    Restraint in the M4 Marketplace

    I have perceived a more restrained environment and less insanity in the M4 Marketplace than some of the other boards on which I participate. Particularly the complete rifle and lowers section.

    I for one, appreciate this reserved reaction.

    You'll find there is a very good group of people here. The consequence is reflected into our equipment exchange.

    I think many here "dislike" the vendors that bought up everything and are now screwing people out of their cash.....to say the least.

    There are still things that I want to buy off the forums so I am just looking for what is still real that I need and then overlooking the over priced hoopla.

    I initially saw restraint on this forum but the restraint diminishes as time passes. It's impossible to keep from getting caught up in the momentum.

    This is a difficult time for us all and this forum has a fine group of people.

    I have to smile at this when I see the price that your P-Mags are for sale at...

    Not judging, BTW. Just amused.

    They are cheaper than almost everywhere else right?

    Pmags on gunbroker are going for insane prices.

    I hope my post didn't come off wrong. It really wasn't meant to be offensive in any way. I just sold 2 S&W rifles for almost $1500 in profit; Your P-mags are worth whatever someone will pay for them. I am not one of these people who preaches capitalism out of one side of my mouth and then bitches about "gouging" from the other.
