They have no one to blame but themselves paying those outrageous markups. I can see paying a little extra, but those guys are insane. In two to three months they Will be back down to regular price.
Saw 1000 rds of wolf ammo at $570 with 13 hours left in the auction, like they say there's a sucker born every minute. I wouldn't run that Russian trash through my gun unless it was all out war and I ran out of rocks to throw.
I can't believe how fast things have escalated in just the last 2 days... Even Monday wasn't horrible - saw a bunch of DPMS complete lowers for just under $350. Either yesterday or Tuesday I actually bought a stripped Spikes Spider lower on GB for $191 shipped and I snarled when I had to pay that.... Sure glad I picked it up - just in case pricing and availability don't come back to earth... I've got my RRA and Spikes lower - now I'm happy/satisfied - least for now :-)
Im trying to find a place to buy some magazines, but even those are getting outrageous. Anyone have any recommendations??
I've got an order in with Brownells... They are on backorder but they still let me place the order... Figure may as well get my name on the list - eventually some should come in....
Been trying to find an upper to fit my M&P Lower I just picked up for 149. Gonna have to wait I guess.
I picked up a stripped lower from a buddy who has his ffl for $95. Couldn't find them anywhere around here.
I have a stripped palmetto state armory lower here that I paid a total of 87.00 for. A bunch of p-mags that we paid $9 each for..... Pretty tempted to put them on gunbroker right now. Heh heh heh.
Some things are going high, but the all of the holy **** prices are asking prices... People aren't paying those outrageous prices (yet?). I am sure you would turn a decent profit though.
Crazy! I have only been checking the prices on the lowers. I have noticed people pay double to triple markup on lowers. Some people have stripped lowers listed for like $1600. Not sure what their thought process is when there are a lot of other lowers for a small fraction of that. You can get off brand lowers for $150-200.
I just checked the manhattan Craigslist, and there is a completely stripped lower for $1000. It just says "stripped lower, email me".
Here is a good one from Armslist... "I have a AR complete lower! I bought the lower for 100 bucks, bought a lower parts kit, and hammered the thing together in my garage! I'm a total pro gun smith You can buy it for $1000 or I am open to trades for Bentleys, kidneys, or your first born. I'll take an arm and a leg, but you'll have to add cash. NO LOWBALLERS!!!!!!! I NO WUT I GOT"
^LOL! Matt, just go order some on MidwayUSA. http://www.midwayusa.com/find?&newcategorydimensionid=1675 They're backordered but they'll get more. Even if they do ban 30 round mags, it's going to be awhile.
