Okay - dogleg in the conversation here.....we have gone from deciding what is moral to what is reputable and honorable.
Everyone please be super quite while the most reputable amongst us explains, in quite uncertain terms, how business 'should' be done.
And may he that has never sinned cast the first stone.
Ridicule as you please. Morals, honor, and reputation are one in the same. no dog leg here. I never said anything about being more reputable than anyone. I haven't stated any specific way that business should be done either, just that it is wrong and pretty low, in my opinion, when one is so evidently taking advantage of another. If you are going to chime in to be condescending, don't be afraid to add your thoughts on the subject so we all know where you stand.
I have had a couple of transactions with Texan2 and he is a great guy to deal with by all counts.
I understand what you are saying Kyle, I just don't agree with it. If buyers are willing to pay a certain price for an certain item, then that is the price. Crying because circumstance has altered what once WAS the price puzzles me.
The value of any item is exactly what someone is willing to pay. Currently the ammo market is somewhat of a bubble, one that is poised to burst. We have had the same thing happen in the precious metals market, the real estate market, the gun market and many other markets.
As stated already. The market is self correcting.
The price hasnt really changed though, if the vendors had price increases across the board, it's a non issue, because that is what the market is doing; but the vendor prices are still $x , while the flippers prices on the same product that they cleaned out from the vendor minutes earlier is $xx. Like I said, they have dried up the primary market and created a secondary market to line their pockets.
