[QUOTE="vicious, post: 2037749, member: 3937"] I agree that I won't know when the product will arrive when it's on backorder, but they are receiving shipments with estimated delivery dates within the month. Might it take longer? Sure. As far as letting the last items of stock go at the market value, well it was priced at market value when you bought it and put it on the shelves, right? It's still market value, except you want to profit from panic by raising the on-hand value. This is where I can see a couple of dollars, but doubling the price just doesn't seem right. There are shops out there who are still selling at the normal rates, so isn't that market value? How do you make the determination of market value? Because 1 guy will pay $50 for a mag, or because you can get 10 people to buy them for $20? You're free to do what you want to do, I'm just basing my thoughts off my own morals, and I try to be fair in everything I do. Capitalizing off fear simply doesn't sit right with me. I guess this is where we'll have to agree to disagree. What I find really funny is that I've seen there is no shortages with regard to over priced stuff. On here there are no less than 50 P MAGS priced double (or more) than MSRP. I'd hazard a guess these were guys who ran out and bought as many as they could only to resell them at an inflated (they are all new in packaging). I don't think it's the average joe going out to buy a rifle and a mag or two causing the panic. It's guys who are intentionally trying to rake people over the coals who are doing it. Certainly if there was a true shortage you'd only see one or two. I think that if they sit long enough, these guys who [b][i]needed[/i][/b][i][/i] to clear the shelves even though they didn't need the product may realize that their prices really are a little high. My argument is simple. If you absolutely need it, pay the price you're willing to pay. If you don't need it, then sit tight and wait. Things will simmer down. Pay attention to those who are capitalizing off fear, and be wary of patronizing them in the future. That's what I'm doing. [/QUOTE]
