$700 for a revolver? nah maybe a semi used.
There is NO such thing as gouging if someone WILLINGLY pays the asking price. Just because YOU think it is too high, does not mean others do. If they are selling these guns at their asking price, then they are priced correctly.
MSRP = Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price. It is not manditory. It is a suggestion. Either way it has nothing to do with how someone prices a used item.
I agree with the others, it is not gouging if you are willing. If you have a gun store and want to stay in business then you need product to sell. If you cant get any product to sell then what do you do? You still have bills and your employees still want a paycheck but if you have nothing to sell then what?
The reason these stores have no product to sell is because they just sold all their product in record time, aka they just made a boat load of cash. When a shop typically sells 10 AR's in a couple weeks, I feel no pitty for them when they sell 50 in 2 days and have no supply left to sell.
Regardless of if you are willing to pay the inflated price, if it is leaps and bounds over the industry standard, ITS PRICE GOUGING.
Some of those stores only carried inventory that was very light. If they normally sold 10 ARs a month and only had 10 in stock, they sold a month's worth of inventory. Now, they might not be able to get more ARs to sell for six months or more. How are they going to offset that income?
