That guy is a dealer, and has ordered tens of thousands of dollars from us. He paid an additional $250 to have a fair amount overnighted on Friday so he could have some inventory for a gunshow this past weekend. IE, we helped put food on his families table.
Just FYI for all those guys that are upset about missing out:
The more transparent we make deals, and the more we broadcast the availability, the quicker things go. PERIOD. So if you want us to advertise it really big and broad, then you're going to have an even harder time to get inventory. Can't have your cake and eat it too. If we had made a thread labeled "BCG's" would they have sold out in 45 minutes? 30 minutes?
Everyone is hard up for BCG's right now. That's across the industry. There is no way to feed the demand currently, from any supplier.
We'd rather see a dealer buy some to resell to put food on his table than to sell them to individual customers, honestly. The consumer is taking a beating now with high pricing, but dealers without inventory means many small businesses going under. We're much more efficient selling them a handful at a time, than one at a time.
If someone buys them to resell, then don't purchase them from them. Nobody has to buy them from us or anyone else. Consumers pick the price points they feel comfortable buying at, not dealers. The guy who buys them to resell has taken on risk. With that risk, he wants to make a profit, which is fair. However, he could end up getting stuck holding the bag too.
For those hard up for BCG's...just wait a while. We should be getting in some economically priced BCG's soon, in bulk.
400 BCG's sold in an hour, that weren't really marketed at all. Unfortunately, you can't please everyone.
We could jack the price up $50 to hedge demand though...
I just got notification that Cera-plated BCGs are available. It allowed me to add to cart, but I don't need one. Good luck!
Ditto.. feels like I'm tryin to catch a unicorn.. I will catch it eventually with patience and persistence. I think Joebobs is the only place I've seen them come in without being extremely gouged. I understand demand and availability drive up prices, and joebob in the past and even now has the most fair & reasonable pricing I've found.I am always missing the BCG's
Joebob, you are RIDICULOUS! I just ordered those BCG's a few days ago and they will be delivered tomorrow. Outstanding!
By the time I got the e-mail notification they were gone. Not that I Neeeed another AR but I definitely want a MOE LE version.
No worries JoeBob! I'll get one when the time is right.
BTW, a good friend of mine in West Virginia is very pleased with the service you've provided. Thanks for rockin'.
I did the same last night. I was sitting at the computer when the email came in. I clicked the link and they were gone.
Meh, is what it is. I'm glad JB is making money but I bet he wishes he had more product to sell.
This is exactly what I'm doing too. I just ordered a lower from JoeBob and it's been shipped. I plan on stashing it in the safe until things calm down a bit before starting my build. I figure, if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it right.
Sorry dude. We only got in 40 of each 16" upper and they sold out within 15 minutes. We are trying to avoid giving any advance notification to anyone because then it causes even more "hype" and then everyone gangbangs them at the same time, and they sell out even faster.
We'll try to post up on here next time, hopefully we'll get more in soon.
