LOL yea ok...
So this has been a great year for gun pimping. It's just that I can't get new guns to stock cause of MFR covid controls and all the "mostly peaceful" protests put the demand on a lever never seen. The political shift effect has yet to hit. So I'm running the table on used guns and when I get one new or used it's selling instantly. So go figure ammo is even worse. What was a $9 box of 9mm is now $40-???+ IF you can find it. I tried to buy directly from a major maker and the 20k rounds sold out before I could finish logging in.
Some people don't realize how nutZ this market is. Guy looking for AK ammo, I look and it's jumping up $ again to just stupid levels. But I find some that were a great $ even before that bump. Stress get it now. He does get some.
4 days later, the wholesaler catches up with the market and then some. I let the guy know he's lucky to get what he did.
"oh I want more can you ask them to honor the old price"
N
"oh ok...."

Guy wants to quickly sell a gun to get something else he has bee up his ass about and just has to do it that day. This guy was a pain before so I'm not that much in a mood I was running some errands and couldn't really look up what it was worth. He is also going to inc some holsters and AMMO. Woot the $ is right any pistol I can sell With ammo will go! See above normally I could care less about the ammo but he shows a pic of in this market almost $150 of ammo. 3 big boxes and 1 small.
All through text messages, I try to work out a $, but he wants A LOT more than it's really worth..guy thinks I will pay full retail for used. BUT I could really use this in stock and could make some $$, But I decline he's just tooo high and I got stuff to do. Finally 10min later he agrees to my $. It's not as good as I did before on the Glock but I can work it. I will keep the small box for my Wilfes new carry.
THEN he wants me to drive 45min each way to him in a city cause his car does not do well in the pouring rain we are having. WUT? NO. More back and forth and he will meet me outside of the city a little closer to me. Fine. I swing home to grab and cash and my receipt book.
I get almost there find out the 3rd has less than half in it. I should have bailed but fuckit, I called him out of his BS and I should give him less. He stammers and says it's bad ammo and bla bla, I through the BS flag I use that brand for match shooting and it holds it's own vs ammo 4x it's cost. So I do some quick math and I could still salvage the deal. So fuck it I get it. But I'm over this fuckstick.
He kept hitting me up for ammo for the new gun he got. I didn't even look..
Being my price was a bit more than normal it didn't go right away and things were slowing for Xmas. It sat. Like the last one I got from him, 2 weeks later he wanted it back. Trade for the gun he got with the ammo he found on his own. - YEA NO.
It has sold and I was able to do ok in it.
Last pistol I got from him was not this much of a cluster but still a pain, he also wanted that one back. New stock gets offered to the inner circle first and I post it to the public. Also thought the wife would want it. Soon as he asked to get it back I posted it in the open and it sold 15min later. I loved texting back nope sold...right before you asked...
Related rant..I still love UPS/FEXEX leaving guns and silencers that require adult sig on the step or with my 16yo "cause of covid"
