Posted: 10/29/2013 10:33:52 AM EDT

A co-worker of mine paid in excess of $2200 for what was essentially a Del-Ton kit rifle....I have heard a couple of high price horror stories some that seem hard to believe but who knows...

Some guy here sold some AR's for $10K each to some rich dude in CT, IIRC.

I remember. Wasn't it something like 4 Colt 6920s? He finally posted pics of the pile of cash.

Here in NY it got insane, a friend of a friend paid just over 9k for a pair of Windham Arms Ar15's.

I feel bad for the guy that bought my $400 Spikes BCG.

On gunbroker alot of Bushmaster Carbon 15 rifles were sold for 1800+.

Posted: 10/29/2013 10:40:48 AM EDT

I paid $22/ea for a handful of M2 pmags
Our panic was justified though so I'm not unhappy

My friend sold a NIB Colt 6940 for $3500. He purchased it for $1400.

I sold 20 Pmags for $50 each. I bought them for $10 each plus free shipping from Brownell's just 2 weeks before the mayhem. I also sold a case of CCI mini mags for 5 times what I bought them for.

Posted: 10/29/2013 10:43:15 AM EDT

3 SCAR 17 mags for 375.

He sold them in Texas, I believe.

A few people I know paid $99 for EACH Pmag they bought. They just couldn't wait...... My order from DSG came to my door 2 weeks after theirs finally came in.

I didn't did so bad; i bought too much ammo, that's for sure. I definitely bought more than I needed to thinking there would be several months of dry spell. I paid $17 per box for 9mm at some point i'm sure. I paid $519 for a G26 that I could have bought 90 days prior for $467 shipped from an online retailer.

That said, I did manage to sell my SUB 2000 for $300 more than I paid.

I know someone that sold 9 lower receivers, purchased at $85 each for $300 each. In a manner similar to a gambling addict, he promptly spent the cash, and then some, on more guns and ammo.

Was it federal bulk? Or a box of 50 rem Goldens?

Saw a Sig M400 going for $2500.

Posted: 10/29/2013 10:52:07 AM EDT

I saw an ad for those rubber pull doohickies that slip onto the bottoms of magazines. $50 for 2 and it sold.

$100 pmags

Non existent BCGs. If you found one on the EE it was a worn out non C158 for $350+

Posted: 10/29/2013 10:53:47 AM EDT

[#26]

1.75 a round imported m855 It still had the sub 125 a case sticker on the cases

Posted: 10/29/2013 10:53:48 AM EDT

[#27]

I paid $.50 per round for IMI M855

But the real tragedy is I didn't sell everything. I started the year with well over 50k rounds of ammo and too many guns. Doh!

Posted: 10/29/2013 10:57:51 AM EDT

[#28]

I am ashamed to admit that I bought 30 Pmags for a stupid price of $10 each when before the panic I probably could have gotten them for $9 each shipped. Stupid panic buy.

Posted: 10/29/2013 10:59:17 AM EDT

[#29]

Anything on cheaper than dirt. Including the $100 pmags.

I sold a DPMS franken-gun that I had put together from $400 worth of used parts to a dealer at a gun show in January. He paid me $1600, pretty pathetic. I have no regrets.

Posted: 10/29/2013 11:02:15 AM EDT

[#31]

I know of one guy who paid $1400 for 40 PMAGS on gunbroker. I know because I sold them. Funny this is that he wasn't even from a state that was in any danger of them being banned.

Posted: 10/29/2013 11:02:19 AM EDT

[#32]

Someone posted the link of an auction on gunbroker.com where a box of 100 pmags went for just under $7500.

Some member on here sold 4 6920's for 10K a pop.

Anyone that bought from CTD this year.

I sold a Spikes upper receiver, just the upper for $400 on Gunbroker just after the panic.

I'm still kicking myself for not selling 5.56 for $1+/rd. Could have replaced the ammo and added several nice guns.

Posted: 10/29/2013 11:05:01 AM EDT

[#38]

I prepared well in advance, therefore, I bought nothing at those ridiculous prices.

I did sell quite a few things to those less prepared and in full-on panic mode.

Those things sold, have now been replaced for much less that I originally purchased the first time around.

You all know the saying, "Buy Cheap and Pile Deep." Get busy.

I heard bullpup rifles like the Steyr AUG A3 and the FN FS2000 were going for $5,000 - $9,000 each.

A coworker paid $2,500.00 for a Bushmaster Patrolman at a gun show just before things went full retard. I tried to tell him I could find a different brand for around 1200.he kept saying "I wanted a Bushmaster, that's the rifle they are going to ban".

He also picked up 500 rounds of ammo for it. I was afraid to ask about that.

I've been looking, but Google is failing me. I seem to remember he posted a pic of the cash.

$40 for a bag of buffalo jerky at the gun show.

Case of gen 3 pmags for $7500.

Posted: 10/29/2013 11:22:36 AM EDT

[#46]

I overpaid for PMags. Bought 20 at $10 each.

I also bought a Bushy for something like $900.

I still kick myself.

I sold a couple 3-packs of PMAGs for $100/3.

I sold off some Gen I and Gen II pmags and started all auctions at .01. I never got over 65.00 each for 5.56x45 (sold in lots of 5) from anyone who actually paid. I did sell 20 of my 7.62x51 Pmags, a couple went over 100.00 ea.

HK P7M8's were selling for $3200 on Gunbroker.
I never saw any bans on them discussed anywhere. I did pull that pistol out of my wife's purse and gave her a G19 to carry instead. No way was I going to risk her losing a 3K gun.

Posted: 10/29/2013 11:32:05 AM EDT

[#50]

I sold 2 FDE 20 rd Pmag's for $45 a piece. Guy was stoked he got 2 for 90.

A fool and his money.
