This way of profiteering is pretty standard among douche bags I have crossed paths with. Yup, I said it. And I stand by the remark.
Harley's was pretty much the same thing for a while. Everybody wanted one and they were sold out so the flippers and carpet baggers jumped in with both feet. Pretty much wrecked the market for those of us that actually wanted to ride them. Bike shops sprang up everywhere and proceeded to rape and pillage. Only a handful remain.
Muscles cars were next. Snake oil salesmen came out of the wood work and are still operating but not as lucrative these days. Same deal. "Restoration" shops opened, robbed and closed.
Sandyhook brought the side show carny crowd out in force. Lined up to snatch all the .22 they could and it was on line at 4 to 5 times what they paid for it.
Now, who is at fault here. Reality shows that if a market opens up......some dip weed will milk it dry.
There was a decent amount of that here, including lowers, parts, mags & accessories. Lots of flippers that wanted their share of the pie. I still have a list, I still won't deal with anyone on it. Most of the flippers then are still flippers & squatters now.
