Thread for excessive prices

[703CamaroSS]

Iv been calling around looking for a colt le6920 and everywhere is sold out. I called both nova fire arms and sterling arsenal and both told me they are expecting more but their going for 3000!!! They use to be 1150 like a week ago.

Much like a kidney stone, this too shall pass. Once the gun grabbers realize that they've lost this round, gun prices will return to something closer to normal.

How long that's going to take is anyone's guess.

If the prices stay high it will encourage people with multiple weapons to sell a few off for the money, increasing the supply. Plus the manufacutres will continue pumping out guns until a new law passes or demeand slacks off. What is less likely is them spending money on line expansion. It is one thing to run the line flat out, another to dump a lot of money into a new line that may have to be be shut down due to the whim of congress. Even at the higher prices it takes a while to pay off the capitol costs of setting up new manufacturing equipment.

The high mag prices has me looking to sell off some of them, understanding of course that if such ban were passed that I need a reasonable supply for myself. Without the high price I would never sell them.

You can still get an SR-15 for $2300 at NOVA Armament. Pre-order it and you'll get it in about a month.

The supply response to high prices is already showing up. There have been a bunch of ARs sold on vaguntrader and more posted in the last few days, much more than usual.

Hoping this eases up a bit in a month or two. I was looking to buy a remington 870, a karr cm9, and a .22 plinker of some sort. I know those ae not the guns that are going gang busters but still I am sure they are getting hit up too. Maybe if we have enough funding we will get the high point 9mm carbine.....don't see a need for much else right now.

There are a bunch of people complaining about the prices on vaguntrader, but you are correct. Without the high prices the sellers would simply not release the product. Stock is basically non-existent and its possible it never will be if the ban goes through, why in the world would anyone agree to sell mags/firearms at the "normal" prices?

That SR-15 is a nice piece but that's way more then I'm looking to spend. I was looking 1000-1300. I guess I picked a bad time to go AR shopping lol.

I am guessing that by late Spring and a round of defeats for the ultra left wing that prices will start to go down again. Maybe by mid Summer prices will return to normal. I hope I am right but I am willing to wait on the sidelines until prices go down.

If you have a c&r prices havent changed at all, ditto for the ammo for those kinds of guns.

Cheaper Than Gold...the price was $499 just over a month ago when I went with Ammoman for less...

Yea a buck a round for 5.56 is crazy...but that Arsenal AK in the second link for $2700 is frickin insane.

Hey, they have a post-ban Bushy for only $1800! Yes, the prices are high and for those of us who already own a bunch of stuff, we won't be paying it. However, if you want one and seriously believe they will ban it soon, $2700 might not look so crazy. Even at these high prices, some are being sold.
