I enjoy checking out AR auctions on ebay, gunbroker, and auction arms but get so pissed when I see dealers like Cheaper that dirt waste my time. Like 3/4 if all the auctions are businesses that have a high reserve and ridiculous shipping.
Does this piss off anyone else or what? I mean I know ebay allows businesses to use their service and I realize that its prolly a good deal for Cheaper than dirt, but don't waste our time. Most likely anyone who is into ARs prolly knows about Cheaper than dirt already. Since their auctions have a reserve about as high as their normal prices anyway then all their doing is getting some cheap advertising.
It seems everything on the gun specific auction sites are from a small handful of dealers who just keep putting up the same shit. Nobody seems to ever sell anything, yet they refuse to let it go for less so its just a never-ending cycle with the same stuff coming up again and again.
Worst of all is the damn "KLINTON WANTS YOUR MAGS!!!!" auctions. There are always a hundred of these spread out all over the place so you have to try to tune them out, and they never have any bids anyway.

What a joke, thanks for listening to me bitch.
