WTH?

LOL - nope, but if I put it on Armslist, GB, Ebay....I'm not forcing anyone to buy it.

Did this guy make anyone bid on his lower? What the hell do you not understand about freedom? You are free to ask any price for your property. You are free not to pay for something you deem too high.

Only government sets prices and forces you to pay for stuff, every other entity is by choice.

Guys selling overpriced crap will fail if folks refuse to pay, simple as that.

Guys selling overpriced crap/goods/necessities will fail the folks who need said items and can't afford them when the seller SHOULD keep the price at it's normal/standard rate. When the people can no longer afford goods because the price has be over inflated because of greed you have what????? Say it with me all together now class......SOCIALISM!!!

Holy cow. You really, really need to study up on what socialism is.

You may whine "unfair!" because someone won't sell you what you want at the price you desire, but property rights are the core of individual liberty. (and one reason we have been declining since the 1960s is the loss of property rights)

Don't waste your money on overpriced ammo. Buy a freakin' dictionary.

What is fair? Fair is the price that people are willing to pay. It fluctuates with supply and demand.
Are there greedy @ssholes out there? Absolutely. But higher prices incentivize people to sell something they already have but don't need to those that are in need. If someone prices something higher than the market will bear, then it just won't sell.
Is it better to have things available at inflated prices or just not have things available at all?

All well and good, but Im betting the guy is just hoping to take advantage of someone that doesn't know that $1k for a Anderson Stripped Lower is ****ING insane

Thats not just a GREEDY *******, thats a filthy piece of scum that should be taken care of

And while agree that seller is scum...... Caveat emptor always applies. With freedom comes self responsibility....

And we have the freedom to tell the world this guy is a shithead who really needs to have his family jewels kicked in (if it wasn't a typo of course).

23% minus 13% overhead would leave you with your desired profit margin of 10%. Most publicly traded business operate at 8% after operating cost IF I remember correctly.

Publicly Traded businesses operate on a whole lot more than 8% when they pay shareholders 10 & 20% in some cases.
How do you grow your business if you don't make a decent profit?
You start with 10 items on shelf for $10 each. They cost $7.75 each with a small markup like 23% and a 8% profit you have a 80 cent profit.
What if one falls and breaks then you sell the other 9.
9x .80= $7.20 you can't even replace the one that broke let alone grow your inventory.
Next week somebody steals one. How fast you think you're going out of business?
You have to figure a lot more "profit" than just fixed costs like rent and utilities and help.
Walmart, Lowes, Walgreens, Ace, or any other store at least doubles their money at a minimum, except poor little gun dealers.

I get your point. BUT... You cant always throw total responsibility on the buyer. A new buyer isnt going to know the right questions to ask and that isn't always their fault. Google ISNT always helpful either. If the buyer is lucky, he has someone to tell him not to buy that item

This guy knew what was coming and probably went out and bought 10 Anderson Lowers just so he could make money of people who, unfortunately, dont know that $1k for a lower is 7 time higher than what it normally goes for

Its called buyer beware. Who cares if he sells an upper for $1500. Look at it this way? Is it any different than Cox sales people trying to over sell granny a 1gig internet connection and 250+ channels? When she only checks her email on her 20 year old desktop and looks at cat videos when she isn't watching channel 6.2 news? You don't have to answer that.. ATT does the same thing they all do..
