Will we see shit like this again come November

This is not a political discussion, but rather an economic one concerning firearms/accessories and prices. (Mods)

Did companies back in 2013 rev up manufacture enough to prevent shortages on mags/ammunition?

Will price gouging return regardless?

Take all non-gun related stuff to >>>/pol/ as much as it pains me to do so, that's where the mods have decided gun-politics belong (despite the lack of nuanced understanding of guns/gun politics on that board)

jesus christ I sure hope not

fuck my asshole "Our Low Price"
>>
I remember seeing a guy pay $1,200 for a single stack Npap during this time.

A lot of people that were interested in these things learned from that scare and used the last few years to make their purchases.

Of course some people are just idiots, so I've been buying Magpul mags every time I've seen them at a good price the last two years and plan to clean up at the flea market this December.
>>
>>31321138
There will probably be pre election panic buying so lots of things will be sold out. The appaling price gouging from businesses typically happens when legislation is imminent. Around election time you can expect some private sellers to ask outlandish prices.
>>
>>31321138
Lets hope so. I bought 30 mags a month ago to resell for 10x the price
>>
who /gouger/ here?

>mfw fuckwads pay me $50 per pmag
>mfw I might just put tapco's inna magpul packaging and really fuck people
>>
>>31321896
I bought 20 mags, 10 to keep, 10 to sell
>>
Nobody's going to buy mags from scalpers, they've had 3 years to learn their lesson and stock up. Ammo might be a different story, though. You lose at least some of what you have every time you go to a range.
>>
>>31322376
If I can get a 10% return on mags, it will have been a better investment than most equities/bonds currently available

I guarantee I could clear 200-400% during a panic
>>
>>31322376
>they've had three years to learn their lesson
It just doesn't work that way, man. Some people never learn.
>>
>not stocking up on shit cost ARs, making them look tacticool as fuck and selling them for immense prices

>Waiting for the first Del-Ton AR with an NCStar Red Dot and airsoft furniture to sell for $3000

It's a bad kind of feel

Is Del-Ton not good?

>>31321138
I'm actually really worried about this. I'm trying to save up to buy my first AR, and I'm worried it'll cost everything I'll ever own to buy it cos of panic/election price gouging.
>>
I'm buying the D&H Mags from PSA next time they go on sale for $6.99 or $7.99 with free shipping. Ill buy at least 10, as I already have 8 of those and 10 Gen 3 PMags. I have 2 ARs and plan on building 4 more in the next 10 years.
USGI Mags with Magpul followers for $7-$8 just cant be beat, and all of mine have worked completely flawlessly.
>>
>>31321138
As bad as immediately after Sandy Hook? No. But for those that remember 2008, it'll be that bad.
>>
>>31322911
Del ton is shit
>>
>>31324633
So gimme numbers, how much did pmags go fer?
>>
>>31321138
For that price they had better be museum grade.

I've refrained from saying exactly this because it sound so shill-y

But for real, PSA has some solid deals
My LGS is trying to charge $14 for USGI mags with standard followers, blemishes and no coating
>>
>>31324889
You could probably sell plain Jane usgi mags for $20 right now in CA, and $25 for PMAGS. Later down the line you could probably get $30 easily.
>>
>>31324917
I never wanna sound shill-y but that's how it comes off I guess. I don't have a single bad thing I can say about them. It'd be nice if they went down to $6.99 again or you could get them for $7.99 without having to buy 20 but that's not a big issue. I just don't get why people on here have qualms about them.
I'm just hoping I'll be able to get them shipped to my college dorm without any problems.
Time to read the policies.
>>
>>31324637
Pmags didn't change much honestly. The AR explosion didn't really start until after the election. ARs and most stuff for them probably won't change much.

But everything else? Yeah that's gonna go up at least 25%
>>
>tfw poor fag buying a cheap rifle that also has cheap mags.

Even if the price quadruples thats still only $15 to $20 a pop.
