Finding Armslist hilarious

12+ pages for the 19th alone! Something tells me, that the time everyone would be stuck with crap they overpaid for, is near. :lol:

I remember when there was one...maybe two pages per day. I can't believe what prices people are asking even for shotguns and revolvers...

It's funny. I see Glock mags for $80 and stripped lowers for $400.

I said it last week. I saw Colt LE6920 AR15 at a gunshop for 1329... At Bills it was 2079... And i saw them on armslist for 2000-2500... Someone is going to get stuck with something. And that's good. Sick of people who buy them only to think they are going to make money. What if that gun ends up in the wrong hands? I wonder if some of those people who are buying and reselling, even check for ptp/ptc? But, i give it a little while yet. When credit card bills come in and they are more than they can afford, you will see some awful cheap guns.

The downward slide has already begun -- GB and Armslist are the leading indicators.

Yes, you see a lot of stuff listed for high $$$ still...but how much is actually selling vs listed?
Nothing to see here. Continue swimming.

I have wondered that myself. I can't believe that much of it is still selling, especially with the AWB fizzling at the federal and state level here.

I hope that somebody out there bought a nice upper for an AR and won't be able to sell it for the inflated price and will get desperate to pay off the credit card.... preferably a .22 LR, 9mm ,or .300 BLK one. :lol:

I can dream, right?

Realistically though there was not a whole lot of "gotta sell this 'cuz I am in over my head" after the 2008 panic wore off. I am sure some stuff will be out there for the real enthusiasts to pick up at a reduced rate but my guess is that a lot of it will end up in the recesses of people's closets never again to see the light of day.

I think it's finally starting to subside as well, although I think we all know it's just one dumbass away from getting real bad again. That being said, I've managed to snag a couple Smith's from GB the last week for under $400 each.

During the panic I made out like a bandit on both my AR-15.
