[QUOTE="jmiller45, post: 2049185, member: 7186"] I think all of us has had this thought on our minds at least once in the past few weeks. "What do I have that I don't need, how much is that selling for, wonder if my source is still available and if I could replace for a fair price?" I have seen some pricing here that I would be embarrassed to tell anyone about. I've also seen some pricing here that makes me be proud to be a member here. I've bought and sold my fair share here and have always tried to treat people right. I recently bought a lower and a complete AR. I paid a little more than I wanted to for the rifle but knew I would come out alright on the lower. I had a problem with putting it up for sale here because I didn't want to take advantage of anyone here and would feel more obligated to take less of a profit. Kind of like selling to family members. So I took it to the gun show and still sold it for a few hundred less than what most were asking for. If someone has something to sell and they can get five times what they paid for it, good for them! If they can do that to a friend or family member, good for them! The way I look at it, if the work you put in an 8 hour day is worth $100 and your employer is willing to pay you $500 per day and he/she is still making good profit an happy with it, who the hell would turn that down?! There is NOTHING not fair about a price being asked or given for a weapon as long as the buyer & seller are in agreance. When the SHTF and a loaf of bread goes to $20. Then I will be the first to say "That's not fair"! [/QUOTE]
