Pern 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Does anyone notice a spike in price on all model Saiga rifles and shotguns? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Nope never noticed it I like paying $700 for a shotgun I could buy in 2004 for $299. What price increase, next your going to tell me that some saiga shotguns don't function 100% out of the box and I am going to have to tear apart my NIB gun and do work and/or buy parts for it just to get it to cycle.BULLSHIT 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bridis 319 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 You mean they didn't always retail for $700.00? Weird... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tktm 13 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 everything is going up no its the value of your money that has gone down. In 2004 Schultz paid $299 for a Saiga; the price of gold (upper) was $460 Today the price of gold is $1400; that means the price of Saiga should be $883. If you do the same thing but use the price of oil, a Saiga should cost $600 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you do the same thing but use the price of oil, a Saiga should cost $600 Using this logic, real estate should be through the roof, a Honda Civic should cost $60,000.00 and a loaf of bread would cost a days pay.

In 2004 the average agricultural land value in North East Nebraska was $1,388 per acre In Feb 2010 the average agricultural land value in North East Nebraska was $ $2,898 per acre (2011 figures will be even higher) So based on those real estate values the price of a Saiga should be $624 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TexasTech 32 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Importer raising the price plus demand has cause the price increase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GONIF 7 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Supply and Demand . It is all about maximizeing the profit . Think of it this way ,If 99% of women were drop dead beautifull and 1% of the women were out and out barkers ,the barkers would be in great demand because there are so few . When the Saiga supply pipe line gets going again there will me more supply and prices will drop . Had I listened to my buddy Jef Covino at Arizona Armory 2 years ago I could have bought my Saiga's for $300.00 each,but I waited and paid more .

You mean the one that another, correct, example was given for? Although, with an IQ of 61, I could see how you could have missed that and still stand by your asinine assertions. Back on topic: I just checked gunbroker and they are up over $700 and people are still bidding on them. Edited March 6, 2011 by PostsOnPercocet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it were, you'd lose. Now just because I don't choose to spend my time researching inane references and posting links so some halfwit like YOU who doesn't understand my original point to begin with might read them, doesn't compromise the validity of what I've said. Let's see if you can grasp this simple concept and then you can go search for your much needed facts or logic. Gold is a non-perishable, precious mineral that can't be manufactured or upgraded. A Saiga 12 is a shotgun. Neither share anything in common other than they both have a cost. Therefore comparing them may be interesting, but ultimately pointless. Much like this conversation and your existence. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Much like this conversation and your existence. Wow, you really are fucking dumb, aren't you....Gold has always been used to gauge the real value of fiat monies. tktm was doing, basically, that. That is the CORE CONCEPT you don't seem to grasp. Are you going to try and argue that our fiat dollar hasn't lost most of it's "value"? It's funny watching you trying to get smart with me when you can't even grasp the basic concept tktm was trying to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
