When prices drop back to more reasonable levels, I'll start buying more stuff. I refuse to pay full MSRP for any gun, especially when MSRP is something stupid high. Gun prices are as low as they're going to go. Then that stuff is going to be collecting dust. Seriously. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Funny it's almost cheaper or it is cheaper to buy new rather than used. Thats because in the case of some guns like Glocks and S&W revolvers, used is better made than new. I'll pay more for a no LCI, No MIM Glock than than a new Glock. I'll pay more for a no lock, no MIM J-Frame than a new J-frame. Plus no sales tax on used guns in my state. |

Object lesson in supply and demand. There's so much over priced ammo on the shelves right now I can hear them creaking. Prices collapsed on guns, I'm just waiting for it to come down on ammo.
And fuck all those guys at the gun shows with tables of .22lr trying to get .20/rd. I can see them starting to sweat it. |

There's going to be a fire sale some day when they kick the bucket and their family is trying to unload it all! Still ZERO .22 on the shelves in my area. The retail guys tell me that people are still lining up for it as soon as the trucks get in. I still don't want it that bad. |

Sub 1k Colts are not good news for the little guys. The market's been in need of a correction for a while anyway. |

Until shop owners start paying attention to the law, the law of supply and demand, and reduce their prices accordingly, they will continue to have a glut of firearms in stock.
Or, they're just waiting for Hildabeast to make it official and their current stock will be gone within a couple days. |

I am tired of hearing about an ammo shortage when every LGS and online retailers have pallets of 223/5.56 in stock. Spreading fear and panic to justify your high prices doesn't make me want to buy high priced ammo. Do they honestly believe that we only visit one website or LGS to make purchases? Maybe they think you won't notice that the shelves have been full for the last 12 months.

Would anyone have thought during, or before sandy hook that in the future someone would have a sub-$600 AR10/308? I bet not.
Prices can still come down quite a bit. The amount of money generated & invested in the industry was obscene during late 2012-2013 and there's still a ways to go. |

And what do I see the shelves packed with at my local store: 1) plastic AR's, 2) cheapo bolt rifles with crap scopes, and 3) foreign made 12 ga shot guns. Crap, crap, and more crap. Good luck selling any of that garbage that was ordered to rip off first time buyers. |

Inventory is definitely high, but prices are also too high. Real estate is in the same condition.
Shit will not sell if the price is too high. Even backpage and gun boards prices are still too high. People think their shit is made out of fucking gold. |
