I remember back when Fiocchi announced a new ammo plant opening yet heard or saw nothing more.

@Maxwell ,
With all due respect, what does an ammo plant have to do with the topic of this discussion? This thread is about the size of members' mother’s members, taking down kings, and mayonaise. Please don’t derail it.
Thanks-

i’m actually surprised he didnt go with the usual “moronman”. fixated? certainly. but at least he showed a little creativity.
Now if Choid would self implode, this place could get back to being normal again!
in all seriousness....once it became obvious he took it to heart, and that it TRUELY upset him, yes, yes i was. but it had nothing to do with his actions/rant/name calling. more to do with my empathy for my fellow man. and let’s not forget, i did rat shit on his post.
i dig on the rough and tumble vibe in the pit; it’s the next best thing to being back in the barracks. kicking each other in the nuts is what we do here; along with watching out for each other and sharing news and info.
it wasnt my goal to ruin the guy’s day. i do feel bad, and once i realized the extent of it, i backed off. i seriously have a legit concern for his health, as i have a very close family member dealing with organic brain problems. but, his hackles are up and anything i say will be construed as malicious by him. it is genuinely not.
and maybe that aint the case. perhaps he’s a guy that just flat out doesnt belong in the pit, and should stay out of it. it does take a certain type; and some people will never get that kind of vibe/friendship.
OR....there is the possiblity that he is just an asshole who had it coming.
How fucking dare you you took this too far you don’t know who you are messing with here you don’t know what I’m capable of and you will regret ever acting the way you did here today I guarantee it no body talks likes this and can get away with it call in your guard dogs because you are going to need them because I am coming for you I have taken down several Kings that haven’t lived to tell about it just me and you buddy you and you slanderous fools don’t know what you have coming I will make your head explode with what you will have coming your way you grammar Nazis can’t even understand the point of what I’m trying to say here like a bunch of fools that can understand simple block text what you aren’t capable of reading a paragraph what a bunch of idiots
You will rue the day you shit posted like this
I'm impressed by mayonaise, I mean mayonnaise, I mean @myronman3 Typ response here is to take a swing. He saw what I think we can all see as some potential loose screws and backed off for the sake of someone that may be in some sort of distress. That's a gentleman.
Waiter!!!
Waiter!!!
Can you please check on my sandwich? I dont deserve this kind if disrespectful service!

Just hit the ignore button hard. $380 is pricey, gouging for $650 is criminal. Fuck this clown.
What’s sad is people pay the ask, when a sear and a drill bit are so cheap to throw in a parts bin.

Because this is a thread about price gouging and no mater how fast something is sold if it’s a 200+% mark up it’s probably gouging. I have stuff on back order, and i’m not not at all concerned. Gouging is gouging no matter who wants to pay the price.

You're gonna "punish" me for having a different opinion than yours? It's not even my PX for sale thread. 
Anyone who charges more than what they pay retail, plus shipping times two is a gouger, and a POS that should have to get a commercial account.
Prove me wrong, i’m waiting.

Yeah, I learned my lesson on another rule. I’m not about to bash a thread outside the pit. Especially on the BST.
I just saw that ad and felt like venting, I don’t have a lot of outlets right now.
I have two buddies with cash in hand to buy one of those triggers, at retail. Some with back orders in. That seems a bit more than capitalism.

I'm not trying to start anything with you personally, just responding to the statement. NO ONE, including myself, wants to pay more for something they want. I see this situation to be no different from something as simple as an auto auction. When a car comes across the block that may be the last of only a few available, they fetch higher prices from those willing to pay. The more that are available, the lower the price.
If those paying big bucks for something stop doing so, prices fall. Sellers will lower prices when their product stops selling. As long as there are people willing to buy, prices will remain higher. The buyers are as much to blame as the sellers.
I let the buyer set the price. For example, I decided to let go of 10K 9MM I would most likely never use. I announced this at the last match I attended and by day's end had sold it all for $7,500....but shipping was free.
Put your glasses on.
And what I call my wife is my prerogative until she tells me otherwise.
if’n you feel so strongly about it, we’ll be expecting you to sell your house for what you paid for it, when the time comes.
i just dont get it......if you think the price is too high, simply don’t buy it. i can understand the head scratching that might occur from seeing what folks are getting for widget X, that they originally bought for $X then sold for $Y. THAT, i can understand. but the finger pointing about “gouging”, really?
that goes RIGHT back, full circle, to the post #1 in this thread.
if someone has widget X, and it is unobtainium through all other outlets, it’s entirely up to them to decide what they’d be willing to sell it for. maybe someone out there is willing to pay that, maybe no one is. but IF there is, then why do third parties want to insert themselves into it? i mean, if you have another widget X, and you see an opportunity to undercut the price, go for it. if not? then it is just sour grapes.

i’ve thought about it at length, and the ONLY thing i can come up with is sour-assing.
nothing else makes sense.

I agree. If I can't make a profit on something I really didn't plan on selling, then why would I sell? Also, why would I ever sell anything for below market price? Was I gouging when I bought a house in a depressed market in 2011 and sold for a large profit in 2020? One person was interested in my house until they heard the price, then said it was too much. Next person to look bought it at asking price. Should I have sold to the complainer?
Realistically, what is the difference in houses and ammo? What makes an individual think they have any right to set the profit margin on another person's item?
i’ve thought about that, too. and the answer, is one word. and those who are guilty of it, dont like it.
communism.
folks baulk and squawk. all i have to say to those folks is, either sell your shit for what you say others should sell their’s for, or you’ve lost all credibility. but even then, it doesnt give you the right to piss and moan about someone else’s asking price.
I don’t completely disagree, but according to that logic what is the definition of price gouging?
What’s the difference between ammo and food, or water, or oxygen?
if it’s someone’s property, they can ask what they want for it. folks dont like it? simply dont buy it. i dont give a fuck if it’s food, water, or ammo.
nobody has the right to anyone else’s property.

According to your conscience, does that change if there’s a fire, flood, or winter blizzard?
How about a monopoly? If I own 100% of the market, can I charge what I like? What if I don’t own it, but I set up a brokerage that controls 100% of the market, can I charge any amount I want? Like Enron did with power?

“thou shall not steal”. doesnt matter if it’s outright theft, or state condoned theft. theft is theft.
what i do, what i sell, what i dont sell. shouldi turn my back on a neighbor in need, is between me, and God.
“IF”..... “IF” frogs had machine guns, would snakes still fuck with ‘em? that’s what i think of “iF”. i dont play the “if” game. let’s stay in the real world.

If frogs had machine guns, they would still surrender.
Enron wasn’t an “if” and anti-monopoly laws aren’t in place for if either.
I was asking what, by that logic, would be price gouging. Seems like your position is there is no such thing; which I don’t agree with.

i’ve lived long enough to see that government “solutions” are a bigger threat to freedom than companies. in fact, your anti monopoly laws are little more than shake down tools for politicians to line their pockets.
how the fuck you going to equate private ammo/primer/powder sales to anti monopoly laws? that’s so far off topic i shouldn’t even address it.
