Crazy Prices
Wasn’t sur where to post this, so here it is. Just did a review of GI. The prices are outrageous. I know there’s a high demand, but thing is out of control. There are no deals to be found. Good luck to all the sellers. I’m sticking with what I have.


JP Sauer Drilling 12x12x9.3x72
David Murray Scottish Hammer 12 Bore
Alex Henry 500/450 Double Rifle
Steyr Classic Mannlicher Fullstock 6.5x55
Steyr Classic Mannlicher Fullstock .30-06
Walther PPQ H2 9mm
Walther PPS M2
Cogswell & Harrison Hammer 12 Bore Damascus
And Too Many More

Yup. And the websites I normally deal with for ammo are now either out of stock or only selling bulk

I've noticed that too. Crazy.

I can only guess it's because of the covid stuff that's happening. Maybe people think that gangs of covid positive people are going to arrive at their door maybe? Who knows. sofa

I've been looking for ammo and components for my 9.3x62 and what I want is marked out with no chance to reorder. Let's hope it gets back to normal soon. But there is an election coming up in November and the paranoia runs deep with some........ space

Guns International? People post "asking" prices there knowing that virtually nothing on that site sells for what it is listed for. If you'll check out Gunbroker listings you'll see that about 90% of them never get a bid. Real world selling prices are considerably lower than internet "asking" prices. However, it is true that the exorbitant posted prices have fooled many sellers into asking far more than their items will sell for, creating a somewhat slow market where the sellers and buyers simply can't reach a meeting of the minds.

By the way, the component manufacturers are now in an overstocked position and are discounting and putting many items on sale.

Remington, which manufactures guns, ammunition, and components, has been in bankruptcy since March and today announced that its last potential purchaser has withdrawn. Does that sound like a "seller's market" in the gun world?

sounds more like Remington doesn't know how to operate a business.

Quoted prices are crazy, but give them a call and negociate and you can still get some great buys..I got my RJReamer custom 7x57 for $650. and a clean mod. 54 for $600.Most folks price high so they have some wiggle room..Just my take..Also you have to price your guns right or they wont sell on GI, and AR...
