If you reread my original message and my responses to jonnyguns, you should see that I've bent over backwards to be reasonable and respond reasonably to his attacks. I've thanked you, MrMilitaryPolice, for intervening with your reasonable responses. I'll thank you again now. Sometimes things that we do with good intentions go wrong. I'm happy to entertain reasonable offers for the part and we'll sell it elsewhere if need be. I've obviously given offense and I apologize for it. It should be obvious that it's not what I intended at the beginning of this thread. If you want to continue beating me up I can't stop you. I hope that your sense of fairness will decide you against doing it.

When my partner reviewed this message thread she was disturbed by jonnyguns' comments. She decided that the best way to remove any suspicion that we are price gouging is to revise the price so that it is keyed to the current eBay auction for the same part: Benelli Ext. Tube Fits M4 and M1014 +2 Extension. We will sell the part for 10% less than the latest bid (plus shipping) on that eBay auction. The market now sets the price and we are giving a significant discount off the market price. The latest eBay bid is $390 (plus $10 shipping). At the present time, therefore, the price for our part is now $360. We'll honor that price unless or until the bids increase. We will still include shipping in our price. The eBay auction ends on April 20, 2007, at 12:52 PDT. That's a little more than five days from now. If you want the part I suggest that you buy it from us now (before the bids get higher) by e-mailing me at [email protected]. I'm truly sorry that jonnyguns messed up the offer we made in good faith. We thought it was a generous offer in light of the market price for this part and we were trying to do something generous for Benelli owners in this forum.

Silly boy. On eBay right now the current bid for this same Benelli part is $340. The seller is charging an additional $10 for shipping. That is $350 right now. There are still 5-1/2 days to go on that auction. If the current bid wins the auction, he will pay $100 more for this same part than for the one we've offered. Here's the link to that auction: Benelli Ext. Tube Fits M4 and M1014 +2 Extension. Of course we know that we can get more for this part on eBay than we're asking for it here. Grownups who are reading your silly comments and who have been looking for this part know it too. Someone suggested that it would be a nice thing to offer the part in the Benelli USA forum at the price we paid so that a Benelli fan who wants the original Benelli part won't have to make the same hunt we had to make for it. It seemed like a good idea. We hadn't thought that an immature person would attack us for it because he doesn't understand that many people prefer to have only factory parts on an expensive shotgun for resale purposes and other reasons. MrMilitaryPolice, thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it. If someone here wants the part in a reasonable period of time we're still willing to take less here than we could get for it on eBay or elsewhere.

Try to behave like an adult in public, or at least like a well behaved teenager. Adults might want to look at http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showpost.php?p=73665&postcount=1 to see that the price range for this Benelli part is reasonable. He thought so, we thought so, and the person who bought his part thought so too. We thought that people in the Benelli USA forum should be interested in the original Benelli part and should have first crack at it. There are people who want to have all original parts. If no one here wants this one, we'll either sell it elsewhere or put it in inventory. We don't see any reason to take a loss because you choose to have a temper tantrum.

For sale is Benelli's own two round magazine extension for the M4. It is the Benelli USA factory original part in its original packaging. The Benelli part number is 81043P. The Benelli USA label with the part number is on the reverse of the packaging. The factory packaging is still sealed. This is not one of the cheap aftermarket parts sold on some auction sites. Keep your Benelli all Benelli USA while you gain 2 additional rounds in the magazine tube. You can use your original Benelli M4 magazine spring with this two round extension Factory original Benelli M4 extensions are hard to find since Benelli USA stopped selling them. We had to buy two to get the one we needed. This is the one we don't need. It's perfect of course. The price is $250.00 by U.S. Postal Money Order only. We will ship it by UPS ground anywhere in the continental U.S.A. at no extra cost. You pay the cost if you want it shipped insured or faster. (We won't sell or ship outside the U.S.A.) We ship as soon as we cash your U.S. Postal Money Order. To buy it please e-mail us directly at [email protected]. Note: The price quoted above has been revised.
