No panic here.
Local stores have AR's, pocket pistols, powder, primers and .22lr all on the shelved.

I'm not married to the one I have. If another panic ensues and I can realize a 100% profit in selling it, away it goes.

Stores are still full of them here. Most people who wanted one, have two or three already.

I had been meaning to buy one for a while, and the political winds are what made me finally pull the trigger, otherwise I would have waited another year with this baby on the way.

SWH racks were picked through. Good deals on Colt 6920's online if you are looking.
Good Shooting!

Why don't you sit on them a while longer so you can scalp someone a bit closer to the skull bone. My LGS has at least 20 of them at minimum.

Local Fleet-Farm stores appear to be ditching their AR holdings. Wonder if they know something we don't, or if the corporate look on 'black rifles' has changed. 50% off ARs - complete guns, complete lowers and complete uppers - starting tomorrow (6/24/16).
Side note, Mom's B-day is tomorrow. Wonder if she'd like an AR? LOL
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Lots of everything available. AR's are dirt cheap and out of favor. I bought an Anderson lower for $35 recently. Plenty of powder, brass and primers. .22 ammo is plentiful, though not at pre O prices.

Side note, Mom's B-day is tomorrow. Wonder if she'd like an AR? LOL I was also in Fleet Farm today in West Bend. They had 3 ad's and some Russian wood thing. A month ago there were a lot more of them and half the handguns are gone too now. No 22lr neither.

Reference the thread title change...
After Newtown AR prices and everything associated with them skyrocketed. Then the bottom fell out and for quite a while ARs have been dirt cheap. There are no scalpers and victims now, only people with sense and people that are lazy.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

Hold on to them. Really no upside to selling now, unless you need the money.

No different than investing in stocks....are you a scalper to buy low and sell high in the stocks or just in guns? Lots of folks invest in firearms for retirement.

If I was a scalper, I sure am a bad one. I don't think I ever made any money on anything gun related. I always lose money

Seems to the campfire folk that scalping only occurs when big oil is involved.  miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
