I'm staying out of the ar market all together right now, but it is what it is, and I won't pretend it isn't. If anyone wants one of my AR's, lowers, or mags I'm going to expect going rate. Those of us old enough to remember Cabbage Patch Kids, original Power Rangers, it was Zhu Zhu pets and few years ago, every video game system the first Christmas it's out, this is the textbook definition of supply and demand in a free market economy. Everything is worth what someone will pay. I'm a Republican voter with a Libertarian heart and this is at the core of my beliefs. I think it's crap, so I'm not playing, but you can't expect me to ignore the rules of the game because you don't like them.
I wouldn't trade my 1911, for a lower and 10 pmags, but I wouldn't expect you to give me 10 lowers for it right now, so it'll just stay on my hip.
Do you remember when people paid upwards of $25,000 for a Mazda Miata it's first year?
I am going to steer clear of it as well I think. You are right my friend.
