How is tbis worth 7000$ more than a Marlin Dark?

This is getting way outta control

Gunpost admins and CGN really need to find a way to combat scalpers and the "I know what I got sonny crowd".

Nothing is going to happen unfortunately, as these guys always pay to boost their ads to the top of the category and onto the front page.

What do you think should happen?

The problem is that this guy is artificially inflating prices by buying up all the stock, and scalping potential new shooters. Hella scummy if you ask me. I looked at some of his listing and he’s got $1800 lever guns up for like 3k plus

Ok.. so let's say you're right and he's bought up " all the stock"... I'm not sure what that even means in this case... but he's got a few hundred thousand tied up in all this stock if that's true, if not a million?

If no one pays him, he's got to lower the price, or sit on the guns and eat the cost.

You think the admins on those sites should get involved in setting what you can charge for your guns?

[u/Longjumping_Deer3006 → u/Bohdyboy]

New rules of where you cannot inflate the price way above market value.

[u/Bohdyboy → u/Longjumping_Deer3006]

.... so who decides MARKET VALUE, if not the market?

How is this any different than the 1000 dollar sks's everyone is buying now? They were regularly 259 dollars in quite recent memory. Often with some ammo.

If you don't like his price, and enough other people don't like his price, he'll have to lower it, and that means you were right. He was over what the market ( buyers) value was.

If he sells a few, that means he priced it correctly, for those buyers.
There are plenty of things i think aren't worth what people pay for them. That doesn't mean the sellers should need to lower their price to match my expectations
