Gunner75 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 supply and demand plays some into it yes, but going 800 over what they originally go for is pushing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act as if there's no such thing as bargaining or negotiation. Are you never going to counter offer anything ever in your life whether you are buying or selling? You only break even or take a loss on anything you do and never try to gain?Maybe I'd rather sell to a "fellow rider" than some unknown on craigslists not knowing if they have ill intentions?Maybe a "fellow rider" would rather buy from another "fellow rider".Yeah, so this is not a place to take advantage of "fellow riders" but open to lynching and criticism.

sonavabeech Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 ...and please, anyone, let me know when you want to sell your motorcycle for free.

You want a "reasonable" offer I wil give you $900 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonavabeech Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Nevermind as long as your ok with you asking price. You want a "reasonable" offer I wil give you $900 for it.I don't have to be "ok" with my asking price. I just have to be content with any offer I accept.I probably would have considered your "reasonable" offer if you didn't make your first impression on me as being a pompous ass.I do take into consideration the hands in which I may pass a firearm. There's no dollar amount high enough for me to put a gun into the hands of an asshole...not that I'm calling you one. Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Likewise, some of us have a policy not to buy from jerks at any price. Good luck with your sale, but there will be no offer from me. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your sale, but there will be no offer from me. Next.Not that you're implying that I'm a jerk, but if you were, it seems this is a place where fellow riders can gang up on each other and it's ok but defending yourself isn't and it makes you a jerk. I forget how the world works sometimes. Thanks for the reminder of how quick people are to judge.So much for a place where fellow riders can come together with any common interests...It seems this place is no better than a elementary school play yard.Just another place where, if something or someone is not in your favor or does not benefit you, just shit on it.Does the asking price make you assume I am a greedy person trying to take advantage of someone? What if I was trying to make money to take care of my family? What if I was trying to put food on the table or keep the roof over our heads? Yeah, I know, not your problem. I wonder how may of you would have stepped up and said I could get more if I had asked for less? Probably none, just a line to be first to take advantage of an uninformed seller I'm sure.

max power Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I bought an LC 9 from sonofabeech and found her to be nice and easy to deal with and the price was fair. That being said, the reason people here are upset with you is that no one appreciates anyone attempting to gouge fellow forum members on a firearm. Being a smart ass about it isn't helping your cause. Everyone is sick of gun enthusiasts trying to take advantage of each other. It is greed, pure and simple. If you want to attempt to get $1700 out of a $1200 gun, post it to CL first. If it doesn't sell there and you still need to put food on the table with it, post it here for a reasonable price, make a reasonable profit and no worries.

smccrory Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 We're trying to clue you in - pay attention or don't, I don't care. It's not mainly your asking price, it's your jerky attitude about your asking price. "Supply and demand, bitch!" says it all. Sit on that for a moment and you just may start to understand.If you're able to gouge a fellow human who's in panicked buying mode, then by all means try it but don't expect any warmer of a reaction from regular traders than we'd give a gas station or a grocer charging $10/gal for fuel or milk in a crisis. Walmart knows this and so does Cabella's - they're perpetually sold out because their prices are still at pre-crisis levels to avoid sullying their brand and generating a backlash from consumers. I bet they'll profit far more in the long run from us after the panic buying is over.YOU sir have shown your character and sullied your brand by looking for a quick buck in a "crisis" and being a dick about your reasoning. It shows that you were fully aware (and didn't care) about the long-term consequences of your identity/brand on this board and yet somehow now you're getting sore about OUR reactions. Perhaps you miscalculated the culture of this board, you didn't care, or you saw fringy dialogue from some members and thought it would be a great place to quickly profit from your supply and their demand.You made your bed... I'd recommend shifting your time and attention to gunbroker.com before the demand shifts back to normal and the supply of no-longer-endangered ARs returns. You don't have a lot if time...

C-bus Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 If you watch armslist for a couple days, you can have a good idea of pricing. KSGs are going for around $1k, AKs now around $700-$900, and ARs about $1100. Anything over that tend to sit for a while. FFF had a wall of ARs all in the $1k-$1200 price point yesterday. I appreciated your sense of humor early on, but one can only take so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
