Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Got in a Facebok argument today

This douche is selling Bricks of .22 ammo for $55.00. I called him out and his "buyers" are defending him.

Am I the prick for saying something?

Capitalism has always supported all the other isms.

Hey jelly, I enjoyed that argument lurker style. Lol!

Hey, I got 10 loose 22lr in my pocket mixed with lint and 4 pennies.

Got a buck four?

Lol!

I'll give you $29 dollars for the lint. Might need to make a sweater someday...

Some People Don't Want To Be Saved From Their Self...Even Though They Need It.. Let'm Pay Stupid Prices.. They'll Find Out Sooner Or Later.

Never understood why someone could GAF how someone else spends their money.

Pretty much.

I'd like to offer you some sympathy, but I'm a little short.

WTF are you doing on Facebook in the first place.....

No, not if you are from a socialist state like Minnasoda.

FB is not for arguing its for getting pussy.

A free country one can ask what he wants to ask, it is up to the buyer if he wants to pay it or not. None of you buissnes either way.

I should clarify. I wasn't arguing with the seller. I was arguing with the people that were willing to pay such stupid prices.

All they are doing is supporting the hoarder mentality.

If somebody had some coins, or some stock, and for a variety of reasons the value of those coins or stock went up 500%...or even more...nobody would fault them for selling their stuff at those higher prices.

That...

What a buyer does with his money is his busisness and no one else's. If someone what's to " horde" as you call it, that is also their business and no one else's.

Exactly! Value is set by what people are willing to pay.

Rooster is right about this.

It's the demand, and prices other people are willing to pay that adds to the lack of reasonably priced .22lr.

When these idiots stop paying those prices, then shelves will start being stocked again.

As long as there is the wide profit margin in it, the underhanded scalpers will continue to dwindle the stock before it hits the shelves.

a free country one can ask what he wants to ask.

it's also a free country to comment on the gougers via social media if you wish.

Anyone out there feeling in need of some sympathy...
...it can be found between Sh-t and Syphilis in the dictionary!

nothing in the world wrong with saying your piece with regards to a FB post. They say theirs, you say yours.
I try to hit it once, and walk away clean though, and not go back and forth.

supply and demand is what capitalism is all about. If a man wants something bad enough then he will pay what it take's to get it. I don't like what is going on with rimfire ammo but I'm not arguing with fools over it

never understood why someone could GAF how someone else expresses themselves.

This^^^^

Yep. Trying to edumicate gullible buyers isn't necessarily a bad thing. Posting some links to better deals with available stock would be one way to do so. It seems that the availability is getting better. Hope some folks end up with stock that they bought high.

Facebook is a wonderful medium.
I originally joined it to keep track of the younger members of the herd, but there a number of association connected to it which allow us ol types to get back in contact with classmates etc.
We have a couple of local associations that are really good for ol pictures, people you haven't heard from years, a lot of shared memories.
Then there is the one site. Mostly comprised of young low information voters as i call them. What they post about is mostly stupid, or in a lot of cases just pandering, help me, help me. It turns out to be great entertainment, kind of like watching the walking dead.
Having said that what a seller charges and what an individual is willing to pay is between the two of them. You can say i was a horder, in that the .22lr thing didn't effect my supply at all. Many had the foresight to put away enough to last into the next lifetime, others did not. I had many chances to make quite a bit of money selling, if i had wanted to, which was not the purpose of acquiring, to make an eventual buck. I wanted availability. The supply is still there. What I get a charge out of is someone telling someone else what to do, or how to think, NOT.
This is true of other things too. Like right now, firearms for various reasons are a glut on the market. You can get a pretty good A.R. for about 600bucks. How many that didn't have them are buying them?
but as to facebook, anyone can post what they want to, but you can block or delete their posts. I really do think back in the third grade some got selected to be hall monitor and never got over it.

That's what I'm saying. Thank you

Douchebags will always come to the aid of and defend other douchebags. It's like they are Masons. Ya know a secret society.


When the houndsman's bugle blows, so does the rally for all douchebags to stand up lockstep.

I didn't get into an argument, BUT....I did call my sister a F'n cunnt. Been holding it inside since my dad died 40 years ago...

lol

Sometimes chit just needs to be said!

Selling at a higher than purchase price is wrong how? If you don't want the merchandise at the price point, then move on.
Same with houes people often sell for more than they paid.

...I guess Facebook does have some usefulness.

Now THAT is funny! LMAO

That's my MO too Sam. I do the same to some of the newbies that buy something on Camofire or somewhere on sale and the try to sell it here. I'll poke 'em once as an attempt to keep them honest. I don't have the time it inclination to argue with them. Bigger fish to fry!

You should not be posting on other forums. Only the Fire. Didn't you read the rules??

Ain't no dikheads on the fire. Well maybe 1!!

I think the proper term is "social networking". "Getting pussy" isn't politically correct enough any more for the democrats.

Wow , that's a grudge. You should not hold that kind of information in that long ,you could blow a gasket, besides if the person knows your opinion they could make efforts to correct the situation.

I don't get why anyone does FB to start wtih...

But the argument could be on fleabay or carls list or any of that other crap too...

computer - $500
internet svc - $75/mo
dropping the C word on your sister on social media - priceless.

i want to party with you sir.

laffin'

Ditto.

So if a fella has a bunch of 22lr ammo he wants to part ways with, for argument sake we'll say Remington Thunderbolts, just how much should he ask for said ammo to avoid the wrath of the internet do-gooders attempting to save the ignorant from themselves?

Raffle them? (Heck, I just give to friends who got caught short by surprise.)



Or you could 1) if the person voted Repub, give them some, 2) if they voted for Buck, buck, Barack, sell them a brick for $75
