Mentally Challenged Individuals on Gunbroker

[J-B welder]

There used to be a coin auction site called TeleTrade that had their computer set up to autobid [they called it incremental bid] in order to boost the price.

ebay has that, too. I figure whoever came up with the idea was a genius, and anyone who uses it is an idiot.

Currently on Gunbroker they've bid a box of 6.5 Accubond LR 142's bullets for reloading up to $190 for qty 100, when there are 2 other auctions ongoing with buy it now prices of $135 and $160 for the same exact thing.

Im sorry, but some people are just too dumb to be reloading.

wow! time to sell some components!

Having shopped on eBay for years, there are idiots or novice buyers that have NO idea about bidding or stategies. They see someone out bid them, so they bid again, and there are days to go before auction ends. Looking at the bidding trail will give you a clue if there is shill involved or stupid bidding.

Guys and Girls, I deal every day with Gunbroker but the buyers out there now make me wonder about there sanity over 800.00 for a case of 6.5 Creedmoor Hornady 143 ELD-X Crazy people.

Wonder if I can sell these fools all my spent primers. Lol

 

[bullet man]

I deal with it every day myself and I love it my pocketbook is overflowing.

I sure am glad I got into reloading when prices were still sane and primers were only $100 for a box of 1000.

You can't fix stupid. You can only sedate it and hope they stop talking .
Just my experience.
Had a friend who's saying was too many stupid people. Not enough bullets. Little extreme if you ask me. Generally Darwin gets them first; get to save your ammo.

What's the old saying -

I can remember buying a case for that price, and complaining that they were "overpriced".

I had to pay $60 shipped for a 1000 215 FGMM primers in January 2013 after the Dec. 2012 incident. I thought that was highway robbery. Ever since then, if I see them on the shelf, I buy them.

Shills bid up the price and then the seller contacts the next highest bidder. Tells them the first bidder didn't come through with the funds. The most used site is FULL of shill buyers, especially the small gunshops selling on there.

Shills bidding it up so real buyers can't buy. Another way to control the quantity of items?

I've been contacted before saying I was the next highest bidder and the highest bidder didn't pay. I never took the bait.

Greed combined with aggression - our shooting has been reduced from 150 rounds per week to 100. I have no patience with hoarders, exploiters, & cheats.
