GOC is a HOOT!

I watch prices constantly to stay on top of things as I have the bug. Always wanting to try something different. I get a kick out of that new sales sight, mainly in east TN, called Gun Owners Club. If some of you guys are on there regularly I don't mean to be offensive but these guys need to get a clue. They put these guns up at new prices, some even higher and throw out the old "if you had to pay tax-TICS-accessories" argument. I don't post anything over there, I just laugh. Those guys have every right to ask any price they want, to think any thing they want. I just get amazed at the prices they ask. I feel sorry for some as you can tell they got nailed by some dealer. But it is not our job to bail them out. If I decide to sell something I try to be reasonable to market value and be fair about it. Most of you guys that have dealt with me know that. I may push a little but I don't try to play dealer. I called one guy in Cookeville about a rifle, I thought I had got Joe's Used Car lot...he fast talked me, tried to rip me a knew one, again, I just laughed and moved on, as they say Caveat Emptor. Just wanted to share and warn a little, if you have not dealt with some of these guys beware, it is not TGO. Have a great day and be Blessed.

GOC is mostly a joke. Ok, yea, I look at it.. occasionally come across some deals, but most everything on there is over-priced. For example, I can have a NIB SR9c delivered from buds, pay the ffl transfer, and still be cheaper then that guy wants for his used one with 400 rounds down the pipe..

Sigma's for $350-400.. LMAO!

Yeah they can get a little crazy over there. I talked to one guy who was selling a completely stock Glock 23 with the exception of having a 3.5# trigger and extended mag release, both of which can be bought and installed yourself for less than $50. He said it had about 1000 rnds through it. He was asking $650 for it. Told him to get lost.

I just look at it for the humor.

I have been guilty of using the "very over priced" button a time or two. Some of those folks are crazy.

You have to sift through some BS, but I've found many really, really good deals on there. Some I didn't find in time, some I did. I've had great luck selling on there as well. I've seen some pretty crazy prices here as well. I'm glad it's there, because I can't hardly stomach a gun show any more,. and used to rarely miss one.

I do agree with the "even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while" statement. I found a nice little Colt a while back. I still peruse the pages regularly. I laugh but I peruse all the same. Some things are better left unsaid I guess. I do go to the shows a lot. I had a guy walk by me with a Norinco AK last show. I asked him how much?...He says $1600, to which I reply "I didn't know Norinco made any gold plated AK's". Now, I know I shouldn't have said that. But I lack filters and sometimes it comes out before I can stop it.

BTW, I go to the shows a lot now as I have a lot of friends out there and I just enjoy hanging out there. I get some good deals occasionally. But sometimes I will spend a whole day sitting with some guys just BS-ing just having fun.

I agree with you guys on that site. I friend showed it to me awhile back and I look over it regularly and get a lot of laughs out of it. Some of the prices on there are outrageous but occasionally find a deal or two.
