EE craziness… now I’ve seen it all.

It's always about pricing.

I sold two Rem. 700 in the last month within a couple of days of posting.
Better than anything currently listed and $50 cheaper.
The 700's listed then are still listed.

People are incredibly cheap and walk over a few dollars.

Both guns were approx $1500 and neither buyer even bothered withvthe extra $20 or $25 for insurance.

That's being cheap and not smart.

Apparently Canada Post insurance on firearms is a waste of time, they will fight you tool & nail not to pay you a dime. I will never buy CP insurance ever again.

Some of the CP workers have a very poor attitude now that they are back to work. I had one female CP worker that was very rude and unprofessional when she asked if I was shipping a firearm, I had made my own label at home and was not shipping a firearm. She was an absolute b!tch.......:( I am contemplating filing a complaint, although I do feel their pain in dealing with a corrupt Corporation like CP and it's slimy Liberal Government.

It's my opinion that CP firearms insurance is a waste of effort and money, but everyone has to make their own decision........:)

I was at a gun show back in the 90's where a guy had a 50 cal single shot with 10k for a price tag.
He had guys talking about it and the orice.
He never sold it because he liked talking about it to much.
How do I know this, well because for the next two gun shows he had it on the table and finally when the Chilliwack show became the one to go to he was there with that very same gun...
Anyways, atnoaction will always be a thing.

1990's... single shot 50 bmg... 10k price tag...
You might as well just call Rick from ATRS out by name. ;)

Anyone who knows him and reads this will laugh, and agree.
 
My primary focus is Milsurps, and while some of this crazy pricing is definitely based around greed, I think the bigger culprit is just plain old ignorance.

Many sellers just really have no idea what they have, the quality of the item they have (its usually worse than they think), or the market for what they have. They price by feel or because they remember seeing something similar (to their eyes) for a big $$$ and then think there rifle or whatever must be worth the same or more!

"No dangerous goods, legally mailable matter"

They ask so they can make a determination if it contains dangerous goods.

They phrase the question wrong.

The chick that asked me if it was a firearm wanted an extra $3.00 for a signature requirement, which I gladly would have paid but she stated I would have to go back home, redo my shipping label and try to get a refund for the $80.00 I had already paid.

I live an hour from the city, I was not shipping a firearm, and the address was a post office box which usually requires a signature. I'm not sure what her problem was, but she just wanted to be difficult I guess. When I stood up to her and said no, she flipped out, all the while yelling at me and my wife as we walked out the door.

So I went and mailed it somewhere else!....:) LOL

I understand their frustrations, but!.......:(

If the abuse and attitude continues, I'll go back to using FedEx. The cost is similar, and you do not tell these people what your shipping. Even if it is a firearm.

Soon there will be no option available to ship any firearms in Canada, way too WOKE I'm afraid........:(
 
5 or 6 bumps. Like the Idiot I've had to deal with lately. Obviously after 6 bumps, & you haven't given a price break since your initial EE ad..= your price is shiit. Even though you are Firm.That's all I need to know about someone. .

There are thousands of fairly priced guns and accessories listed for sale, these far outweigh tge number of moronic prices out there.
There's almost 10000 guns listed for sale on g unpozt 2500 scopes and 5000 accessories like barrels, stocks, etc

There are also hundreds on this site.

Not many are stupid priced, but many overpriced, priced like retail etc.

Decent prices by normal people are also out there.
 
Meh don’t like the price don’t pay, welcome to the free market where the seller can list at whatever price they want and you can offer at whatever price you want.

You think the EE prices are bad, you been on Switzers lately? I've witnessed a ton of head scratching prices on things.

Biggest difference being one is a asking price, the other is the sale price. Crazy what some people are willing to pay, but all the power to them.

The latest wacko posting. $12K for a basic M1 Garand ex-grenade launching rifle that’s been sanded and the grenade sight mount holes doweled over by bubba.

Is it me, or does the EE get more absurd with each passing day?

Why do you care???? The owner can ask $120,000 if he/she likes. As the owner that is their prerogative. If it is more that you think is worth, just move on.
