Bumpstock Price Gouging

Darkemp · Oct 8, 2017

This is all very familiar territory. What did the price of lowers go to on and after 12/14/12? Now they're right back to where they were before that. Fight any change to gun laws, and Slide Fire's will be cheap again someday also.

Supply meets Demand.

Private Property is essential to Liberty.

One should be able to charge whatever they want for their labor, physical property, intellectual property. If one asks "too much" for somwething and someone agrees, then it was not "too much".

This. Exactly. Capitalism is still the greatest economic system in the world.

I think I'll go into the 80% Bumpfire business.

Might have better luck on Gunbroker/Armslist.

Family fornication...first

j_h_smith · Oct 8, 2017

I've decided to hold on to my last one. I'm a little intrigued as to what's going to come down the pike.

Was bound to happen eventually.

Honestly, I'm surprised he's only asking 7. The profit potential is much higher if he'd list it elsewhere.

Personally, I try not list anything here that I'm not willing to take a loss on.

I'm willing to bet that this low-hanging fruit is going to get plucked.

To each their own, but if there's a buyer willing to just fork over that type of money, someone's going to be more than willing to make that sale. Might as well make the sale, clear out some storage space.

**If nothing happens, the pricing will bottom out again, and you're not really out anything.

Yeah, I was think I'd sell for $1500, but Gun Broker changed their minds again and are now allowing them to be sold. When I sold my first one, the sellers were putting a Buy It Now Price on a 1 day auction and it would be a safe bet yours would sell in less than an hour. Now that they can go on for the entirety of the auction timeframe, it seems the prices have come down a bit.

I've $90 into mine. I won't lose much if they ban them. But I'm thinking I'll just wait and see what happens. One never knows.....

Firearms instructor who hasn't posted in over three years decides to show up to sell one at 4x last week's value.

Can't say I'm surprised.

The people who bought these things are seeing a chance to make some good money, can't say I wouldn't be doing the same if I had 1 or 2 to sell. If people weren't in such a rush to try and snag one - the market wouldn't support those types of asking prices.

*I can say I wouldn't be doing it on this forum, the majority here are too educated, and I honestly wouldn't want to lose what little credibility/respect I have here.

You only need to find one buyer...and there seem to be plenty of anxious buyers with money burning holes in their pockets.

The chance of that stock selling on MDS for that price is 0%. Seller should be listing it on GunBroker.

Check.

The other put off for me was a name I don't EVER recollect seeing, selling it.

Meh. Not really an issue other than to note it and move on.

I ain't in the market. Never was. Never will be.

Oh yeah, and I'm a cheapskate.

Remember the old saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted.". Well, there is one born every minute! :beer:

Is there a list of the states that prohibit the sale of bump/slide stocks or is CA generally considered to be the only one? One doesn't want to go afoul of the law.

Can ads placed in Classifieds be canceled at anytime, if the Seller changes his mind?

Hippy · Oct 9, 2017

I ordered 3 from Bump Fire when the Vegas tragedy was announced @ $99.00 each + shipping
I did see where they are no longer taking orders

There is, I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: Here is a story that talks about them. In the article, you will see the areas that prohibit them or anything that increases the rate of fire.
