these things. They also did not have to have these things. They wanted these firearms. It is no different than people going to gun shows. They willingly go to them and buy things because they want them. The only scare tactics here are the ones being introduced by our government. I have been the transfer FFL at several gun auctions this past couple months. The prices people will pay now for firearms is nuts. Is the auctioneer supposed to stand up there and say, this Ruger 10/22 sells for $200, someone please give me $150 because it's used and go on to the next item, or does he sell it to the highest bidder? CAPITALISM is what it is called and is how those big box stores got to be where they are. We do not need price controls. Socialists all over the world have proven time and again that they don't work.
