Duggan Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:31&item=7243415688 and my reserve has already been met. How ridiculous. I wonder how much higher it will go in the next 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Amazing! I could get a local machinist to make me one for less than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1014 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 amazing-- $63.00 in the summer of 03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradC Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Oh yea? Well I have one for sale for $700. It's TOTALLY worth the price. You have any idea how expensive aluminum is these days? And the amount of time it takes to lathe a 6 inch tube with shallow threading? You're paying strictly for the cost of materials and labor time. It has NOTHING at all to do with markup or hawking. I swear! [ 05-20-2006, 03:25 AM: Message edited by: Duggan ] I guess you decided to go with basic economics 101: Supply and Demand. Rather than the idiot response, its only made out of cheap aluminum. Or your "hawking", or "you can't mark it up" thats greedy. Or my favorite "I know a guy, who knows a guy who got some million dollar CNC equipment for Christmas he'll make one for $5.00. Last but not least, My uncle can whiddle one in under 5 minutes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Ahaha. Supply and demand = the reason I bought these in the first place when I'm already on the list for a military length tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradC Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Did ebay give you any problems posting the tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 They deleted it the first time, saying it violated the "no firearms" policy. I relisted a few days later, changed some words around, took the word "shotgun" completely out of my listing, and haven't had any problems yet. If you're going to put your extension on ebay, wait until mine is over, so that we can both exploit the poor hardworking people to the max by giving them only one route to +2 glory.

BradC Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Actually we could use both tubes to drive up the price even higher. Then we can be really bad and take advantage of emptying the wallets of these poor defenseless bidders on the open market where prices are set by demand.

tucker301 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 You boys need to hurry up and end those auctions before folks figure out that they can get +2 extensions from surecycle for $90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 aha. But then they aren't factory original equiptment with the all important matching finish! Which is totally worth 600 dollars more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
