    You said exactly what I was thinking! I too, live in a ban state... but my job exempts me from that aspect of things. But I feel both sides of the argument personally. That said, anyone need a cherry, vintage PWA commando pre-ban lower? (seriously, though... PM me if you want it.)

    Yes, Gunbroker is the way to go for that type of item. It is hard to assign a value number to it, being that so much of its value stems from its rarity and the artificially restricted markets in the more oppressed lands, but is mitigated by the generally poor quality of those models... the best thing to do IMO is just to put it up for auction and see what value the market assigns to it. There is no more effective or fairer way of determining fair market value than an auction.

    That is what I did earlier this year when I received a pre-ban Oly A2 HBAR as payment for legal fees. I ended up getting $960 for it FYI. Since yours is a little "cooler" setup being a carbine, and having the more desirable collapsible stock, I would expect it would bring a little more than mine. When I was selling mine, it looked like the pre-ban carbines were bidding a little higher than the A2 setups.

    If I lived in one of those states, I simply wouldn't comply. I didn't during the '94 national AWB, and I won't for any such future law either.

    You are smoking crack if you believe this to be true.

    Free-market economics. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you can't buy it, talk to your politicians -- don't blame somebody trying to match supply with demand and/or had the foresight to not get screwed.

    Sure man, whatever you say. I don't have any issues with "needing" anything, I have plenty. I do have a problem with the dudes who troll Academy and Walmart everyday and buy up all the .22 shells. Tell me that doesn't cause problems for the community.

    I don't do this, but I see your point.

    It is what it is, I suppose.

    And why are they doing that ? cause people will still buy them at inflated prices ? if people would stop paying stupid prices, things like this would not happen.
