kresk 10,063 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) The guy does appear as a bit of a greedy fucker but, it's a perfect example of the joys of capitalism.

PolarBearBait 3 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Someone could with great ease contact the bidders and direct them to AGP, then sick the E-bay gun Nazis on the listing LOL Oh wait he lives in North Las Vegas, think I'll just send him my ex-wifes phone number, that could be far worst punishment! I personaly think it sucks since I could really use these, but I missed the first run. Now because they want to make a quick buck, people that would have used them have to wait. They could have been mine David Edited November 3, 2006 by PolarBearBait Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 AGP Website says "*** WE ARE CURRENTLY SOLD OUT*** *** MORE WILL BE AVAILABLE END OF NOVEMBER*** " The gentlemen will have a very small window of opportunity if that makes you feel better.

usamark 1 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) so what? It happens all the time. Look at the FNC sears - they were sold for $2500/ea now look. They'd be even higher if there were more FNC's. Let'em fish. Hopefully the suckers will get smarter....see if u look @ it that way, they're doing us a favor by making us smarter. Here's another guy: http://www.sturmgewehr.com/webBBS/parts.cgi?read=180874 Watch at the shows for these to show up...they'll be more than the guns.

Crow 2 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Like I said in the other post, I sure hope Kevin is eventually able to flood/corner the market and this sort of Saigagouging becomes a thing of the past. I'm all for capitalism but I place community above it. My money will go to Kevin or dealers that are supporting him. I can wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunboy69 50 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Did you guys try The Gun Source? I just ordered from them last week, and AGP said TGS is getting thier mags from the first run. I think you will also be able to get them from Atlantic firearms.

AKOK 4 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have no problem with that.....he could put the up there for $10000 for all I care. Capitalisum..gotta love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steph 5 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Right on, hip hip hooray for America and capitalism. Good for him, Caveat emptor! If we can buy Manahttan for $28 worth of baubles, I say if the seller and buyer are happy, I won't sit on the sidelines and judge or interfere. I paid almost $1,000.00 for a converted Saiga 12, and put another $500 in it, because at the time they couldn't be found, and I'm not whining. (BTW, I'm #63 on the AGP mag preorder list!!)

You are all a quart short of an oil change. $100 for a $25-$30 mag (and that's with a healthy profit) is insane, and it will go on a long a people bend over and take it. Sad.

topmaul 42 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 How about some ethics, who ever buys that mag is going to find out real fast that they were screwed. I had half a mind to call the E-bay police but it's not my concern. Seriously I doubt he will sell it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sad. How can people be for freedom, then bitch when other folks excercise it?! I'm never paying that much for a mag, but why should we care if someone else wants to? It's only money after all. I think $55.00 dollars for a 10 round mag is overpriced, but I'm willing to pay it because of supply and demand. I don't think the guy is ripped off if he walks away $200.00 lighter for a $25.00 mag and is happy. Its not sad, its amusing. I think I'm seeing envy from folks who don't have high cap mags and don't have that kind of money to throw around. Unless of course you're a socialist, and think the government should decide what is a fair profit, and set price controls to try to prevent gouging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless of course you're a socialist, and think the government should decide what is a fair profit, and set price controls to try to prevent gouging. Envy has NOTHING at all to do with it, bro. THat's simply a price that shows that someone wants to get rich quick. I am all in favor of that, however, anyone that knows anything at all about business, also knows that you can sell fifty at the $200 price, or 5,000 at a more realistic price. I have a bunch of Saiga 12 highcaps, but I would like a few 10 rounders, but, this guy's prices run counter to my common sense and self-respect, as I am sure it does for most people here. I was a contractor before going to law school. I thought my swimming pools (my specialty) were worth much, much more than the other guy's. Ther were certainly built much, much better, but I learned pretty fast that what I thought about my product was not what the average consumer thought about when shopping for a swimming pool. I needed--and got--a quick reality check. If we stick to our common sense, so will this guy. How about some ethics, who ever buys that mag is going to find out real fast that they were screwed. I had half a mind to call the E-bay police but it's not my concern. Seriously I doubt he will sell it. Right on. That's the reality check I was talking about. It's-a-comin'.

762minigun 1 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 this guy is going to give him a run for his money with reasonable shipping as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twinhairdryers 2 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) I think the ethics thing is related to selling something you don't even have. How did he even get a hold of the mag before they shipped? Isn't that a pic that we have seen from AGP somewhere? Is he selling something he doesn't even had yet? I'd be pretty pissed if it took 3 weeks to receive something I paid almost double what it was worth for. And for 12.00 shipping that FU#)*)( better come in a steele case with your initials engraved into it. Edited November 6, 2006 by twinhairdryers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I almost e-mailed him to ask him if I bid and won a mag how long would shipping take? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
