Not a price RANT...

[lftd&pwrstrok'n]

I have been "collecting" S&W revolvers for a few years now. I have a few nice pieces, but nothing to brag about. But, the revolvers that I have been paying $500-$750 for are being listed for $900+. I am fully aware that the little nuances and limited runs and performance center guns are rarer and demand a higher price, but some of these appear to be the same revolver that I have.

Have they appreciated that much over the last year or two? Or is it the covid?

I bought the majority of them in the hopes of appreciated value, so I ain't mad about it

Looks like a good time to sell/sale/sail/cell.

Not true sir.

They've only increased in price due to price gouging sellers asking ridiculous amounts of money for them. If we could post comments in the sellers' ads pointing out how crazy their price was, we'd be able to warn off unsuspecting newb buyers and the prices would come back down. It's only because people don't know what's best for them that prices keep rising. I think I'll send Okuma an email and let him know about this price fixing going on by these flippers.

Just thought I'd give the Price Militant a break here since it's a holiday.

...Covid...china virus...pandemic...lack of TP...election...rioters....looters...militias...fear of Joe/Ho getting in...blame it on what you want, but anything that goes bang went up in value this year, big time!

They’re up, they’re down. It means nothing until the day you part with it. Depending on what someone is willing to pay you for it the day you sell it is all that matters.

It’s not just guns. Bought anything lately?
When the general public catches up with the idea of how much the dollar is devalued from the treasury printing presses running 24/7, those of us on fixed income are gonna be fudged.

It’s COVID and the upcoming election. Prices with normalize in 4-6 months depending on the election and the amount of “peaceful protests”
