I keep looking, but I can't find anyplace that says people have a right to an AR-15 at a cheap price.

I didn't say a cheap price, I said a fair price. As I said some people don't share my principles, therefore they don't understand them.

I don't know I bought my AR a year ago for $850 so I guess something less than a 100 percent increase in price over a years time. You know what a fair price means. $1,600 for a $800 rifle isn't it.

So what's a fair price? If I can't get an AR-15 in for 6 months because of backorders what price should I sell any inventory? My local store has a wait list for every EBR they can sell. The day after the election they sold 40 full rifles and every stripped lower they had in stock. Of course they have had lower then average sales lately because they don't have anything in stock.

This aint about fair price this is about people who WANT an AWB so they can make money, that makes them no better than the Bradys.

In a capitalist situation, "FAIR" is what ever the market will bare. I have been offered more than I could refuse for different things, more than I would have asked if I had put a price on them.

Swede, just to play devil's advocate, if gun prices drop dramatically, and you come across a guy with a sweet AR for $700, do your priciples tell you to give him a couple hundred bucks extra to be "fair"?

Pith the point is that by selling a rifle for an insanely inflated price is in my opinion not fair to your fellow shooter. That is it. That is what I think, and I wouldn't do it.
To answer your question directly;
No, my principles would tell me to bring someone to the range who has never shot before. get them into the sport. Or my principles would tell me to donate some money to an RKBA organization with my savings.
Like I said, the extra money these guys are making off of some people is not going to a good cause in my opinion. They can care less about our rights. They want a ban so they can suck blood.

I would really like to have seen the OP
-say , wow I wish I had had the foresight to have seen this coming. If I had, I would have made some money too, just like when I sell a car, house etc.
Isn't America a wonderful place where clever folks realize there is no limit on how well they can do?
I'm tired of American class warefare and wealth envy. Should the owners of gun stores or individuals etc. not be allowed to sell for what the market can bare and thus improve the lot of their family and life?

I'm concerned about the trap of American class warefare and wealth envy. Should the owners of gun stores or individuals etc. not be allowed to sell for what the market can bare and thus improve the lot of their family and life?

There are plenty of people out there that aren't gouging for EBR's. I am talking about, as it says in the title of my post, SOME of the back-stabbers. I have plenty of rifles I could sell for an outrageous price but I'm not.
If you look at what I have sold on here, you would see I just sold an under folding AK47 for $400 in November. Pretty much brand new. I'm not just talking to talk. I really would not do it myself and would never buy from anyone who does. Now or ever. In the end the gougers will go down. They look at what they can make NOW with no regard to their future.

I mean no insult to you if you want to sell at a fair price, that is commendable. A backstabber would be the person that buys the Ak for $400 from you and then sells it for $900. I just don't feel that people making money is a horrible thing, if it's priced too high it won't sell, the market works.
If they pay $1500 for an AR15 today and two years from now it's worth 3k, what then? There are bans and legislation coming, be prepared.

I agree with this. I can tell you now that if someone offers me double price I am going to sell. The other side is make sure you have one for yourself because it will cost that doule price to replace the one you sell. I had an AR before the last ban that I paid 400 dollars for. I sold it for $850 and thought wow I made some money on that deal. Years later I wanted a AR back for myself and it cost real close to 850. If I do sell I will have a backup or two.
