FT Looking to see if there is any integrity left here?

There is a difference in selling products that you have that there is a high demand for and going out and buying stuff that is in high demand just to jack the prices up on it and selling it. That's what we have going on here. I know because i was told by a gentleman in a gunstore that is a member on here that he was buying 10 mags just for that. If you can do that and live with yourself then more power to you. Its other people who are buying the products from people at those ridiculous prices that makes it worse.
 
Well I am going to end with this. Thank you all for adding your thoughts to this post, and yes my point has been made. Troy9749 stated why trade with me when he can make enough money on gunbroker by selling "a" stripped lower (meaning 1) or 10 Pmags. The answer to this is simple, we all gather here for a common interest which is firearms and our right to keep them, and the right to keep the government away from them. I am not here to make money, or take advantage of anyone's need. I am here to trade with people and buy and sell with people who have the same passion that I do. I have made some trades and bought and sold with members here, and I have met some great people. When I trade it is to get something new and finding someone who is in the same situation it has never been about making money. For whatever reason, because of the scare recently it has become all about the money everywhere I turn, in our favorite local gunshops and pawn shops to all over the internet. I am disappointed in this, that things can take such a rapid decline even in an environment that was created for people with a passion, and a strong belief in the right to protect our lives and families this post was not meant to hurt any feeling. It was meant to hopefully help us not to lose sight why we are here. I am not looking to trade that is correct Galvatron. I was doing nothing more than making an attempt to keep something I enjoy away from the darkside. Thank you all for listening.

I think you don't understand when you say "take advantage of other people's needs"
People need food, need water and need air, last I checked that's it, the second amendment says you have a right to bear arms, not you NEED them just a right to have them. Also I have a right to sell something at whatever fee I want, let's say next week your glock is worth two lowers, would you only take one lower because that was the trade value you placed on it last week? Doubtful, you have failed to make any realistic or valid point with anything.
 
Nope had to work. I also have enjoyed seeing the discussion about this topic, it has served me well. Thank you to all that have posted.
I will finish shedding light on this later tonight.

Could someone please explain to me what the purpose or lesson we were supposed to derive from the original post? Are we supposed to give our hard earned items away to fullfill his definition of integrity?
