Sks panic sales

[u/AHangryBeaver]

Anybody notice that since the incident in Montreal, Sks prices on gun post have dropped by a few hundred bucks?

Seems to be a panic selling spree going on.

[u/iNeedAdivorce]

I don't see Carney wasting precious political capital here. The media has moved on. The kid was a nut.

I could be wrong.

[u/yummybunnybear → u/iNeedAdivorce]

This incident is not one that the government wants to dwell on, seeing that a police officer shot a civilian and it's on video. You know those bureaucrats are all connected at the top.

[u/bosnanic → u/yummybunnybear]

When the civilian death ratio is 1:1 between a deranged gunman and the police it's not a good look. Memory holed just like Tumbler Ridge.

[u/China_bot42069 → u/yummybunnybear]

I wonder if the civilian was a firehall 

[u/mechant_papa → u/China_bot42069]

No. And she wasn't a mountie

[u/Agent_1812 → u/mechant_papa]

we need to ban mountie on mountie violence, maybe take their guns away

[u/black_covfefe_please → u/China_bot42069]

The civilian was a Rabbi.

[u/Tall_Insect9784 → u/yummybunnybear]

And the kid was an incel leftie communist, not a separatist right kid. They’ll want to bury this one fast

[u/DoorNational5903 → u/yummybunnybear]

They should ban glocks :)

[u/Ok-Yogurt-42 → u/yummybunnybear]

It's one of those incidents that at least some part of it makes every faction look bad, so most people are incentivised to sweep it under the rug.

[u/Reelair → u/iNeedAdivorce]

He's already proved he's willing to waste capital on this. Hopefully with his "majority " he'll feel less pressured to screw many to please just a small group.

As someone who despises the Liberals, I feel Carney has been doing well so far. This and the developer bailout are my only complaints. Let's hope he's logical on this.

[u/Jman4647 → u/Reelair]

I don't disagree with you on a lot here, but I'll say that Carney is good at looking like he's doing well so far.

I feel like he's not actually really doing much, just saying a lot of things, and Canadians are buying it

[u/Reelair → u/Jman4647]

I give everyone a fair chance. Trudeau blew that chance very fast. Carney is still tolerable, the next year will show his true colours.

I was in the same boat as you until recently. He seemed to not be accomplishing much. Then he dropped his Davos speech and changed the world wide trajectory in these Trumpian times. The world was letting Trump do whatever he wanted. Now, people are starting to push back. Not enough pushback, but it's a start.

[u/black_covfefe_please → u/Reelair]

Ok, now I see why you think he is doing well. You are lazer focused on Trump. Try paying attention to what is happening in Canada.

[u/Conscious_Bid_8762 → u/black_covfefe_please]

To be fair trump has hurt Canada enough we are talking. About Canada, you know anyone working in forestry ? Or ………..

[u/black_covfefe_please → u/Conscious_Bid_8762]

Has he? Seems our own government is the one hurting us.

[u/Conscious_Bid_8762 → u/black_covfefe_please]

I agree ours sucks and has for almost two decades… but trumps a douche bag and hasn’t helped the world economy

[u/-rifle-is-fine- → u/Jman4647]

I have to give him points for when he was asked bluntly about banning the SKS and brought up listening to the police and bail reform, rather than entertain the idea of another ban.

Hearing any Liberal politician mention bail reform in a manner indicating it needs to be tightened is something I never thought I would hear.

[u/mischling2543 → u/Reelair]

Undemocratically bribing his way to a majority is a big complaint of mine as well

[u/black_covfefe_please → u/Reelair]

Bill C-9? C-22? C-63? C-16? Bypassing democracy? Come on man.

You feel Carney is doing well so far? He is full on Totalitarian.

[u/Vahuo89 → u/iNeedAdivorce]

Poly never moves on.

Not until every gun is banned and taken from us.

[u/MixSpecific4630]

Not near me. They went way up

[u/TarkovSundays → u/[deleted]]

I picked up someones regret yesterday, came with all the goodies. Albeit tho a lot of these people probably picked them up for $250 or maybe even cheaper so they still are making 500-600. So far 5 have gone through my licence and I have dispersed them to family. But picked up the nicest one by far happened to be 1954 Tula.

[u/LumberjackCDN → u/[deleted]]

100p

[u/casa_del_porno → u/LumberjackCDN]

Yup… used to be $99 for Chinese SKS, $299 for the amazing Yugo version, the M59/66 or $399 at Marstar with a crate of ammo. That was pretty much the price between the late ‘90s to early ‘00s

[u/LumberjackCDN → u/casa_del_porno]

Yeah but gas also used to be 70 cents a litre and now its 1.50. And if youre old enough you can remember sub 60 cents too. And penny candies turned to nickel candies turned to 5 dollar plastic containers with 50 cents worth of 5 cent candies in em.

Unfortunately not the case anymore but what do you do.

[u/Cope180-Enjoyer]

Prices may not immediately go up especially regionally but sales volume goes up due to fear.

If there is a new jump in price of the sks from retailers then they all usually go up the same time. But retailers don't want to be left holding the bag so they may run sales or drop the price.

Its a mixture of behaviours when uncertainty strikes.

[u/Ok-Bowler-203]

I’m just glad I got mine last fall. Zero regrets and I love shooting it.

[u/BrotherLefthand]

$1200 down to $1000 isn't a deal.

[u/ThrowRA_That_Owl_25]

Such 🐈s, unbelievable!

[u/Mysterious_Sleep7443]

When they announced it last year all the sheep were selling them at $450/$500

They were all marked Sold on Gunpost too

Good on buyers to snap them up

I scored a minty honor guard chrome plated for $550 shipped

I feel really bad for people who live in fear and panic sell

I feel even more bad for people who are scared to buy stuff because " it might get banned"

If you are panic selling or scared to buy, just give up your PAL and get out of firearms completely

[u/jimjoe21 → u/Mysterious_Sleep7443]

Lmao 🤣 some people don’t like spending a large amount of money on something that’s likely to become a paperweight in the near future.

[u/Mysterious_Sleep7443 → u/[deleted]]

Well said brother , cheers 🍻

[u/Mysterious_Sleep7443 → u/jimjoe21]

Haha what a way to live , you can always make more money in the future, but you cant always buy a certain firearms

Paperweights and safe queens dont exist in a real man's life

[u/epnk420 → u/Mysterious_Sleep7443]

Good call lol

[u/Jurple-shirt]

There was an influx but prices haven't really moved at least for the french ticklers. I've been watching prices because I wanted to buy one and they've been selling for about $750 to 900$.

I did end up buy and receiving mine the same day he shot up the place.

[u/LabAffectionate3785]

I see a lot of ammo being posted

[u/Enough_Challenge7264 → u/LabAffectionate3785]

Where, and is it asking priced to move or...typical $.50 per for ball ammo?

[u/Ok-Raise-5115]

I’ve seen the opposite, cheapest one I’ve seen is $700 and it’s a piece of shit

[u/hungbeastfromtheeast]

I saw this all last year in September I knew prices would rise so I'm glad I got it than a month after I got it they went for 600 to 800

[u/Zealousideal-Hat5814]

Got me excited there buddy. I don’t see that

[u/escv_69420]

Lol what? Where are you at, and can I come visit on an SKS buying trip? They've hit consistent four figures here since the incident.

[u/Fuck_you_all22]

They did not capitalize on tumbler ridge. Carney seems to have a bigger fish to fry. Although he appointed a nutjob as a minister, he seems not interested in gun control much.
