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?
