I know many of us have a good laugh at the start of the day with the humor posted by BR & others. I often get a good cynical guffaw by checking to see if my favorite fools are still listing the same items at the same prices. There are two guys who have been listing .45 ammo on various sites for the past 2-3 years who seem convinced that because it is older than they are, it must be loaded w/ platinum bullets. One looks for $5 - $10 a round for ammo loaded for WW I, the other for $40 a box for steel cased WW II vintage. Then there's the fellow who is obsessed with the idea that commercial .30-06 ammo from the 1950s is worth $100 a box. Every so often, just to stir the pot, I will email them offering to sell them some replacement stock for 25% of their opening bids. After all, they must be selling a bunch of it to continue offering it at these prices, right? I figure, hey, I would make a great profit & so would they, but they've never been too interested . . . some are actually rude and defensive about it . . . I'm just trying to help them, ya know?

In any case, playing head game with maroons is kinda fun while the coffee is brewing . . . almost makes it an even contest . . . .

    I have notice the same thing. What are these guys thinking.

    If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.

    Teak, I think you just like the confrontation with "those types"
    Nothing like stirring the pot to get your day started off.

    A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.

    Justin,

    MOI??? Confrontational? Instigator? MOI???

    Now, just 'cuz turkey is one of my favorite meals, don't you go inferrin' nothin'! BTW, I may be down in your neck of the woods (+/-) middle of September; might be possible to buy you a coffee?

    ccasey612, "thinking" is, perhaps, the politically correct term for their thought processes.
