Nuh-uhh, I ain’t stupid.
It started when they overpaid at the gun show
That’s capitalism in action! People charge what the market can bear- ie. If seller (A) raises his prices, and no one buys then sellers B-Z know not to charge that much. BUT!!! If he finds someone willing to pay that price, then all the rest will raise their prices to both compete, and to make more money. The only way it’s price gouging is if there’s a run on a product, and the sellers jack their prices up 10-20 times the norm. Kinda like what happened at gas stations on 9/11/2001. Where I was at, a regular gallon of gas was around $1.25 at 0800 that morning. By lunch, prices were approaching $10.00 a gallon. People got in trouble for that crap, as they should have. But the prices of guns has been gradually increasing for the last 8 months. Not everyone took advantage of the new demand, but eventually they have to, as many manufacturers are damn sure gonna raise their prices. Whatever the market will bear, that’s their #1 rule to making money.

Dude wanted $800 for his g22 in trade yesterday
I saw on Fox 5 Atlanta news this morning a report about record gun sales happening this year while they scanned the camera across a couple Glocks in a gun store somewhere. It showed a Gen. 2 22 for $749 and a Gen. 3 33 for $999! Does the ODT own that store too?
