Has anyone noticed prices coming down on certain guns? At the last gun show I went to about a month ago decent looking M1 Garands were going for 800-900. Usually in that price range, all you can find are ones so bad that they look like they will blow up if you even think of firing them.

Reasonable means different things to different folks - many in the Middle East would consider an AK priced over $50 to be unreasonable.......

If I owned a gun store and had to keep my employees employed I would increase the price on my stock so that I could keep my doors open and my employees employed.
Today I visited a local gun store...they had very little stock...but they were still open, and although gun and ammo prices were up people were still buying them.

"Asking" is fine. You can "ask" whatever price you want for whatever you are selling. Refusing to "lower" your price after someone makes you a "lower" or "different" offer and acting offended is just bad bussiness.
I may be wrong, but I don't think people would be so upset if some of the "sellers" were willing to negotiate on price.
I, like most other people, will not buy outside my "comfort zone" nor should anyone have to. You don't like the price, move on, let it go. Either the seller will figure out their mistake or someone with more money than sense will buy it.
If you're willing to knowingly overpay for something just because you can't wait for a "lower" price, or you're too lazy or impatient to shop around, then you only have your self to blame.
I can't tell you how many times I've walked into a LGS, or gone to a Show, and heard someone yelling at the person behind the counter, or table, about how "criminal" their prices are, just to watch them willingly hand over their money. No one forced them to pay those prices. They could have left. Instead they paid the "inflated" prices.
So who do you think is to blame for the high prices?
