Ignore feature???

[tomme boy]

Do we have this available on this forum? I would like to add a few people to it if available. I am writing down names that are trying to price gouge on AR15 items on this board.

I think that if they are taking advantage of whats going on right now, they are no better than the people that did these things.

[Alan in Vermont]

It's there somewhere, I have one jerk on it now. I locked him out under the old system but it's still in effect so I assume it is available on the new one.

User CP-Edit Ignore List

[45FP]

The only time I tried using ignore on another forum it wouldn't work, kept getting the message " you can't place moderators on ignore"
Those mods were the only reason to have ignore IMO!

I understand what you are getting at, but dont be too hard. Right or wrong, we all make our own decisions and I am not interested in selling anything I have, so I am not in that group. BUT.... if they are selling what they have now even at an elevated price, it is nothing compared to what they would get when the ban does go in. And I hate to say it, but it is coming. No one can deny that the anti-gunners have all the ammo they need to mess with us. Our biggest asset is comprimise. Ya got Conetticuit school thing, then the fire fighter massacre, and several other shootings in the last month. We just cannot fight all the facts as hard as we would try. The gun shops charging 2000.00 for a rifle that cost 700.00 two weeks ago are no better. And in a month from now, we would gladly pay 2000.00 to get our hands on the last of the civilian rifles that may be banned.
Thank you for being a good person, and I mean it. I am not even close to being sarcastic or trying to be funny. I am with you, but just try to be understanding. Even the rifles I have that cost me about 400.00 to build two years ago I would not sell for 2000.00 today. But I do see your point.

If you ignore staff messages here, you won't need to worry about THAT too long! We deal with that, with extreme prejudice!

Click on the persons profile. It will have it right there to click on. I guess I should have looked a little harder.

The mods here do a great job, and are regular joes like us all. They have a tedious, hectic kind of a job, that sometimes is a thankless job, and they use up a lot of their time just sitting in the background cleaning up threads and booting the spammers and all other thugs that get in on here to keep it a family oriented forum....

Now just to figure out a way to get them all riled up that they fly to S IN, have me pick them up at the airport, take them back to the house and we can all sit in the shop and tell a bunch of tall tales and do some :drinks: :bigsmyl2:

[btroj]

I only used the ignore feature on one person and he is no longer with us.

Ignore the Mods? Only at your own peril. They don't need to be ignored here, they do a darn fine job. This isn't a site with over active Mods.

Look at your, or any other members profile page and check to see who the last 10 visitors were. If you see a bunch of Moderator names, you, or they, have piqued our interest.

"Don't call me Shirley"

[scb]

I don't understand why people get so outraged over this. In our system (capitalism) the seller sets a price for something THEY OWN. If you don't like it don't buy it, simple enough. Since when (other than auctions) do buyers get to dictate prices? BTW I don't have anything for sale.

I must agree , even though I think it is in bad taste to say the least.I think the sellers would be better off going to eBay.It seems that most members here have already learned from the past and are prepared.I also can't help but think about what made them sell.It could be for some other reason than just to profit from a terrible tragedy.The main point is what scb posted, it is theirs to price as they see fit.
I do like the thread that provides info for where to buy and who has them in stock.Here is a link to the mako group website.

With me being the swapping and selling moderator it is not my place or any one else's other than the seller to set the price THEY want for a item regardless if I think it's to low or to high. The free market system works here to if the price is to high no one buys simple as that if the price is to low well it's gone quick works both ways. steve k swapping and selling moderator

G&R Tactical has 32 rd Colt 9mm Carbine magazines in stock for $65.00 apiece. My mom (god bless her 50 year old self) owns one and just ordered a couple.

God help the thugs that may think it is a good idea to target or pick on that small old lady.

If you put yourself on the ignore list will you cease to exist?

No, but you won't be able to 'hear' yourself, anymore.
Then you'll never know what you're talking about.

Although I certainly do understand the basic economic principles of supply and demand, in this day and age, considering what WE, as gun owners, are facing in the near future, I would rather see fellow shooters helping their shooting brothers by making sought-after items available to each other at fair prices, not super-inflated prices. I would prefer those who are inflating their prices on sought-after items (like AR mags) to post those items for sale elsewhere and NOT on OUR swap n sell, that's all. I always feel like swap n sell is our place to sell and trade to our brothers here, not to be hijacked by carpetbaggers, interlopers and opportunists who are very new to the forum and clearly joined up only to profit from a "target audience". I have a feeling I am NOT alone in this perspective.......

Nope dont want to pique anyones interest. But I did go look. Looks like gunload master was visiting my profile page though.

I'd just like to see all you mods get together under 1 roof and get to actually know each other. You all do an amazing job, and you all need an acknowledgement of how good a job you guys do, and to keep up the good work.

[oneokie]

Drop into Chat sometime.

[Gliden07]

I agree with you!! Its ok to make a couple bucks on things but to GOUGE the way some are on this site is just rotten.

Is 5 out of 10 good or bad?

I got 1....I'll call that good!

Might have to start dropping into chat. tried it once and had a good time, but thats been a yr ago at least

No, but you won't be able to hear yourself, but we will. Then we would have to let you know what you said.

The Government that robs from Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul.
When Peter has been so thoroughly robbed that he no longer exists, that Government will enjoy it's last meal when it devours Paul.

What happens when Pauls been devoured?? Do we start over?

[Blammer]

well, I suppose you better add me, I'm selling a few mags at current market price.

[runfiverun]

the prices on ar magazines at the sportsmans today, were exactly the same as the last time i was there.
they didn't have any [not even 5 or 10 round magazines], or any glock,or xd magazines either, they have a lot of 45 acp and ruger magazines though.
they did have primers out,and bullets,and powder, and even some brass.
the powder i bought was even 6 bucks cheaper than the last time i bought it.
and they had a lot of 7.62x39 ammo 45 acp etc....
it looked like someone had picked over their loaded cheap shotgun shells pretty well though.

[PS Paul]

[fatboy]

if the price is more than i am willing to pay, I dont Buy it. If I am asking to much, dont buy it. I dont have time or the reason to judge others for the deals they make, That is none of my business.

[Springfield]

Price gouging, what an interesting concept. If I had some AR mags that I was willing to part with(which I don't) and some idiot on e-bay was willing to pay me an exhorbitant price for them I would sell them. To me price gouging is selling something that is a necessary item, like food, and selling it WAY over regular prices because for some reason it became scarce, and letting someone buy more than they needed just because they had the money and wanted to keep it all to themselves when others are in desperate need of it. AR mags are NOT a necessary item.

Well said Sir!

[jethunter]

Price gouger should refer to people who overcharge for basics like food and shelter during times of disaster. Otherwise it's just free enterprise.

On the other hand - how many of us have looked at a really low price and said - "I'm not buying that because the seller isn't making enough profit on it."? That doesn't happen too often, I bet.

Most of us don't worry about the seller going bankrupt or getting less than market value. But we get huffy when we think somebody is over charging simply because we ourselves are also opportunistic and want to pay as little as possible.

The "gougers" don't give a darn about us in the same way we don't give a darn about the seller who sells too low. We all try to get the best deal we can and I'm no different.

If it's too expensive don't buy it. If enough people feel the same way then prices will drop. If people do keep buying then you were wrong and missed the boat.

As a Canadian who saw the AR-15 go to "restricted and registered" status some 10-15 years ago, all I can say is that if I could go back in time and buy a non-registered AR15 for $2000 - I'd buy five. You won't miss the money.

Just my $.02.
