I feel good whenever I see that guy's $1,500 Mini, because I bought a lightly-used one from Lou back in January for $700.

Free markets all well and good, but it depends on an informed consumer to function properly.
I make no effort to crap on classifieds by going out of my way to point out better deals as I feel it's the buyers responsibility to research what they are about to buy. However, if I notice a seller that is asking a silly price and is continuously relisting to get their ad put at the top of the classifieds, well I'm going to be sure that everyone knows where to go for a better price. Why, not only are they wasting my time by having another dupe ad, but they are disrespecting every other user of this board, and that's no bueno.
If some dummy wants to panic and buy a mini-14 for 1,500 that's great. That's 500 dollars less he has to spend on ammo. Same goes to the guys who are buying 3-500 dollar lowers, go to town and blow all your money ASAP do we can get over this craze. However, I don't like it when my market priced (read 48 hour GB completed auction avg), items get pushed to page two super quick because of relisters and so I'll put them on blast.

i feel the same way. i got a mini from lou for less than you paid about a year ago.
I agree bumping the overpriced stuff is where it starts to get annoying
Anyone else waiting for the firearm and firearm parts bubble to burst?.
We make money on turnover. We'd much rather sell the same SKU 50 times and make 50 customers, than make a single high-profit sale. That's retail though.
Someone selling a single item makes money on a single sale, whether it be his house, his car, or a firearm.
An item is worth only what someone will PAY, not what someone ASKS. Buy the less expensive new goods from us, and let that guy waste his time talking to tire kickers.
I got lucky some weeks back when an angel here noted a GB auction with one for $750 which I snagged. I've been overpaying for factory 20 rounders ever since.
I see your dick move and raise you THIS dick move. I really love this move, kinda tired of the classifieds lately. I typically dont care it's capitalism at it's best, but it's been stupid over the last 3 months.
Thanks. Visited http://shopruger.com/ and ordered a few.
