People were paying Thousands over list for Harley's few years ago.

If they'll pay for it, sell it. No problem

Compare apples and oranges

Everybody wants apples. For every apple I get to sell, I have to buy 30-40 oranges that don't sell as well. I have to beg and plead for every apple.

I pay 60 cents for an apple

Should I sell the apple for 75 cents so the buyer can run it home and sell it on FruitBroker for 1.50?

Or should I sell it myself for a buck and make one of my own customers, (the guy that actually intends to eat the apple), happy?

What would you do?

This analogy would make a lot more sense to most of us here if you used bacon and ham instead of apples and oranges...

You lost me at bacon. heading upstairs to the fridge now. I wonder what bacon wrapped apples would taste like smoked with applewood? :D

I think this stuff is kinda hilarious. In all reality just don't buy it. I own no ARs... Let's say SHTF in a few years, I feel pretty good having a couple of large pistols and a shotgun. These posts on here showing rip offs are kinda getting old. I get it... O no, what if you can't buy them in the future!!! Well that's a gamble to take. Either way, let the market settle. Everyone knows by now that you are going to pay a premium. Even before this madness I could walk into a Honker Hill and give you multiple examples of rip offs, especially on guns.
