I know it has been said and made fun of before but I gotta say it again! What is with the crazy prices on th EE? There is a guy on there now with your standard 54 russian sks for sale for $225 plus shipping, as the young folks would say WTF! Tradeex has them on for $169. Do people actually but these guns off the EE from strangers? at$70 above the going price, when they can get a nice one from our respected dealers for much less with no risk?? Some people think that because they bought the gun, it automaticlly becomes gold when the opposite is true! Rant over, buyer beware!
 
You don't have to buy it if you don't want to.

Price too high, pass

Lots of stuff on the EE is over priced, some stuff is a great deal. You have to do your homework

Hmmm, EE talk again...... At least Im IBTL. If you dont like it then dont buy it. If the seller really needs the money he will eventually lower his price.

For sale old single shot Lakefield 22 passed down from my Grandpa. Only misfires 40% of the cheap at $400. I know this sounds high but IT was owned by my Grandpa and Me, so that doubles the value. Pics on request, no low ballers.

Sorry just had to do it, back to the Rum
 
How about an AA Beowulf clip, for 250 bucks. Seller does have a point, though.
If he sells them any cheap, the buyers would just flip them for the inflated price.
 
It's just the nature of people, I know people that would rip off their own mothers to make a buck.

It's alright though because a) you look like a fool for trying to sell so high and b) you are a bigger fool if you pay for it.

The days of working for a profit are gone, folks figure if you can click a mouse that you deserve to turn a profit.
 
You said clip. Clips are used to load ammunition into magazines. The terms are not the same.

As for SKS prices, you can get a Chinese for 75 bucks, russians from 168 to 450 and up depending on year and refurb vs non refurbed. Prices vary with the ups and downs of import costs at the dealer level. Who is to say what that guy on the EE bought his for.

Yeah, stripper clips are used to load magazines. Regular clips are put in magazine wells, with the bullets already in them.

With Marstars deal, you have to buy the ammo with it, and pay for shipping. Ends up well over 400 bucks, depending on were you live.
Better off buying from TradeEx, you get the ammo and a Russian for about the same price.
 
Out west we call them a clip. Magazine is something you read in the outback. In over 50 years living in Alberta I never once heard anybody call it a magazine. Was always the clip.
 
I see them here in the city for $250.00 plus, yes you can buy them online from our dealers for really good prices but many people also drive to a local store and pay more and then expect to recover most or all of that cost on the EE.
