[QUOTE="ewheeley, post: 2030452, member: 10387"] I spent a little time on arkansashunting.net, today, and it reminded me of why I like you guys so much. Every single thread on there is someone whining about price gouging. Don't bother visiting the forum, you have to be a member to see the threads. Probably a blessing in disguise if you ask me. Anyway, I wanted to point out a trend I've noticed. I have not found a single thread from someone who has purchased a gun at an inflated price and is angry about it. The only threads I see are from angry non-buyers. This has led me to make a few determinations... 1. It is possible that no one has actually bought one of these expensive guns yet. If this is the case, then the sellers are idiots. 2.The vicious, greedy gun sellers are killing buyers during FTF transactions, taking their money, and reposting their items for sale. 3. This one is a stretch... I doubt it's very likely, so don't flame me... The buyers have conducted a cost-benefit analysis and decided that the price they pay is worth the ownership of said item. They are, for lack of a better word, "happy" with their purchase. I'm just tired of seeing people complaining. Some of these people complaining about price gouging are also the ones who accuse Obama of being a socialist. Last time I checked, socialists LOVE fixing prices. Edit: Also, Merry Christmas guys and gals. [/QUOTE]
