Not sure when this crap will end, but I'm am tired of the price gouging on everything. You know it's bad when someone is selling a Radical Firearms AR15 for $1000. Pssst!

The bad, it’s just began.

I expect nothing different for the next 4 years

No such thing as price gouging on guns and ammo. Supply and demand.

I haven't. Don't need to, but I used to like buying just because. I refuse to pay these prices. I think it's funny that people will pay those prices for low end AR's.

I grew up in the Mormon church and we have a parable about the Grasshopper and the Ant. In the parable the grasshopper died, in real life some people are willing to sell the grasshopper what he needs.

It is about planing ahead for hard times when times are good.

get over yourself, quit whining. it's only an asking price. you don't like it then move on.

if you don't like the price then learn to negotiate. the seller knows what they want for an item. it's your job to convince them on what they will take for it. i'm surprised how many people today do NOT have any negotiating skills.

A tremendous amount of credit goes to manufacturers and retailers who refuse to sell at the markup rates being asked by the street resellers.

I recently purchased a box of .22LR at Walmart for a price that breaks down to just 5 cents a shell. The street resellers are buying that same box and asking five times that price.

No one asked for you to be a prick. I'm simply speaking my mind. If you dont like it, you can pass the post up. I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks this way. Go away.

You should look up the word gouging. Educate yourself; information is knowledge!

I wonder if any of the people complaining about price gouging would sell me their house for what they paid for it.

In my particular instance I'm selling ammo that I've had for years to make up for all the ammo I've given away to my friends, family, and neighbor's.

I'm not really sure what you expect sellers to do. In good times, you sell a ton of product for small margins. There are fixed costs in a business. If you can't get product and there is a huge demand, you have to increase your margin to stay in business.

It'd not gouging, it's called Capitalism.

Some larger companies like Walmart or Academy sell a lot of different products to cover expenses. If you are in the gun business, you don't have that luxury.

I'm not in the gun business but I have a basic understanding of capitalism.
