philasteen Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 The bullet holes are not mine . . . that's Pop range near Ft. Lauderdale . . . if anyone has been there you can understand, or for that matter, you can see from that photo, why I only shoot there when it's empty. There is some truly scary gun handling that goes on there. OT, but that MAG is a dream to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIONHART Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Certainly nothing wrong with finding a good deal. Many of us here have stumbled across good finds in the past. I being one of them. However, it's a different manner when a DEALER outright lies to a seller proclaiming his Firearms are only worth the amount said Dealer is willing to pay. That's nothing short of Stealing in my mind. However, if it wasn't for the GREED in our Hobby, those Thompson would be priced right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Where does this "greed" emanate from? In this case, it was not some pernicious "dealer" who set some outlandishly high price for these TSMG items. Were those who responded to the brief Sturmgewehr ad, by offering to buy at the seller's posted prices, greedy in that their motives were to resell at inflated prices? Or were those who responded to the ad with twice the lump sum than was set for each individual piece greedy? Perhaps the pinnacle of "greed" is that practiced by those, whom Devlin described as, "DEALERS who outright lie to a seller proclaiming his Firearms are only worth the amount said Dealer is willing to pay." But I wouldn't hesitate to ad private parties to that particular group who also have no compunction about preying on uninformed sellers. Now that is not an indictment against being a savvy buyer, but to suggest that NFA deals transacted outside of the Internet are more representative of true market values is absurd. The major skewed factor that seems to differentiate the prices of a word of mouth deal and an internet deal are the number of people alerted to the sale. Those who describe incredible scores on NFA items that are transacted in private may, or may not, be on the level. There is no way to determine the validity of the tale. But one thing we know for sure about this Sturmgewehr ad is that, even for the fraction of time the ad was active, there was no shortage of folks who would fall over themselves to offer more than the "private party" type sale would generate, if in the "PP" sale there were more than one interested buyer involved in a deal with a clueless seller.
