Let the seller offer them for a Bazillion dollars, and I have zero fucks to give. Why does OP care?

I love seeing used optics that I can buy for $25 cheaper new on Amazon with prime.

But that is part of it. You have to weed throught the overpriced stuff to find a deal or two.

You know, with a full auto BCG all you have to do is file the sear and firing pin and you've got an M16.

Because when he is not looking over his neighbors fence he check up on the ee to make sure people aren't charging too much.  It's what the op does. He is a white knight here to rescue us.

Yep, I just laugh and think "good luck with that" as I keep cruising through the EE.

Honestly, I'm all about using an HP/MPI product when the TDP calls for it.  I assume some of that price is brand recognition, and the rest is what the market has decided.

Before I say anything else I am going to put this out there, I love capitalism and commenting on prices does not make you a dirty commie. Saying you should only pay 50 bucks for a Colt BCG because you make minimum wage while the guy making 100K a year should pay full price makes you a dirty commie.

Now on to my comment - items being sold for reasonable prices are rare on the EE these days, great deals are even rarer.

To me unless something is rare a item that is used should be at least 25% off of retail, maybe more depending on condition. A new item at least 10% off of retail, I say this because what is a few bucks when you are giving up the ability to return the item, swap the item out if it arrives DOA/damaged or really have any recourse other than the goodwill of the seller and the mods on the forum. That being said, anyone can price it at whatever they want, but expect not to sell it and have other members commenting on it.

I personally think that threads pointing out what are good deals and what are not (without calling out specific ads) might even be useful by helping new members get a feel for what are good deals and what are not.

This. OP has no life to give so much fuck about what a guy prices it for? If it's overpriced, it won't sell and he'll sit on it or drop the price.

OP, DON'T BUY IT. There, that was easy.

You guys are acting like the OP just swore personal allegiance to Hillary Clinton or is burning children at the stake or something.

People start deals threads (below retail or market value) all the time, whats wrong with a thread pointing out prices above retail or market value for items?

I get why arfcom doesn't allow ad stomping, but I think the EE could be improved if we were allowed to link to like items if they were available elsewhere for less.  No comments, just a link.  It might bring some sanity back to the EE.

It would get out of hand.  I always ask more for my parts knowing guys will try to negotiate. Just how it works.
Don't give your cheapest price from the get go unless you are looking for a quick sell.

I'd also like to inform everyone that LaRue rifles are caught up so they can stop charging over MSRP on the EE for them.
