I cut a tree down for an old guy for $4,500 once. I told him I would cut it down for $800 and he balked at the price and tried to do it himself. A few days later he called me and said he was cutting the back cut and the tree "popped" and started leaning toward the house. I told him $4,500. He said fuck you you cocksucker what the fuck is wrong with you and hung up on me. I got off the phone and headed over. He goes "$4,500?", I go yup, and if I fuck up your fuck up even more my insurance will buy you a new house. He gave me a nod and I got to work. 20 minutes later we had a good laugh and he cut me a check for $4,500. This was a 120' tree next to a 1.8 million dollar house for those wondering.

Back in the giant shit show in 2013 I banged this guys wife for 25 Pmags, 10 new, 5 used and 10 with some m855 I got for free.
I thought it was gonna be kinda weird but wasn't bad, she was actually good looking but seemed overly into it. They offered the deal, I didn't ask. I had been going out with my GF at the time for like 3yrs at that point so I wasn't really looking for randoms. |

Bought a 10 pack of Pmags right at the start of the last panic... they were on gunbroker, unknowingly the seller was Botach. I actually got them.. was about $100.
As soon as I got them, put them on gunbroker and got nearly $500 for the set. |

I put 5 box's of federal 550rd box (22lr ammo ) up for
sale in a local on line consignment auction. Opening bid was $5 each. All went for between $170 to $180. Did the same thing a month later and got $125- $140 each They paid a buyers fee on top of that. |

Flipped an RPD that I had less than $1k into for enough cash to buy an unfired M/11-9 with 10 mags and a parts kit.
This was post sandy hook. |
|
6k for a real nice 50 beuwolf AR. I was selling one of my shitty loaner ARs (for 700, which wasn't too bad considering what stuff was going for) during the post sand hook panic and the guy asked for a better lit picture of it so I sent my standing wall of AR15s pic as it looked clear.
He asked about the tan one and I said "that a 50 Beowulf, it's not for sale and it's my very favorite rifle" He said "I'll give you 6k for it" I asked him where he needed it mailed to. I also shipped him all 300 rounds I had so I wouldn't feel so bad about it. Rifle had around 1300 into it likely. When sandhook happened I was downrange and my now ex wife had just nixed a purchase of close to thirty thousand rounds because "she didn't want to move it to the basement" She also refused to fly across country to the storage unit where I had like 400 NIB GI mags sitting in a duffle bag. |

Sold some lowers I paid $50 for.
Some idiot paid $500 each for them. Not a bad return. |

It was in December at a Toys For Tots event, I was helping the Marine unit collect donations. Volenteer to help out, send me and 2 boots to some hotel party...... It was a swingers party, I'm like ummmmmm well, uhh, this is different. Just happened to have all that shit in my car since dumbasses leave their shit in the armory area and I keep it. But yea I was selling lowers for $400 at one point earlier in the hear. The idiots who wanted "off the books" stuff. idiots really. |

Shorted NFLX around $480 and covered around $320, twice in the last few years. May do it again
Have traded or sold guns that I didn't like, but never made a dollar net net and have never sold even one round of ammo - I think it would ruin the hobby for me to think of it that way |

2013 panic, obviously. $21.37 (IIRC) brick of Golden Bullet, sold on Gunbroker at my BIN price of $100. Around the same time, also sold my $800 lefty Stag AR on Gunbroker for $2400. That was when the first hairs began to sprout upon my neck.

Sorry, I'm not a piece of shit.
I've never ripped anyone off, even in a time of need |

Back in '94 I had a HK91 that I bought for $800 and sold for $3500, a 20" Colt AR that I bought for $625 and sold for $1700, an Armscorp FAL that I bought for $875 and sold for $1800, and a Sterling AR180 that I bought for $400 and sold for $1500. That money made a nice healthy down payment on my house.

I sold some Pmags for $55 each just to demonstrate Capitalism to my kids. Also sold some other stuff, but I wish I had sold everything. I had just started a new job, and had to go away to training. Bad timing. |

The thing that blows my fucking mind is that there was a couple willing to do this. What the shit.

Imbel FAL kit I bought years ago for $100 and figured I was't going to build it up since good receivers dried up so I threw it up on gunbroker starting at $100. Sold for little over $800.

It would have been more annoying to me to try and sell them. The free green tip, I wish I had that now. |

LOF'nL at some of the responses.....
Just imagine some of the posters here who won't post here ....or better yet the ones that aren't here(AR15.com) and were buyin' |

1250 SS109 Projectiles for $500 (That so far has been my highest profit margin percentage sale)
|
|
I bought some Boeing stock at $74 per share right after some Dreamliner battery fires.
|
|
Not A panic market, but 05, 06 or so. I purchased 2000 rds of xm193 from an online retailer (Aim or Widners or such) for $189.00 per 1000.
They delivered 4000rds and charged me for all four. I ranted and raved for two days about how I was going to return all of it and never do business with them again. In the end I kept it all because it was a good deal, and I'm lazy. Wish they would have sent me 10,000 rds. |
|
I traded even up a ban era Colt Match Target I had $700 into for a cherry WW2 Remington Rand with the original DCM shipping box and packaging.
|
|
Bought 2 stripped lowers off the EE during the panic for $300. 1 was a New Frontier Armory polymer lower. Sold it on Gun broker for $300.
Bought a stripped upper for I think $90. Sold it on gun broker for $300. |

Traded a S&W M&P sport I bought new for $619 to a guy for a brand new $3500 car trailer. I wasn't a completed dick I threw in 6 mags.

PMAGS, a couple years ago during a panic. local LEO/MIL only shop had them stacked deep on the shelf. I would walk in buy a bunch then put them for sale here and other forums and sell them before I left the parking lot.

Bought a Colt 6920 right after the Denver theater shooting for $925, sold it for $2100 after Sandy Hook. Nice guy that I am, I paid for shipping to the buyers FFL.
Plus made money on all the other guns, mags and lowers I sold then as well. Was a good time to have that stuff on hand. |
