HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Nothing on ebay matches the insanity of gunbroker during the height of the panic. Things were crazy! Mediocre S-12's were going for $4000. I remember getting all pissed off and frustrated. Fortunately for us prices are starting to normalize. Hopefully in a year we're back to fully stocked shelves with reasonable price tags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
travistp 63 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Prices have dropped except on certain ammo. Never will be what it once was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm not so sure of the pricing of ammo, more plants are coming online to make up for increased demand.. There was a realization in 2011 through 2012 that more people are using ammo, that its not just panic buyers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vulcan16 971 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Texas Shooters Supply is Dimitri, and he's located in Spring. Hell of a salesman, all of his stuff is way over priced. Whenever I sell a Saiga at a Houston gun show.......I just hang out near his booth. Dimitri makes anyone's price seem reasonable. Edited June 7, 2013 by Jet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The seller is always way above MSRP, does half ass Saiga Conversions for the price of a quality build. Most of his business comes from newbies at Houston area gun shows. I refuse to do business with the scumbag. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Personally I don't have a problem with any of this. that guy is gouging, and running a bushiness doesn't give you a get out of jail free card to do whatever you want without people saying anything. that being said, its his business and he can charge what he wants and choose who he deals with as well. May the buyer and seller beware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
travistp 63 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I dont care what or who he sells too. I just made a point that I can get a tromix for 24 $ I offered him 27 $. He moved it to 35.00 $ so I in return sent him a link an it was my way of saying fawkoff. But to charge 40 $+.. come in now. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I would briefly explain freedom and the free market but it is becoming superfluous. Maybe if Obama is granted dictatorship you will get your way and "people selling stuff that expensive will have their eBay account banned." What do you suppose the penalty should be for selling an item above what others are selling at? A fine? Incarceration? I would say, just don't buy the product if it is more than you feel it is worth. Write the guy a nasty message, inform others about the value of said product, but for Christ's sake let a free man ask whatever price he chooses for his property. This is still America I hope. So what should the penalty be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WUNDERWAFFEN 21 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I sometimes find it funny that some people like to complain about prices. I sometimes find it funny that some people like to complain about the person complaining about prices. I sometimes find it funny that some people like to point out that this is America... I sometimes find it funny that some people like to put an (even at $10) overpriced large knob on something millions of real soldiers never had a problem with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
