    Supply and demand. I'm pretty sure no one actually "needs" to buy that particular firearm at this time, I mean let's be real, there are better firearms for self defense, hunting, etc. If they didn't raise the price they'ed be all gone. I'd wager most folks wanting one right now either think they won't be able to get one later, still not a "need" or figure they can buy it and flip it at a large profit, still not a "need". If someone ran up to you today and offered you 3x what you paid for one of those a month ago would you sell it to them for what they were offering you or a little less than what you paid because it's lightly used?

    I don't know what I'd do if someone wanted to flip me 3k for one of my guns. It wouldn't be much
    different than when the economy tanked and poeple were selling their firearms at bargain basement
    prices because they had to. When it comes to selling firearms, I bought the ones that I have because
    those are the ones that I wanted, if I found out that I didn't like one, I sold it. I only have one that I
    don't like very much but would not try to rip someone a new one if I did sell it.
    Just me and my monkey....

    LOL, try telling the SBR crowd that. We sold out of em in Houston at 599 this past weekend, one even went to a customer that had brought his (already SBR'd) to show friends. With the Dracos dried up, these have been a good seller even before the Conn incident.
