What are the two columns with numbers before the price? I imagine one of them is how many people have bid, but which column? Thanks :tiphat:

It probably is - but only if you sell it ;)

My wife just told me that I can't sell my three stripped lowers...... Yet.

I have had them for years, so I guess that is OK. :lol:

$38 pmags. and if that wasn't enough, the shipping charge $23.80. One more log to throw on the "not one more dime ever" list

Before you do that....

A LOT of dealers are getting frustrated with "PMag Flippers." These guys buy at fair prices, then flip them on the high demand market. You could say that's fair, but why would you say that a flipper charging a high price is fair and a dealer charging a high price isn't? I mean, I wouldn't do that, but I understand their frustration.

One dealer took a novel approach: They are charging $39.20 and _donating_ the difference from the retail price of $14.95 to the NRA (link here, not child-friendly language http://www.skdtac.com/Magpul-PMAG-Gen-M ... ag.502.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ). Most dealers are now capping pmag orders. It's crazy. A couple weeks ago, I was getting crazy offers for bulk pmags at ridiculous prices. Now I call a wholesaler and they're like, "PMag what?"

And no, I'm not selling the remaining inventory of my PMags.

Ya I posed the the wrong topic, meant for the gouging forum. I've decided not to sell any of my pmags on my next order, until I receive my first backorder. When I receive my first backorder, I will only sell one or two at a time, at reasonable prices, based on my last backorder price. So I don't waste time meeting people all day long to sell two pmags to, I'm going to offer reservations for 2 pmags to customers for the Austin or SanAntonio saxet and premier shows. I made the mistake of selling my last 17 pmags in inventory on Tuesday before I picked up those two spikes lowers. I made a modest profit, the same as what I was charging at gun shows. My fear is if I offer anyone five pieces, they'll end up on gunbroker, which doesn't profit me or my other customers who didn't get their merchandise.
