Shitpost / Memes Do not buy at these egregious prices

If people are actually paying this, they set the market to this. So dont buy it.

Sell yours for $600 and beat the evil capitalist! Set the new market price!

Wow so anti-capitalist even undercutting the retailer's price!

I was just at the Toronto Gun show. Buddy said they order 3 times as many for the next shipment. Just put your name on the list and wait.

Just wait a few months and there will be another shipment…

Some folks have the money and see it as the cost of not waiting. Long time ago when I use to fill online orders, I be shocked at the amount of people that pay 4x the cost for priority shipping.

How much did they cost straight from the manufacturer? Like $1000?

Every market always have scalpers.

I used to buy/sell/trade a few guns a year, every year. I don't even look at Gunpost or the EE anymore and haven't in at least a year and a half. The whole gun economy in Canada has just totally gone to shit. It's beyond ridiculous. I feel bad for kids coming up these days.

$1850 isn't bad if he's already broken it in.

Free market. I sold my Toronto home for $1.6 million and retired early. I paid $165k for it. Supply and demand.

Supply and demand, free market, capitalism at work. You must be a communist and want every regulated. I bet you love the idea of a gun registry and givernment approved transfers

Yeah it's what people are willing to pay. Aside from knowing the price retail, what would you be willing to spend on a spas 12 that seemingly is better made than then the og. Keep in mind the beneli m4 is north of 3 grand. Many cheap semi autos are around 1000$.

u/lettelsnek 4h ago

better than the original is a low bar, these things seemingly have issues already

u/Unhappy-Ad9690 2h ago edited 2h ago

Issues: possibly illegal shell limiter, jam often, every button stiff to the point of being near unusable, every screw falls out after a couple hundred rounds. It’s a cool looking gun but people charging this much are nuts. Edit: added a word.
