$100 PMag

Obviously I do see the value in them. Hell, I'm contemplating buying 300-400 and selling them back to you guys in a year or two....

It just boggles my mind when you guys start spouting #### like 'Supply and Demand', yet you're the ones contributing to that buy buying up a big bulk box of 50-100 magazines.. And For what? Who the heck in their right mind is going to load up 20-50 magazines with 5 rounds each, and tote them all out to a range.. If you're honestly doing that... Then, I'm missing something, you're missing something upstairs or you're going to the range just to throw lead down range with no care in accuracy to see how fast you can change mags. Whatever reason you're going for, Good for you.


On the other hand, If you're just buying to flip them, I understand that. But to keep 100 magazines for yourself? Like... Do they break really easy or something? Are they only good for a couple hundred uses??

You guys are the ones driving the prices up by gobbling them up like they're candy.

Why do you really care?
What does it matter?
0 supply with max 10 demand equals higher prices...

Conclusion:
People are buying them because they feel they might not have them in the future and will most certainly not have them in near future in regular prices of say a few months ago. I suggest you get over it and buy what you need, people that are stocking up on mags are doing it for the future, as in the next 20 to 30 years to supply there needs. Now everyone has different reason and we can spend all day typing them out, but to me the feeling I'm getting from you is that are just angry because you don't have any or never bought enough of them when you had the opportunity to do it. Either way to bad for you and everyone else...

Now read this carefully over the next couple years some will trickle in from various sources, so when the opportunity is there you can either pick some up or pass on it. But whining or complaining about it will not change the reality that is now the new norm and will continue this way for a very long time as long as Obango keeps making speeches like last night. If you want this to go away and go back to 2011 prices say or better then you better be apart of the NRA/GOA and above those 2 gun orgs the CSSA/NFA as well.

"Money Talks BS walks"

This is how it is, and always will be....

Good luck bro.

I don't even own a PMAG, or anything that I could insert one into... Nor will I ever. Just to clear that up.

And I care because I'm part of this community.

I see people saying: "If I saw my LGS selling PMAGs for $100/piece, I'd turn around and walk out".

Then people like to get all mad and defensive when I ask a simple question. I'm not an Anti here.. I expected a little more respect from the people I share a hobby with.

Realistically, all you guys had to say was something like "I like the look of them, and I like the look of a big stack of them on the shelf in my room" or "I like to pretend I'm in the coolest movie, and I'm the awesome hero guy".

Anyway.. I wasn't trying to Attack you guys.. I was just honestly curious why you'd want/need so many?
Thanks all it was.

Holy .... Those were 12.99 in late September in West Virginia . I can't imagine what the US is going to look like if all the bans pass . I guess if people will pay $2000 for an unopened box of twinkies on Ebay, gun "collectors" should get their turn as well. Poor boogers . People will undoubtedly keep paying higher prices if things get scarce though ...
 
A month ago I went to my LGS and saw 11 Pmags on the shelf for the regular price.
I bought them all since I just bought 2 more AR's.
They were OD and FDE so I put the FDE on the EE for $50.00 each and bought black ones for the same price.
Last Monday I went back and he had 10 more Gen 2 Pmags again for $1.00 more than last time ($24.95).
I left them there for others to buy since I now have enough.

I could have bought them and put them on the EE but I'd rather see other buy them that need them.

If everyone would just buy what they needed rather than as many as they could afford to buy half of the problem would go away.
I don't believe a magazine limit ban can pass at this point so prices will eventually come back down.
 
I haven't read all the posts, as the couple pages I did read seemed like a dead horse beating and I lost interest.

I will say that Cheaper Than Dirt is already getting some flak on wavering in the face of anti-gun pressure and then gouging. I think they will see their business take a nose dive, at least among the black rifle crowd (assuming of course there still is a black rifle crown when the dust settles).
 
What if AT&T has no iphones to sell? Which is exactly what happens with every new product release? Price rises to meet demand. Those who wish to sell, do so at a profit. Those who wish to pay MSRP have to pay more money or wait for more product.

-----------------

You are a farmer. Wheat for delivery at harvest season is $4/bushel at the time you plant your wheat. Your cost to plant is $1/bushel and your cost to deliver to market is $1/bushel so come harvest you should make $2/bushel.

You do not sell forward and hedge your delivery.

Russians have a bad wheat harvest and there's flooding in the midwest. Many fields are damaged and the price of wheat at harvest is now $8/bushel.

If you sell your wheat at $8/bushel, are you price gouging?

-----------------

A: Gun dealer raises prices on PMAGS to $50. The going rate on EE is $50.

You can say that the dealer is price gouging because they were $15 yesterday, and I'd think you are a loon or you can say the dealer is adaptively pricing to market conditions which I'd say is appropriate.

B: Gun dealer raises prices on PMAGS to $75. The going rate on EE is $50.

You can say that the dealer is price gouging because they were $15 yesterday, and I'd think you are a loon or you can say the dealer is pricing higher than market market conditions which I'd say is their right but might not be something I would do.

C: Gun dealer raises prices on PMAGS to $95. The going rate on EE is $50 and puts up signs saying OBAMA AND LIBERALS ARE COMING FOR YOUR MAGS GET THEM WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

I think that is fear mongering and dishonest.

If people are willing to pay $40, and they pay $40 - fine.

If people are willing to pay $50, and they pay $50 - fine.

If people are willing to pay $80, and they pay $80 - fine.

You can't be the arbiter of what is fair or not - because fair, is constantly changing. When CTD wanted $60 and the going rate was $60 - I wouldn't pay it, but I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with asking market rate.

US Pmags: $100 now / $12.99 then = 7.7
Canadian .50 Beowulf mags: $250 now / $45 then = 5.6

hey im not judging, supply and demand is what it is, im sure you will get buyers. to me its not worth it for 6 extra rounds, but im sure others will disagree
 
I bought some .50 Beowulf mags form him and they are great mags! I had no problem paying the asking price and I got them right away. I'm happy.
 
You know what guys at the end of the day paying high prices on magazines may suck balls, but the truth is it doesn't matter the new PMags will last forever anyways, so my best advice is get a few of them and try and snag a few USGI at a more reasonable price and that will balance out. The european Pmag is suppose to be better or equal to the original version of the Pmags so you should be good there too..

It's going to be at least a 2 year recovery possibly longer with the Big O down South and then we don't know how long will have it CPC in power up here either...

So in comparing these to GI mags, are the feed lips and follower any different?
Click to expand...
The follower is ground down at the front (not sure why). The feed lip gap measures .480" at the back of the mag and 0.485" at the front. A USGI mag I compared with was 0.460" for the whole gap. Doesn't seem like a lot, but the .50 Beo rounds I have get hung up at the front of the USGI mag. YMMV with different mags though. If there's one thing all mags have in common, it's that they don't have all that much in common.
 
I came across one site that had "assh*** proof P-Mags". Meaning they were charging a competitive price for them( around $40) but anything over their usual price would be donated to the NRA institute for legislative action. Cool way to way to spend the extra dough.
