I'll take the over.I’m setting the over/ under at $239.515 once it hits the classifieds.
Are you serious?I collect and sell premium mint condition Glock Pre Ban mags.
My customers and I demand excellence and pay a premium to have a clear conscience and stay out of jail.
For myself and my customers we only want the best mags money can buy.
The NH FFL's I called today suck.
They don't care about Massachusetts customers.
I even offered to drive up there and pick up the mag.
I don't think they are taking a big risk for $20.
Live Free or Die, my ass.
Cowards!
Fixed it for you.Are you NUTS ?
Fixed it for you.
You don't even have to open a box up. You can call and tell them you are shipping a package to them and pay a one time package only fee alof $5 at pick upGo rent a mailbox in a UPS store in NH. Ship it there. Cancel box
FIFYBut he won't be able to sell a $50 mag for $200. It's all about the #, no disrespect toReppyRapey. Money is money.
In his defense though most of the people buying that stuff are retarded themselves so one hand washes the other.
In my mind, that makes it worse. Preying on the uniformed or weak minded. It is predatory, and therefore unethical. Almost as bad as telephone scammers or the rich African Prince emails.Bottom line is Reptile has a right to set his own market. If people are stupid enough to spend a shit ton of money on an old unreliable mag without doing their research then F'k em, it's on them
So, does that mean you won't be sending him a PM with your mailing address to accept his magazines?Are you serious?

I'm just following the law and filling a niche.
Call it whatever you want, I call it lazy and stupid
If your looking to buy anything that your not all that familiar with and don't do your research beforehand? Even though you have no idea what your doing?
Well then that's on you.
The first AK I bought was a busted up piece of shit that I was told was a preban and worth what I was paying
After I got familiar with what the hell I was doing I realized it wasn't a preban and it could have been bought for about 5-600 dollars cheaper elsewhere
I laughed about it and it was shame on me for not doing my research.
Magazines are a different animal, there are a lot of people out there who want the magical 15 or 17 round mags and feel all safe about carrying them without the threat of getting jammed up legally, right wrong or indifferent in Mass your taking a chance carrying standard cap mags, that's just the way it is
I got my LEOSA creds and I won't even carry anything with more than 10 rounds in Mass, and not a chance I'm buying a gay preban Glock mag but that's my choice, if someone else wants to pay $500 for a 17 round Glock mag from 1992 then they are free to do so.
Call it whatever you want, I call it lazy and stupid
So.... YOU, were lazy and stupid?The first AK I bought was a busted up piece of shit that I was told was a preban and worth what I was paying
Yes I was,So.... YOU, were lazy and stupid?
Your Schick here is to be funny as we all know so I'm not entirely sure if your trying to be funny or your just posting a friggin stupid example?So, a person shows up to a shop, gets sold on a $2K repair when the car only needed a $40 oil change.
I guess the fault is on the person for not being a car expert and the shop ripping people off is totally fine. Right?
Please, go post that in every thread complaining about how dealerships scam people.
I have a person who has a Pre Ban Glock mag I want in another state.
They refuse to ship to Mass even though it's pre ban.
I called a half dozen NH FFL's and they don't want to accept the mag even though I'm offering money to transfer to me.
I can offer $20 to a FFL or individual and $10 to accept and then ship me the mag.
Please let me know if you know anybody.
I am not being funny.Your Schick here is to be funny as we all know so I'm not entirely sure if your trying to be funny or your just posting a friggin stupid example?
That's like a guy looking for a pre ban mag and being talked into buying a pre ban gen 1 or 2 Glock for four seasons prices because the mag will only work in that gun.
Most of the rape preban Glock mags are sold in NES classifieds I would think, if a new member comes on here and sees a mag from 1992 for whatever rape price and buys it without asking any questions or doing any research I'd say it's on that person for not trying to do any research.
You and everyone else can disagree with me all you want. I see your side of it but I also see another side of it.
This topic gets brought up every now and then and for some reason free market gets shit on, why don't you post up outside of four seasons and tell every sucker that goes in there looking for a pre ban Glock to buy that they can do better elsewhere if you feel this strong about it
I'm not saying it's ok but a little self responsibility goes a long way.I am not being funny.
Your argument seems to be that if you don't know what you are dealing with, it is OK if you are taken advantage of.
A seller lying and crearing fear is still a scumbag. I think we can agree on that, just like that shop was a scumbag to you.I'm not saying it's ok but a little self responsibility goes a long way.
To your oil change example, I brought my Honda into a garage to get an oil change years ago and this scumbag owner had me rung up for a $1000 flush of all the fluids in my car and other shit that I had zero clue about, I had the guy ring it up.and guess what? I drove my car to another garage and was told an entirely different story and saved myself $940 for doing a little research.
Same rules apply. Agree or disagree that's your choice
