Buy recommendations People buying from scalpers are the problem too.
I hate the guys who scalp and markup by $1000 as much the next guy, but it’s so disappointing to see this labelled “sold” after being posted same day. Some people just have different levels of disposable income.
For the dumb automated reddit rule: this is not a sale, offer or advertisement of any item, only a screenshot of a website.

$2000 for a turkish shotgun clone of a notoriously unreliable design.. now I've seen it all

u/Successful_man_797 12d ago
Exactly! I just couldn't bring myself to buy it. Even that 1k is too much.

I would for $1000.00. No more. Cool range toy, talking piece, and flex on buddies material.

It's not just that the quality is debatable. It's that this is likely to be a high production gun and isn't some rare unicorn or caught by an impending ban. Some people simply just can't wait.

Probably listed it as sold so when they repost it for $2500 someone will give in to their FOMO. 😬

I just saw that. Imagine putting makasi money to this thing that will definitely come back in stock at some point.

u/AndreiHoo 12d ago
Lmao for that price I can find a benelli m4 or 1301

u/scottsuplol 12d ago
I was gonna grab one of these but seeing the price now just gonna grab the 1301

u/Dexcessive 12d ago
Best to wait until they get restocked. I think someone posted TI saying it would be a month or two. Or grab both lol

I wouldn’t buy from a scalper no matter what they have. Took me forever but finally found my marlin trapper 45/70 years without scalper tax

u/Eyeronick 12d ago
Weird, they've had tons of these at my local Canadian Tire, they even had a dark right now.

Jesus. Beretta 1301 money for a Turkish shotgun is insane. It's Turkish, they are going to pump out thousands of them in the next few months.

The guy could of just been bombarded with SHAME messages and just marks it sold instead of deleting the ad
Or he took way less than $2000
Someone would have to have rocks in their head to pay that
Hell, I wouldnt even pay 750$ for one

u/jwubadubdub 12d ago
Bud, someone paid $3k for a Makasi 11.5" upper. Through the internet you have full access to the bell curve. Never underestimate the public's retardation

u/ManufacturerMuch5116 12d ago
I would rather wait 10 years for the thing I want than to buy from a scalper lmao

Ive always assumed these guns that sell well over priced.. are people buying them with:
- Money isnt an issue.
- No paper trail associated. There's no legal proof they own the gun. Its always tactical.."this may be banned" guns.
Think about the type 81's/ sks's/ 180's...
If you really wanted to buy one and you knew the next OIC was coming.. Whats a few extra hundred or more for peace of mind. Now i wouldn't buy this shotgun lol but somebody will im sure.

u/HappyCan7250 12d ago
The guy who bought it maybe isn't as involved as we all are, and didn't know it was $999 new maybe, just thought it was unique and bought it without knowing the price it was bought for just days ago. Still, fuck the scalpers. Im all for capitalism, but it does just feel sleazy.

u/mwmwmwmwmmdw 12d ago
why get this for a turkish clone especially. theres almost no popular turkish made guns i can think of that where scarce or hard to find since these companies like money and will keep sending popular guns to the canadian market as long as they sell well.

u/16gaugeguy16 12d ago
You just know these scalpers tell all their friends that they are a gun expert and that they sell guns on the side to make some extra cash lol... meanwhile they just learned how to subscribe to email notifications.

For 400$ more I got a new beretta 1301 pro comp. I can already tell you which one is still gonna work like new 10,000 rounds later :)

u/Specialist_Chard5231 12d ago
Neither of them? You are way past the maintenance period at 10k rounds.

Most of the time on Gunpost I see stuff that I think is reasonably priced, or close to reasonable. And then, once in a while, you get somebody who's straight-up on crack. Is your rifle secretly made out of platinum and conflict diamonds, dude?
