Venia 249 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Anyone else considering becoming a seller lately? If this becomes the norm, man I can't turn away cash like that. I'd list an unconverted saiga in a minute....shit maybe even the converted one too. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=322262003 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SwissyJim 117 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 nope...not selling, but doing a little buying. Did see a apwn shop had a Saiga .223 for $380 cash... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Yeah pawn shops seem to be better than gunbroker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zombiehunter762 376 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Not selling anything even though I could make a fortune. Gunstroker where idoits spend thousands when they could have save hundreds. Edited December 20, 2012 by MfWiC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Been sitting on the fence for a S12 drum. Generally I prefer mags as they just seem more practical to me, but considering picking up a Promag 12 round nutsack with all the shit apparently coming down. Should I jump, or just buy another couple of 10 round mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'd be shocked if it sold for that price. Greedy bastard. Not selling. I would rather keep my guns and share them with family and friends in the event we need them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Greed is an awesome thin isn't it? I just saw an Unconverted Saiga x39 for sale on armslist for $1200 and he was selling it with 2 30rnd mags, and posted a pic with the 30 round mag in the Unconverted NON-922r compliant rifle.

mostholycerebus 415 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I dont have enough to sell, just a couple. But if I had more than a few, id sell. How many can I really use at a time? How many mags will I really ever need? Plus, I WANT more gun owners and enthusiasts, so if Mr n00b needs something and wants to pay well, why not? He'll pay it back to me by joining us and pressuring his own congressmen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbanzai 113 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 If these idiots get their price, it'll mean something REALLY bad just happened. Fortuantely there's enough sane people out there to where you can still find firearms for a fairly reasonable price. If you don't already have the ammo though, you may be fucked.

XD45 7,124 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I'm amazed at the people who CLAIM to support freedom, and then want to tar and feather other people for things that are just none of their damn business. You think you have the right to look down on someone because something they OWN has gone up in value recently due to circumstances outside their control? You think they should sell to you for last month's price just because you want them to? You think it's "unfair" to ask a higher price? Supply and demand doesn't work like that. The demand has gone up, so the price has gone up. I have some I'd sell if the price got ridiculously high. Call me greedy? As I recall, I bought these guns, and nobody else gets to decide how much I sell them for. A transaction is between the buyer and the seller. If the seller wants more than the buyer will pay, then the buyer simply walks away. And if the buyer is willing to pay, who's damn business is that? I have some AR mags I ordered when I realized where this was going. I paid less than $7 each for them and I intend to sell them for more than that. Economics 101.

sccritterkiller 473 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) If I didn't have two sons at these prices I might consider letting one of my S12s go. I will never sell a thing, unless I need it for their tuition. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=321910869 I remember the good ole days when you could get a converted one for that price....LOL Edited December 21, 2012 by sccritterkiller Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobRez 1,895 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Seems to me that whole supply and demand thing is a One-way excuse businessmen use to raise prices. They raise the price of ammo, because they are selling out, and yet when the demand dies down and the shelves are full again the price does NOT go down. I am all for someone trying to get a sucker to pay more than an item is worth and maximise profit, but when the gun shop down the road from me is still selling the same Saiga x39, New, for $329, I guess I am happy to not be that Sucker, but I still think the guy trying to sell one for $1200, with illegal Mags, is a complete ass. But we all know about opinions. edit: Getting mags for $7, that retail for $15 isn't greedy, that is smart business. You can instantly double your money @ a Fair market value.

mogunner 240 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Been contemplating tossing my converted x39 on Armslist and see if I could get a decent SKS and 12 gauge shotty for it. Got offered a Mossberg 500 and a Colt Cobra .37 for it but passed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're just not getting the concept of free enterprise. The owner sets the price. The buyer can buy or not. If supply comes back up and demand drops, the seller is under no obligation to lower the price. He still owns it. But he probably won't sell much if his prices are not competitive. I laugh at people who overprice their crap and don't sell it. But I tip my hat to people who get top dollar for their crap. What is ANYTHING worth? As much as somebody is willing to pay for it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I agree, that is why I added the fact that they are still available at a "Normal" price. I am happy to be the educated consumer. If folks really believe that my S-x39 is now Worth $2500, in it's converted state, and my S-308 is worth even more, maybe I Will sell them and just go get new ones for cheap, and have the New guns for me. Business is business, but we all know that that means "If it bends over, Fuck-it!!" If I can get 4x the value of my gun, for no real reason but taking advantage of panicing suckers, it is perfectly legal, normal business. As I said, it is just my opinion that I think the fella jumping the gun with a price of $1200 is an ass, and I am also SURE that there are peoples opinions that I am an ass. I seriously will consider selling some guns if the true market price/value is in those ranges. I would be happy with my lever action and pump gun and 6k in my pocket. Doesn't change the fact that some folks are really just trying to screw the uneducated consumer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
