AR Prices Going Down--Rift Between Makers & Sellers Growing

[Old Fart]

Everybody ought to hold off another 6 or 8 months and see if the prices get lower.
They might eventually come back down to where they should have been.

I still think its funny that a mini-14 is as almost as much as an AR.

They need to take some business classes. If you have 5 you bought high, buy 5 more at then new price, sell them based on the average cost, lick your wounds and treat your customers right. It's not like they are "loosing" money, unless they really are "that dumb"

I wish SKS's would come down. Yugos are $300 even at wholesale price

Pretty much why most business's are going under these days.
Refusal to do ethical practices. <- That'll probably stir a few up.

What's the best deal for a 20 inch any -brand- but Olyimpic in OKC these days? A2, rifle furniture basic mil spec

this thread is funny, and puts into perspective how we will be looking back on this latest bubble of dec 2012

A trip down memory lane. And we thought $25 for pmags was outrageous.

So the retailers misread the supply and bought too many, and now wholesale prices are cut - too bad; why'd you order so many? Anyone with half a brain could have seen that bubble bursting a mile away about a year back - why on earth would you order so many? And these same retailers are free to order more at the new lower price if they want to - they're just stuck with the inventory they over-ordered on - is that the manufacturer's fault?

+1... no sympathy here. It all falls back to what Carlin said... "Making money is not enough. Even the most ethical of businessmen will strive to take advantage to eek out a $hlt ton of money."

Then again, there's always enough idiots out the to pay over MSRP
