It'd be nice to see Roksliders not price gouge their fellow community members. I bought 2 of the SWFA 3-9 a couple years ago. I sold both of them here for retail, including shipping. It just doesn't feel good to make a profit on items like that. But to each their own.
I don’t disagree and I’m not advocating price gouging or taking advantage of others.

My point was simply that historically people got banned or threats of being banned for questioning prices. And now we are threatening banning because of prices Simply because it’s a rokstock. Seems like some consistency would be nice.

I used SWFA as an example but there are a ton of items on here that get sold well over what they cost new.

If we’re going to start price fixing can we also take a look at Fieldcraft while we’re at it? Cause I’d love one of those but they’re going for $500+ over what they were new as well

Same reason primers are 10 cents each now.

Free market… but shooters are just kicking other shooters in the balls with the grab and sell.

I would have bought one to use. I wasn’t fast enough.
I have no issue with the free market. The only issue I have is that everyone on Rokslide knows that there's lots of people waiting to get their hands on their first Rokstok. And they were dropped right in the middle of hunting season. I'm not sure I'd ban the guy, but he is certainly going on my "no dealings" list.

Gotta say, using the term "gouging" for what is essentially a luxury item is kinda goofy guys. Time is an element of pricing. If you need(or think you need) something RIGHT NOW, then you're gonna pay a premium. And now you can't, because the attempted seller was punished for being offensive. I recall seeing in this very thread that people were saying they'd be willing to pay $XX over retail if they could have a rokstok sooner.
