Title: Would you like fries with that 1911?
Post by: oldfart on April 13, 2020, 09:34:44 AM
BATF allows drive up gun sales. Our local shops should do that.
Hire some out-of-work Hooters girls to go out to the cars.
Maybe allow drive up drive up gun permits and registrations too.
Liberal Democrat heads would be exploding in outrage.

Well, local liquor commish is allowing pickup sales of alcohol.  I've "benefitted" from that a few times already.  The growlers with local breweries are also getting quite (or more) popular.

That's cause you are gouging people on prices for ammo. You afford to pay 10x that amount.

People have the right to do with their money as they see fit. 

Whatsamatta noob?  Feeling righteous indignation?  Holier than thou?  Where's your stuff for sale, or ain't you got nutin' worth buying?  Smile when you talk about people you don't even know  :D  See, that wasn't so hard to do.

Might I recommend taking that money you obviously are not going to be using for ammo and put it toward some self-help materials to improve your negotiating skills?

I'm pretty sure you're not doing it right.   :geekdanc:

Eh, JC.

I have a Marlin XL7 with custom Boyd’s stock in 30-06 and ammo for it I can let you have for a reasonable price.
mark up on the ammo I guess.  :rofl: :rofl:
(I have a feeling that’s just going to be a running joke for all the folks who know you just because of the other knucklehead comments. Maybe I have a sick sense of humor because I think it’s funnier than sh!+  :D :shaka:)

For you, I’ll even do it drive thru.
But I won’t wear the Hooters shorts.

It's only gouging if he keeps all the money and doesn't share his cigars. :rofl:

But seriously, I have not noticed his items priced outrageously high.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't read everything that people post up.

I'm just trying to sweet talk you out of a nice arturo fuente or similar overpriced cigar.
I prefer maduro wrapper.

Seriously, though.  If JC or anybody wants to buy a bunch of guns and ammo during "normal" times, then sell them for more than whatever the "normal" price WAS (past tense) during a panic, that's HIS investment and HIS prerogative.

Nobody is required to sell anything when there's a shortage.  RETAIL prices increase due to high demand and low supply.  That's called "a free market". Private sales are not retail.  Sometimes you get a good deal, and other times the seller is asking more than you think the item is worth.  Both are free to accept OR REJECT the asking price/counter-offer.

If the buyer didn't plan ahead and buy at "normal" prices, that's nobody's fault but his own.  Nobody is entitled to guns or ammo at "normal" prices from the ones who paid full retail months or years ago.  You don't have a gun to your head forcing you to buy anything.  If you don't like the price, move on and look elsewhere.  Or you can try to negotiate a price or trade that better suits you.  Insults and attempts at shaming are not going to get the price lowered.  It'll probably just ensure you NEVER get ANYTHING from ANYONE at ANY PRICE in the classifieds.  Nobody wants to deal with an entitled brat.

Just my opinion.  I could be wrong, but I'm usually not.   :geekdanc:
