I may have to pick up a couple more at the lower prices

Saw a Bushmaster this morning at Cabela's in the 700 range.

Assembled AR's are plentiful but piecing one together is still very difficult (if you want quality)

Is the sky not falling anymore???

We all knew this was coming.... And have all that money we didn't spend on panic prizes waiting around to jump... I've already picked up a few things.

While the market for AR and semi auto type stuff skyrocketed single shot used stuff didn't have the same high demand (TC, H&R, even bolt actions) had their prices plummet during the scare... Simply because everybody was spending their money trying to buy P mags, and AR's....

So if you were trying to sell a contender, encore, handi rifle, or a bolt action during the craze it set for quite a while until somone like me came in with a normally low ball offer you were happy to get since you've had zero interest in 2 months.

Every cloud has its silver lining. you just gotta know where to look.

Never was, but you couldn't tell that around here. They had to create another sub section just for this reason

It's a good thought process, but I think the logic is a bit flawed, or at least premature. Nick makes a lot of good points in his story. But I don't think we are "there" yet with the panic buyers selling for rock bottom prices to "pay off credit cards". I think it's going to get there eventually, but right now I'm still seeing a lot of very inflated prices from people who are trying to avoid losing 50% (or more) of their "investment".

They bought a $700 rifle for $1400, and they never fired it, so it's "Brand New!". Some aren't willing to see that you can now get a brand new one like theirs for the original $700, and some others even get very ticked off when you point out those facts.

All the best,

Thanks for the link. This was going to happen eventually.
I have not bought any guns during all this but will buy more if prices drop.
It will not be with just ARs too.
There will be more legislative attempts and when so it will repeat.

youll notice the ones that bought them for sky high prices are mainly very very new and uneducated in gun stuff. they will figure out real quick they are gonna taking a raping when they sell it, whether they get mad or not lol. or they could just hold onto it till the next election hahahaha. i cant imagine the thought process of someone who would max out a credit card to buy guns.... heck i dont even have a credit card!! no cash no play!!

[Bayouboy]

Love it!

Immediate satisfaction is all they have on their minds. I know... I used to be one of them. When I figured out a credit card was nothing more than a plastic passport to poverty (about 14 years ago), I quit using them. Most people don't realize how much money they are giving to the credit card company for that instant satisfaction. I'm much happier now, even if I do have to wait for something I really want.

I love credit cards! You pay the credit card companies nothing if you pay them off every month. I will agree though when I was younger I have them a ton of money and it was the stupidest thing I could have ever done.

I put 50K a year on my Cableas card. Haven't paid any interest in years.
