and the Hotel has an amazing brunch buffet.  Champagne as a matter of fact.  Yeah it's stupid expensive, but you're going to buy ammo, so what the hell.

Yeah, and they weren't even discounting snowballs......

There was certainly an overabundance of greed though. Ex. lower receivers $195.
Prices seemed maked up $50 + since the Bloomington show two weeks ago.

Get em while you can !!!

I'll tell you what, I have a funny feeling that this "panic" is a little bit premature..... Not that I don't believe there are certain elements that would love to see a full AWB put in place, but I have a feeling the plate is a little full right now and so that is going to take a back burner (FOR NOW).

That being said, I would like to encourage all my fellow shooters (In the strongest terms possible) to keep a short list of those dealers that engaged in price gouging.

Eventually supply will catch up with demand and I for one would love to see all these dealers stuck with stockpiles of stuff.

Just my humble $.02

The best one today that gave me a laugh was the guy selling the RRA lower striped reciever USED for $300!!

There was a dealer there from Colona with all RRA stuff that had good prices and even some blemish stuff fairly cheap.

Lots more AR stuff than the Bloomington show a few weeks ago. As always though I didn't buy anything

I will say that the guy from Colona (Hilltop) has kept his pricing down and has not engaged in the price gouging that seems to be so prevalent in these post election days.
