I am sorry , but I still don't understand your point Glo7, a house is $450K - you need a place to house your family, you buy a house. You say you never will buy at that price- well fine - go and rent a place to house your family. If that is a good economic move for you while you wait for house prices to collapse to $50,000, then have at her.
Trouble is -- house prices go up and down but rarely go to extremely low values but for mining towns whose vein drys up.
M14s are a luxury item that if someone wants to buy - they buy. It makes no sense to have one anyways (especially to antigun folk). The price is what it is. It may rise , it may fall. Anyone who thinks their M14 is their retirement fund is a bit wierd. They are a rifle that will be used (or not) and eventaully languish in a corner, get modified, played with, broken, lost, nurtured or whatever------ it is a rifle.
If you want to pay $1500 for a stock for it -- go ahead! What the heck kind of economic sense does that make? It is fun --- why or why do people want to take a fun thing and turn it into some crusade for fairness and the lowest possible price ......
Here is a little secret....... some people do not care about what they spend on the things that they enjoy...maybe they can afford it , maybe they cant,... maybe they always wanted one since they were a kid. It is about choice and if a product sells at some inflated price - oh well.
Why drink a $250 bottle of single malt scotch when a good ole bottle of cc will do fine....boy that scotch is overpriced and I bet if I phone a manufacturer and buy it all up I can make money selling it also....
oh - I must be tired to argue this out.
