Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Price gouging

But did you enjoy the play Mrs. Lincoln

What about the sellers on here that have listed MULITPLES of the same category of items, bump every 3 to 8 hours, and and and........

Right on. These are classified ads, not Twitter threads.

It doesn't matter how many times a post is bumped. Under the Followed Forums feature, just change the 'Sort By' option to 'Thread Creation'. If you sort the displayed results of whatever forums you're looking at by "THREAD CREATION", then all you'll see is the most recent posts sorted by their date of creation, no matter how many replies (i.e. bumps) there are in a thread. It works especially well for the 'Free Classifieds' forum.

Just wasted 5 minutes of my life!

There is a definitive difference between selling at current market value and price gouging.

However, price gouging usually refers to a company, who having a monopoly market share of at item that is NECESSARY, arbitrarily raises the price just because you have nowhere else to go to get said product.

As long as we aren’t talking about subsistence hunting or self protection, shooting is more of a luxury than a necessity. However, whether you view it as such or not, or whether you view this issue as price gouging or anything else, more vendors in the market place is the answer both in the immediate sense and for the long term.

There is still some serious douchebaggery going on here from time to time, but that’s just life.

Just curious, but wasn't all the Ammo and reloading components we bought through the years to have a large current stockpile not available to all the complainers on this thread as well??🤷‍♂️

At $10 you're still gouging.......

Tarbe for the win. He spelled Realtor right.

I'm looking for clarification....
How's $200 primers different than $3000 Colt pythons or pre64 winchester FW?

YEP!!!! No different but these old azz idiots keep running their mouths. Not one would make a $100 off their colt when they can make a grand. That's a fact.

I'm with you

If you don't like the price, don't buy it. You or I are not another's keeper. If you are smart you plan ahead. Pretty simple concepts Aye?

I think there may be a difference between getting reloading components and buying an item you know has collector value.

Collector value isn’t something planned, it just happens. That’s why there are thousands of commemorative Winchester 1894’s that aren’t worth what a used 1894 is.

No one owes anyone that didn’t buy plenty of ammunition or components, a good deal because they didn’t stock up. All the complaints are from the losers that didn’t buy enough and want a share of the spoils when they run out.

I have yet to hear complaints from the guys that bought plenty, just losers looking for a Biden handout.

if folks were not smart enough to get what they need when it was cheap fug them

For sure. Pretty damn tired of their pissing and moaning about prices.

I just hope the market doesn’t stay that way for long, that could ruin possibly the future of recreational shooting. Those just getting into it are pretty much screwed if you’re limited on funds. But there are many simple minded rats on here that don’t think of it that way. I don’t think anybody is telling anyone what to sell there stuff for. But some of the prices people ask would make some folks go broke before they even get started shooting.

Dont know it till you try it...

So capitalism is fine as long as you are a seasoned veteran to it? Since im a simple minded rat, and your only concern is recruiting new shooters, surely you are willing to sell everything you have and dont NEED for the price you paid for it......right?
New shooters step right up. Fire sale......new shooters only and must have "limited funds". Very weak argument.
