I will not lie I was originally one of the guys marking up everything I own to make a profit on here. I am a newer member but have followed this site for many months now. The president has used all of us. So shame on us for falling for it. Originally in be beginning this site was greAt for meeting new people and making trades to find things you have been looking for but it seems now that peoe are abusing it for financial gain; at the start of January I was one of them but I always seem to be cheaper than the other guy to many peoe seem to have he mind set of CTD, which is rediculous right now if you check the prices. I was in Walmart the other day just in time to see paid employees ccamped out in the sporting goods department and I was told by an associate they had been there for a coue of hours. The point of this is if paid employees are camped out waiting for Walmart to get inAr's or 10/22 just to take them back to mark them up by the way the store that did this does not have a single ar for under 2000 on their shelf this is an outrage and the greed must stop. Again the other night I went in Walmart to see the owner of the store pack g around waiting on the ammo to be stocked and it took every bit of self control not to call him out on it. As an American I feel it is crazy to support these peoe and allow them to continue to take advantage of us. I admit I have an ar10 listed for around 2300 on here right now but that is because people are offering me dpms sporticals that they feel are worth 1400 when they just bought it for less than 700 At Wally World. It is out of hand and there are enough people on this site to make a stand. I was selling .223 at .50 cents around and was still about a .25 cheaper than everyone else so I guess my question is when are you willing to make a stand for what is right. How do some of you sleep at night? If you want to rape people try GB unless it is qquestionable about being stolen or not there is no need to place it here if you want to rob someone do it out of state. Georgia is a brotherhood state and with the greed some members are showing I would never stand beside you in a te to need hell I wouldn't care if you starved or not, your 700 dollar profit on a sporticals is not earning you any friends just enemies so good luck when Shtf because I can assure you it will be a lonely feeling when no one wants anything to do with you. Well that is enough rambling just remember in 2008 when you could not find ammo especially 380 it always gets better but you will never be able to change the first impression you make on someone. Sorry for any Mis spelling it was hard to do this from my phone.

It will pass,as soon as the politicians and the media have something more important too work on.The economy.
Yea I just kinda stopped looking at the classifieds because I want to ask people whats their thinking behind some of these prices but I just stop. Its only going to get me an infraction. I have done a few trades since this madness. I've priced my items very fairly. A XD mag for like $20, buckshot my 500 doesn't like for what I paid for it or less, and .45 ammo for less than market value. In the process I've met a really cool ODTer that I have continued to help and would like to do business with in the future.
As far as what we can do to make a stand. It'll just take everyone not patronizing sellers that are looking to make the quick buck. I've always felt that if this is a community forum we should behave in such a manner. This statement applies to pre-tard prices but if someone wants to list a G19 for $600 I should be able to ask why they feel as though its worth $600. If they are that much into it then like them state it but the whole You can't question a price thing is BS IMO. If you went to a dealership and saw a $60,000 Ford Escort you'd ask why it was $60k right? If the salesman said well this was taken to Saleen and has 500whp then you can better understand the pricing.

Same here I don't really pay much attention to the classifieds at this time, I've already gotten a few infractions...
Infraction here too. I don't even consider buying the inflated priced guns it's like buying a house during the bubble, you will lose a lot of money when the prices get back to a stable level.
So let me get this straight, you are complaining about price gouging, but you yourself are okay because you are slightly cheaper? A little hypocritical? If it bothers you so much, then go back and adjust your prices accordingly, then your rant is valid. Till then.....
Yeah dude trying to make yourself feel good about yourself,Ain't happening.You make the team.....GLWS
AMEN. This is a free country, you have the right to charge what you like for whatever you want. I personally don't want anyone telling me what I can and can't charge for what is mine, period. You have the right to shop where ever you like. You dont like my, or anyone else prices? Take your business elsewhere. No need to rant about it, just move along...
Well I see some of you get where I am going with this but for the people who say my prices were hypocritical you should understand that list price and sell price are not always the se thing just because I listed it and was selling it at that price does not mean that is what I got check my feedback I was cheaper than Walmart on most of my deals. As far as the ar10i listed it at that price because I was getting offers for what people think their ar's are worth because of the panic example being sporticals for over 1400. I just don't feel that is what this website was designed for.
