Considering I only have 2 cases of 5.56 and one of those will be gone first rifle class of the spring I am really wishing I had bought more.
It is simple economics....supply goes down, prices go up. It isn't gouging if there is someone willing to pay for it, it is market price. Prices will only go as high as buyers allow them to.
Of course they do, Im not begrudging them the right to do what ever they want with their stock. Im sure if he was able to get more from his distributor then he would have left them where they were.
Hahahhahahaa, I have 160 Pmags heading my way. I plan to celebrate American Capitalism on Gunbroker.com.
This is exactly what I said to some guys I saw last night at Academy that I knew...I was getting an ice chest, but when I asked them what they were up to, they replied "buying guns."....I told them they were late to the party if they were just buying now...
Right now they are bringing around $40 each in some auctions.
I thought about selling to buy a SCAR but those mags are over $100 each. Maybe I'll try plan B and sell enough to get a Garand D
The flip side of "gouging" is "hoarding". As in, you have X, Y, and Z that I don't have-- and I "need" some X, Y, and Z, therefore you are "hoarding" and must give to me (or to the government for equitable redistribution)
So yeah, gouge away and I will feel free to buy or not. Just don't come to me talking about hoarding.
I was at H&H earlier to pick up a .22 for plinking and noticed firearms prices (handguns anyway) have not been raised. Ya'll can bash and flame our LGS all you want but those folks are working as hard as they can and putting up with a bunch of crap and haven't gouged or raised. Support your LGS; they are under a lot of BS right now too.
It's a seller's market folks. Be nice to each other.

h&h's prices were a gouge before all this nonsense
I don't mind the prices, but I can tell you what I don't agree with. I stopped by a LGS today and there was a line of people waiting to get in. I waited in line for about 45 minutes and when I got to the door there was a sign saying basically "if you get nics delayed, we are canceling your purchase. We are not holding weapons for delays". I think that is a load of crap considering that is not the customers fault. A guy spends an hour in line, 30 minutes filling out paperwork and then gets a delay and you tear his 4473 up and send him out the door. I get delayed 9 out of 10 times so I decided to leave and not step foot in the store after that.
