Crazy bidding on Gunbroker

[The Crisco Kid]

The first bidder probably bid $280 as a max bid, but since the auction started at $250 his max bid wasn't applied.

I guess that makes sense. I'm just out of step with all this modern stuff. Including how to delete a post that I just made!

Editing time is 30 minutes for regular members but I don't know what it is for supporting members. To talk about conversion cylinders go to our sister site "modern muzzleloading".

Panic buying, yes. On the other hand there is reasonable expectation that democrats will continue to assault the second amendment, and that firearms related issues will continue to be inimical to firearms owners. Most of us can see this trend continuing to the eventual ruination of the second amendment.

Sad but true.

Maybe we could make guns out of toilet paper! Talk about rare. Think how much money THEY would go for!

remember that for every A$$, there is a toilet seat & for every toilet seat there is an A$$!!

View attachment 67144I doubt they would be worth a manure if you did. Maybe if you used Bounty, They may become a quick picker upper. Let’s examine that shall we?View attachment 67145View attachment 67145

there you go! IT LIVES!! just when you thought you have seen every thing?? remember, never leave home with out toilet paper, in case you get caught short??

Yes, you are missing stupidity.....Back when you could sell guns on eBay, I sold a lot to New York for way more money than they were worth. I just chalked it up to in inability to get them locally.

stupid is as stupid does!!

An old farmer told me he never goes to auctions, once people start bidding they loose track of the cost.

You are 100% right, people think its a deal because they are at a auction and just keep bidding. I brought a sheep once at a auction, taught me not to talk with my hands.

Just indicate SOLD, or whatever in the remarks on your auction and Zonie or one of the moderators will see and change it

Save toilet paper. Eat more cheese.

I was selling a gun on gunbroker not too long ago. I listed a starting price along with a buy it now. A guy emailed me offering me $25 more than the buy it now price if I’d close the auction and sell it to him. I felt bad for stupid and told him just to hit the instant sale button.

 

[vintovka]

Been watching the net auctions and many now think ANY price is good compared to being totally unable to legally obtain stuff in near future. Hard to disagree at this point but the downsides of prohibition comes to mind.

Do not sell anything yet. Wait a few months if you have revolvers. The reason that
BP revolvers are valuable is that there is often little or no record of them. There is little
need to regulate them. They will serve for a last-ditch defensive gun but are not
effective for gangland battles. They are low on the list of dangerous weapons.
Also the items needed to make them go bang are more difficult to regulate. I do
not think the conv-cylindrs are an issue. The guns are ballistically equal with the
original percussion cylinders. People on gun broker get excited and pay door buster
prices foolishly. BUT WITH INFLATION RUNNING WE ALL WILL PAY MORE.

Sadly i see this as true. BP revolvers of any flavor may be up double if not more. Those with conversion cylinders even more. We are in for some sad if not scary times ahead.

my experience with MRE'S is that the toilet paper companies don't make enough of it for human consumption after eating them!!!??

Most of the time they bound me up. I’d put out dry hard deer pellets practically, which wasn’t such a bad thing really given the miserly little bit of TP they contained.

Well, we've gone from Gunbroker to discussing pooping. Looks like this thread has run its course.

remember that for every A$$, there is a toilet seat & for every toilet seat there is an A$$!!

If that were true there would never be a line to use a bathroom. I believe we have too many A$$e$ in the world, and many who think that the world is their toilet. Luckily for the rest of us, many of us don’t have a pot to P in, and really don’t give a $_____. Lol.
