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?

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

.... 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
