 Unfortunately I can, prices have gone totally stupid.  I have more than one customer buy Ar 15's for the ridiculous price of $2500.00 [ for a colt 6920 Le model]. Unfortunately that's how capitalism works . Right now demand is high ,supply low and prices stupid, but they will continue until supply catches back up or demand drops off. I just finished that Sks in the SG works bullpup stock the other day. It was built for my family . I have already had 6 offers on it that exceeded what I spent on it. I did not sell it because right now I can not even order more sks's. I did have another Chinese sks already cerakoted hanging on the wall waiting on a wood stock to be refinished. Well I sold that one and ordered another SG works bullpup stock kit and have already been paid in full by the customer. People are in a panic buying stage and want whatever they can get their hands on. Now I want more 18 round spo1 mags and nobody has them . I can only backorder and hope that at some point I get some.

I saw a single 16 round P07 magazine on GB and the bid was over $100.  I suppose if you believe that "hi caps" will be grandfathered then I suppose you have to make the decision on how much one is actually worth to you.  Knowing that this magazine capacity ban won't do a thing to prevent crime just makes all of this very sad.

I can believe it, everyone is trying to cash in. You see it on this forums classifieds as well. People are paying double for rifles that a few months ago they would have scoffed at a $600 dollar price tag on.

I'm all about free enterprise and capitalism, but if I catch any members here price gouging in the classifieds they will be gone PDQ. Making a profit is fine, but there are limits. If people here want to inflate their prices to ridiculous levels to take advantage of the current situation, there are plenty of places to do it, but this isn't one of them.

You're right, I misunderstood the pricing on one of the classifieds that brought on that comment. Prices have been pretty fair on here, I got a pretty good deal on some CZ-75 compact mags, especially judging by those Gunbroker ads.

Have you seen the people on Armslist that are buying all the ammo they can just to sell it for twice the price?
I have started flagging those posts as overpriced.
This needs to stop.
