New Panic...This Time It's A Sell-off!

[Spanky46151]

Noticing the prices dropping quickly on "assault" weaponry & accessories. Looks like lots of "investors" will be taking a fiscal bath shortly.

im good with that...I didnt buy durring the insanity. People looking to make a quick buck and even RAPE them with prices deserve to loose money.

It should come as little surprise that when prices go through the roof over an artificial scarcity caused by an unsustainable spike in demand that prices will come back down, unless, or course, something happens to make artificial scarcity permanent (i.e., a ban).

IF anyone is selling at 'discounted' prices now, it's probably folks who bought before the panic, and are trying to realize some modest gain before sanity rules again.

It's still too early in the game for the speculators to cash out, methinks, although the withholding 'present' from the Prez may have some thinking twice about liquidity.

I agree that it is a little too early for them to cash out. The credit card bills are just now coming in. I am pretty sure the OP was just kidding b/c I haven't noticed any price drop from private sellers, LGS, or any inventory in the chain stores.

Last gun show I was informed of had prices X2 from reality. The nuts are still in control.
At least for now.

Received an email alert from CTD this morning that they had restocked their bulk .223 ammo (quantity="plenty") and were selling it for the low, low price of $999.99 for 1,000 rounds.

Thanks guys, but I think I will pass - or wait a little longer and purchase from someone else at a reasonable price.

The CTD flyer I received in snail mail yesterday listed bulk American Eagle .223 for $399/1000 and Lake City $599/1000. I'm not a CTD fan but it did look like prices are receding a bit.

I have noticed that uppers are again listed on a few web sites along with barrels etc as "in stock items". However at Brownells, when you look at the uppers they say it will be shipped direct from the manufacturer with a 180 day lead time. I did see .223 bullets in stock at a few places. Haven't found any 62 gr "pulls" yet.

I'll be happy to take a few out of the hands of the panic buyers when the prices fall.

I believe that the prices are coming down and staying down for a minute. The AWB bill hasn't even been brought to the floor yet. Once they have voted it up or down, I will draw my conclusions then. For some younger people this is their first round of panic buying and I hope they learn from it. For others it's a time to reflect and refine our current stocks of inventory.

Personally I thought I was good on 10-22 mags and by many peoples standards I am, but once they become available at reasonable prices again I'm going to buy another half dozen, along with some extra glock mags. As opimistic as I want to be, the prices aren't going to be coming down and staying down for a long time.

"... make artificial scarcity permanent ..."

Yup, Feinstein's fury, frenzy and ficked-uppedness is gonna result in a full-out ban, of everything that has ever been registered. Maybe there'll be a Grandfather clause to bring stuff up out of closets, but The Gun Ban is coming. IMHO. " μολὼν λαβέ! & dead cold hands " come in here somewhere. Also, "Get your damned tank off my lawn!"

This too shall pass. Just hold tight guys and prices will come back down. I still can't find .223 locally, and when they do get a few boxes in, it's gone in a flash at usually $1 per shot of cheap Rem. which should be $0.40. Thanks, but no thanks, I'll pass and bide my time.

 

[TWS]

Just until the next round of rumors, but I am starting to see a price drop... thank goodness!

Too late, I sold my Shield in 6 minutes last night.

There was some on gunbroker yesterday, didn't pay attention to the price and wouldn't know what a good price is for them anyway.

 

[Indianavette]

Let me know if you find G19 15 rd mags in Indy. Still looking
