Can we PLEASE go back to a minimum post count before

[Rez Exelon]

So I have to pay to have an opinion? This isn’t an issue of national or state level importance. It’s a PUBLIC forum. Public forums by nature of being public don’t require a paid membership. Otherwise it would require payment prior to people being allowed to join.

Seems like there's plenty on this thread that would close this off to a paid members only forum. At that point we'd have more say in things. Until then, as I mentioned earlier, we are the product, not the client. The product doesn't get to dictate much.

True words. Here’s one of those “Case and Point” issues. Right now in the classifieds there is an individual with a BONE STOCK GEN 3 GLOCK 19. They seem to think it’s work $600.00. This individual has a very low post count. My point is made. Granted the post count is over 100. But....

Looks pretty free as it is now. There are several that have expressed their opinion without being banned, some for example have posted eight times on this thread. No one is forced to participate, post, read, sell, buy, or any of the other things one might wish to do. Some of this seems to be a reflection of the worst of FaceBook.

Don't buy the Glock 19...

fear not. I’ll not be purchasing anything anytime soon. It’s tax season. I agree 100 % with everything you’re saying. EXCEPT. That the point is still not being understood. This is supposed to be a gun community. Not a forum to gouge prices and make a much money as someone will pay for overpriced goods. My opinion is that in order to participate in buying and selling on this public forum, people should be a little, teeny, tiny bit invested in it. Again, just one mans opinion.

Unless you're willing to give 600 bucks.

It's worth it being a site supporter just to check out the nude pics in the "members only" section, so there's that, too.

If you think this is gouging you should check out other regional sites. Up on northwest firearms people are trying to sell primers for 200/k and 80/lb for powder. The markups here don't even compare to other parts of the country.

I think the general consensus is that everyone is annoyed at the “inflated” prices and while I myself am also annoyed, it’s hard to blame people for trying to “capitalize” on the situation.

I wouldn't call it "capitalize"...... I would call it profiteering

So a true "neckbeard" should buy Oklahoma stuff and sell it elsewhere for a yuuuge profit?

Then out of state guys will be crying foul.

We need subsidies for ammo and price controls. And a curb on posting high prices 'cause it "triggers" some people.

 

[DavidMcmillan]

I know we may think otherwise, buy ammo is not an essential. We are not being forced to buy at any price.

I use the classifieds to buy and sell firearms to individuals who are willing to pay market price, just like I am. If I still have a firearm whenever the value of the item goes down, I'll sell it to you for that value. I am selling a Glock 19 for $600. I also just bought some AR parts for $800 that would've cost me $400 2 years ago, for the same parts.

On another note, if you have any gold to sell me at $1200 an oz, I'll take all you have.
