Mossberg cruiser for $200

[melikesguns]

I just ppicked up a Mossberg Cruiser(new in box) for $200. The guy said it had been in his shop long enough. :what: I wasa really surprised that it was not $400 after the election, but all his prices are good. He has 4 Bushy AR' for $900.00 each, and 10-12 Ak-47's for $429.00, god I wish I had a trust fund.:banghead:

I could buy a couple AK's or one Bushy, what are prices doing elsewhere. I do not need either, but maybe to make a $ later?

Sure, everybody needs 2 AKs, one for each hand and each family man.

You got a good price. They usually sell for around $300.

Shotguns aren't being jacked up like assault rifles. If it is a semiauto rifle in black, and pistols, dealers are screwing the public but good profit wise. The demand is there so why not take advantage of it? That is the current thinking among unscrupulous dealers.

I just heard on TV a dealer saying that his reason is that it would cost him much more financially to restock so he was jacking up his prices to what he thinks will be the restocking price.

It reminds me of the gas stations jacking up prices when a hurricane is pending. I think an honest dealer would stay within his profit margin until he has to restock and sell his old stock as "old stock" at it's previous MSRP.

Honesty is always the best policy.

Market driven economics is the best policy.

You can be damn sure that if those same dealers were selling ARs at $600 or 500rd of .223 for $80, we'd all be lining up to purchase it, you included lawman.

The price of something is the amount of money people are willing to pay for it. Big supply, low demand=low prices. We never talk about screwing over the dealer when prices are low. In fact, you say "You got a good price. They usually sell for around $300." Why not chastise the OP for being an unscrupulous consumer? Why is that when prices are high, and the consumer loses money, we complain, but when prices are low, and the dealer loses money, we cheer? Double standard?

If honesty is the best policy, you should be advising the OP to fork over another $100 to his dealer so that profit his margin is maintained.

OK, you've proven a point. Thank you.

Happy shooting!
