So why are mags so expensive?

...... there are the increased costs of doing business in Canada. Mind you, I've already mentioned this... but instead of actually responding to it, you ignore it and continue the whine fest.

I wasn't responding to any of your posts, that could be why?
Seems like you are whining because no one is listening to you.
You are just arguing with yourself.

Also, why the dealers continually welcome people to start up their own businesses and charge half what they do for the same item is because they know that they won't be able to do it, as they are nothing but armchair commandos. Unless you aren't all talk... and if that is the case, when are the $1000 Colt 6920's coming in? I'll take 2.

I'm trying to find the part where I said I was opening a Firearm Store and selling Colt 6920's for $1000? Can you quote that for me? Point it out maybe.....

There you go again, fabricating a discussion just so you can argue and whine.

Well, I'd already addressed the issue you brought up before, so is it unreasonable to assume that someone has read the thread before posting?

I could swear you said somewhere that AR's could be sold at par with the U.S....

That is why no one sells the Remington R15's or R25's. They are a great Rifle and only $1100 and $1400. Funny thing is...they are priced the same as in the U.S. That PROVES AR's can be sold at PAR!
S&W M&P 15 should also be par.

When they take a $1300USD Rifle and say....'Oh, this is hard to get....$2300CDN"
We should NOT buy it and tell them to get lost





Well, No. They don't like competition. It eats into their Margins.
If I am sell $2100 AR's.....then have to lower them to $1800 because someone else brings in the same manufacturer. I would not be happy.
If someone starts selling $1000 AR's....I would be pissed.

Ah, THERE it is!

But right, you just like to whine about how other people operate their businesses, but aren't willing to nut up and do something about it, trying to make a decent living selling guns at prices you think is reasonable (on par with the U.S.). You talk a lot, but aren't willing to put your money where your mouth is.
 
I still don't see where I said Colts for $1000. You are taking things out of context and pretty much making s**t up.

Just like 'like to whine about how other people operate their businesses'.... Where is that?

2 post directly related to something I said...and neither have any actual merit.
I want my 5 minutes back.

I'll get ahead and forget about this thread...........

:p

But those guys actually bill for time. Just like your auto mechanic , masseur or dentist.

You could include a separate line on your invoices. $1.99 to write an invoice?
.49 cents to ring something through the cash register at the front desk? :cool:

I should do that.

$7.99 for every time I reply to a US vs Canada pricing thread :D

Then I'd have my Aston Martin for sure ;)

You said that AR's can be sold at par with U.S. prices, that's where I got it from. New Colt's go for around $1k in the States.

That sounds to me like you're whining about how people up here are running their businesses, no? If an item is hard to get, market forces push up the price. If it was easy to get, and could be sold for a decent profit at $1300, why wouldn't many dealers be bringing them in and selling them for that price?
