New Slide Fire/ Bump Stock Listing Rules

I’m curious to know how many people on here were around right after Sandy Hook. I’ve been on the ODT for a long time and recall HUNDREDS of AR’s that cost $400-600 being priced on the ODT days after the tragedy for $1k and up. Pmags for $50 a piece on here was a daily thing. Drum mags, forget about it. $500 or more for the Korean models. I also wonder if any of those “flippers” are on here now complaining about Bump stock pricing or are they on the other side? Hindsight is all 20/20, if we could have been around before the machine gun ban and bought up thousands of full autos just to hold them for “assets” that are now priced $8k and WAY up beyond that. Being a dealer I have two cases of SlideFire SBS stocks sitting in our storage, couldn’t sell them two weeks ago for even dealer cost so they got put away to make room for items that are actually selling. Now with the current market, we’re in the debate of selling at “current market value” or “actual value”. Dude at the gunshow in Augusta this weekend across from me had six of the cheap knock off SlideFire stocks yesterday morning. Show opened at 9am, he had them up on a display rack priced at $600. GONE before 9:15. Guy made more profit in 15 minutes than he usually does an entire weekend. Is that gouging or is that “free market”? He didn’t seem like he felt guilty about it, and at the end of the day I don’t think the buyers feel guilty or cheated since they paid what the market bears at the moment. Given circumstances right now, prices on those things could jump up to 1k or more easily, especially if they are banned but grandfathered in for existing owners.

You should definitely be selling them for as much as you can get right now, and with absolutely 0 shame or guilt.
 
If you list anything for sale, you are a flipper.

Most people use the term for profiteers that are buying all the cheap stuff and running the prices up above retail to resell it.

Some call that supply and demand, but given a totally different set of circumstances, their ideology changes. Many people think unlicensed dealers have too great an advantage over those of us who cannot man the Net all day, looking for the good deals.
