Posted by Derek Gary on one of the firearms selling groups on Facebook. Goes as follows... You want to buy this gun. When you do, you will soon discover that men want to BE you, and women want to BE WITH you. As soon as you fire this weapon you will swear that the ghost of Mikhail Kalashnikov himself came down from Commie heaven and gave you a slap on the back with his leathery man hands. This weapon was built in Romania and sent here where it was customized with an aluminum quad rail, Browning holographic sight, and laser sight by an authentic certified native born son of the Great State of Mississippi. When you see the marshmallow roasting fireball that erupts out of the muzzle of this bad boy, you'll know why they named it the Draco after the mighty fire breathing dragon. The BATF considers this weapon a pistol, so it can be carried legally with a handgun carry permit, which is sure to annoy any gun grabbing liberal hippy types that have the misfortune of crossing your path. This 7.62x39mm beast will use any high capacity AK mag or drum, so don't try to use any California approved single stack garbage unless you want it to be spit back at you while the mighty Draco laughs and mocks you. If think you have what it takes to wield this God given blessing of the second amendment, be the first to meet me with $500.00 American Dollars. The sale of this weapon includes one 30 round mag, the original box and paperwork, and one disposable razor. The razor is for the steely tactical man beard you are sure to grow after becoming the proud owner of this "handgun". If you need to ask your wife first, immediately close this ad and go watch a romantic comedy on Lifetime, this gun is not for you Nancy boy. If two worthy prospects show up, ownership will be determined by a feat of strength of my choosing. Located in Bartlett TN. Good luck gentlemen.

I'll bet his wife made him sell it. :rofl:

[TrickyNicky]

Seriously, if that's someone here take a bow! :rofl:

[Luke E.]

Incredible! Good price on the "handgun" as well.

[KKing]

I too was kinda surprised at the price

[Hershmeister]

I'm just glad he won't be using The Thunderdome/Bartertown Wheel if you reneg on an "i'll take it"!

[Motasyco]

It looks like this may be a substitute for that "low T" medication I see in TV commercials.

If he had listed it here, people would be trying to get him to $200.

 

Lots of the newer folks here want "gifts," not "deals."

I'd be trying too. I'm all about paying as little as I can for your stuff. If you agree to it, then it's a good deal for both of us. Ain't capitalism grand? ;)

It sure is! I'll give ya $2.98 for everything you own. Deal? ;)

[Luke E.]

I guess the point is, you have a say so and can say no or even add some colorful vernacular as you see fit. I can be irritating when you have to deal with to many of the low ballers though.

[LagerHead]

No deal. See? I didn't agree to the offer. Want to hear my counter offer? It's significantly more than $2.98.

How about tree-fiddy?

I suspect it might be a former member.  He who we shall not mention.

Highly doubtful, IMO No orange tip

Just don't say that about people buying and reselling ammo, for some reason no one likes to be on the receiving side of that because it's "just not fair" 

[Smith]

Somewhere people have gotten the idea that exploiting people, whether due to ignorance or desperation, for a "good deal" is capitalism. It is not nor has it ever been understood that way. Capitalism works off integrity of both ends. That is why we have problems with so many corporate and government issues. A good deal has to be a fair deal or else it is exploitation. It's like cheating at cards and then justifying it by saying its ok because they agreed to play you and didn't object.

Thank you for stating it so eloquently.

It's absolutely nothing like cheating at cards. It's as much like cheating at cards as it is like a twin-turbo V8. Not the same ball park, not even the same sport.

 

For person A to exploit person B, either person B has to be an unwitting participant in the deal or some sort of coercion must be used. If I ask $1,000,000,000 for a brick of .22 ammo, you have two choices: You can say, "Sure, that's a fair price," and pay it, in which case we are both happy because I got $1,000,000,000, i.e. something I wanted, and you got a brick of .22 ammo, i.e. something you wanted. Win, win. The other option is, you can say, "That's too much," and walk away. In that case, you're happy because you didn't pay more than what you wanted and I'm happy because I didn't accept less than I wanted. In neither case are you an unwilling participant no did I in any way force you to do something you didn't want to do. 

 

So where exactly is the exploitation? If the market wouldn't bear the prices, vendors couldn't charge it. Just because YOU don't want to pay a price doesn't mean it's too high. Obviously there are tons of people that disagree. I haven't bought ammo in a couple of years because I agree with you. But nobody is exploiting me either way.

1. When people buy up all the resources at retail stores for fair market value then turn around and sell them to the same market for inflated prices because of the shortage they created, then yes that is exploitation. The very fact that there are two markets for the same product with the same consumer .... it's exploitation. 

 

2. If you're lowballing in hopes of capitalizing on someone's desperation or ignorance, then the question is one of personal ethic. Using the market as a means of personal gain at the expense of others if exploitation.

 

Capitalism works because it is intended to use integrity of both parties to create a win/win scenario as the end game. It is when it becomes overtly one sided with no means of correction that you end up with socialism. I would argue that what you are describing is more akin to corporate exploitation. monopoly's,  and government business.

 

Just because someone agrees to being cheated doesn't clear you ethically. Now if they are being benevolent then fine no problem, but most of the scenarios prey on the ignorant or desperate.
