$475 for a '40 calibur[sic] s&w'

open the ad, it's a five hundred dollar HI POINT

do people seriously think they can get that? or is he confused enough to think the .40S&W caliber makes it a smith and wesson???

[TripleDigitRide]

Yes, I saw that just a bit ago. LSN is full of folks who have no cluse when it comes to the actual value of firearms.

[Guest abailey362]

he probably paid $600 for it at a gun show.....taking a loss on this one lol

[fizik]

Wow, that's unbelievable. I don't think I've ever even thought about selling anything worth more than a few bucks without researching its worth and market price. I really wonder though if this is ignorance on the seller's part or 'gun-sharking' to screw a novice buyer. especially considering how misleading the title is.

LSN is full of this kind of crap. It's always buyer beware over there, though I have had some good experiences trading off of LSN.

It is misleading.

He also calls the mags clips.

[BrasilNuts]

Maybe those .40 cal Winchester rounds are gold plated...

IMHO in the internet age if you buy something and you get taken to the cleaners its you own fault. The whole world is just a click away, all you have to do is a little research.

edit: by the way I agree its misleading and that the seller is either ignorant or a pos.

Good for him.

[Mike.357]

He also calls the mags clips.

isn't that what they are?

[Warbird]

He also calls the mags clips.

And here I didn't even know the Hi-Point used clips, old technology for a new gun eh. Maybe the clips are for a Garand.

The guy is just ignorant. He probably got ripped on the gun and has no idea of its worth.

By the way, for those interested that gun in LNIB condition, 100% would be worth about $135. In its likely condition probably $100-110

I'd say 140 bucks with two mags is about fair. New in a store they go for about 180, then add tax and background and you are near 210 bucks. 140 fair, 475, nutso.

More power to him if he can get it.

[Guest AeroEngrSoftDevMBA]

Well, I just clicked on the add and it says "SOLD".

[strob2000]

Well, I just clicked on the add and it says "SOLD".

Yea, I hope nobody was stupid enough to buy that crap. I'm sure he just got tired of people calling and emailing to tell him what an idiot he is.

[Magiccarpetrides]

I saw one like that for nearly $390.00 at a pawn shop.

[Angus]

LMAO...I emailed the seller to see if he had anymore at such a great price

[molonlabetn]

isn't that what they are?

If it's a .40s&w M1 Garand, yeah...

[strickj]

Well if he can sell a Hi Point for 500,then by god let him call a mag a clip!

[et45]

As Tim Wilson would say "Ya gotta have a fifty clip".

[Marswolf]

As all of my WWII and Korean War friends (and most of my Vietnam buddies) say, they carry spare clips. I have a real problem with grammar police....

[Daniel]

all my gulf war (lol) and oef/oif buddies carry spare mags.

[Warbird]

As all of my WWII and Korean War friends (and most of my Vietnam buddies) say, they carry spare clips. I have a real problem with grammar police....

Mars you are absolutely right. All of the old vets called anything designed to hold multiple rounds together clips. All of my uncles, 18 of them, all career military referred to them as clips almost all of the time. I followed their lead for several years myself.

Though we like to rib, it doesn't matter much, we all know what is meant.

[Guest theolog]

...the seller is either ignorant or a pos.

I don't think this is either/or, I think it is a both/and sort of situation!

[Angus]

Mags...Clips...call em what ya want I guess? If they feed rounds into the pipe, and help burn a douchebag, it is alll good.
