[QUOTE="Repubiman, post: 2056895, member: 971"] I stand by my statement. First what the govt. is doing and proposing to do, is illegal and traitorous, there is absolutely No argument there. But regardless, they have not directly passed laws to price fix the markets. The markets are still free To determine fair market value by the buyer/seller. If it isn't how do you explain people willing to pay the crazy prices That sellers are getting? No one forced them to pay that price, they entered in to their decision to buy freely. Through thousands of years, prices have been determined by the availability of any one item. Once that item becomes Limited in quantity and you have more buyers needing an item than there are the items itself, the buyers always Determine what they will pay to acquire said item. Once the last ban was allowed to expire, prices dropped dramatically. I didn't see people complaining that all of a sudden they now could acquire everything a lot cheaper. And, I never recall a seller of said items complain to the buyer that he was getting "gouged" buy selling at the new lower prices. Again, it comes down to the market determining what buyers are willing to pay in said market. I would love to still be able to aquire a few more 33 rd. Glock mags but am not willing to pay the asking price for them at today's prices. I'm not going to be-otch about the prices, I'm either going to determine what my want/need will allow me to pay for said item, or decide the end doesn't justify the means. The one I will not allow myself, is to base my decision on emotion vs. logic. I believe everyone here is confusing free market value for an item because their emotion will not allow them the new reality. If people still believe that it Is "gouging" then sell me your excess 50rd. boxes of 9mm for $9 a box. I will thank you profusely for your fairness and your willingness to not allow the new normal to affect your selling price since after all, that's what you paid for said item. [/QUOTE]
