Supply and demand .
A friend sold his GMC Sierra with 56,000 miles on for $7,000 MORE than what he paid for it new because of the chip shortage .
Funny , nobody called him a shyster or scalper .
Except that is NO demand for $1900 1950's 99R's. None. Zero. Zilch.
If there's a demand, show me a few more 99R's in 300 that sold for $1900 or above. There's a ton of 1950's 99R's in 300, so should be easy to find.
The seller's name is now worth a 25%-50% premium to any gun he sells. The gun itself wouldn't sell for that much in any other venue. In fact it just sold for 40% of what somebody paid this seller.
Do you spend 25% to 50% more for a truck because it's being sold by a nice dealer? Would you consider that sane?
