Humorous twist to overpriced gun sales

[UnSafe]

As guns, parts and ammo slowly reemerge on the retail shelves, I find humor in the classified ads, Armslist posters and Gunbroker auction listers that somehow think their items are worth 100% markup.

There was a point where foolish or anxious people were throwing stupid amounts of money at sellers, but that time seems to have passed. Hope to see reasonable prices by late spring.

word. It will be nice to be able to shop for ammo again and not go on a hunt for ammo

It hasn't seemed to have passed in my neck of the woods..

All I see is empty ammo shelves everywhere I look.

Unsafe. You are dead nuts right about this. Pmags are back to thirty a pc and dropping. I'd buy some if they were local. But hey I'll wait.
Ammo is available every time I walk in to a wal mart now.

I ran into some guys from Colorado and they made a comment that the ammo shortage was just as bad here as in Colorado.

Still bare in my neck of the woods. Also, I bet it'll be 8 months or more before it's even close to normal.

Patience.

Yes, I'm even picking up my 9mm brass because it seems like a good idea, haven't seen ammo of use to me in a while and am waiting on 2 back ordered BCG's, but I will not participate in the craziness of late.

I walked around 2A today looking at prices... Pretty gougy, but in the same business sense, I wouldn't give a customer a great deal just so he/she could flip it for profit.

I'm not mad at any retailers really. If they normally sell 50 rifles a month to keep the lights on and now there only getting 5 to 10 a month with no guarantee on that then I too would be selling them for whatever I could get out of it. With that being said I still applaud the guys that are keeping the prices somewhat normal. It's no big deal for sporting good stores that don't depend solely on gun sales to keep the doors open but a lot of our supporters on here do.

I seen some AK's at sportsworld, WASR-10's to be exact. They were $950ish apiece and a guy was buying one.
