This country runs on free enterprise! You want your investments making money don't you?
Look at gas prices and every thing you buy. No one is making you pay today's prices

That's not the point in question
Thursdays are my chill day, and I try really hard not to waste any oxygen to mess it up. I try not to worry about things "I" do not have control over. My ignore thread/list, however, is growing. 
But meh ... I am just an average hunter.
On a serious note, I will always try to help a Brother/Sister in need the best I can (Golden Rule rocks), even if they just need someone to talk to ... sometimes, it really is as simple as that. BTW, I love those side notes/PMs ... you guys know who you are.
Cheers!

I try that Thursday thing everyday. Can't say it's a successful mission most days but it is many days. Welcome to the "average" group. I've been here most of my life and I'm pretty happy right where I'm at.Thursdays are my chill day, and I try really hard not to waste any oxygen to mess it up.

"Please God, give us another oil boom, we promise not to pee it away this time."
Very Popular bumper sticker in our town during the 80's. Other than business's in oil, I doubt anyone really tried to adhere to it.
I tell a lot of people to buy in bulk, stockpile as much as you can afford. I get a lot of I cannot afford to.
That 170 bucks for a case of primers will yield you 3/4 of a brick of the same today, logic has failed.

Gouging is total BS. And it just bothers me to see it here. Gouging is happening on a commercial basis and that's what makes it really bad. It's no secret that the same people repeatedly obtain items that are hard for us to find and then sell them at exorbitant prices. Gouging ammo and reloading components has literally become a business that hurts us all.
IMO (and that's just one guy) there should be parameters set that strongly discourage gouging on this site. Most of those who do this have low post counts and aren't active members IMO. Classified ads could be limited too. Maybe after a few casual sales you should pay Len a fee to support the site operations. Some people sell here to avoid Gunbroker fees.
One thing I did notice, you rarely see a regular LRH posting member taking advantage of another member.
That's just my 2 cents and it's probably worth what you paid.

You are absolutely correct, most of the folks gouging average 40 posts over 10 years or they are brand new, but what you said about it happening here is disheartening

Lol, who exactly is the "Problem" here, buyers or sellers?
States out west here are being caiiforiaized by the week. People want to ask their neighbors Why, but the extra million or more on top of the exorbitant asking price answers the question.

I have been advocating for a long time that the rules to access the Classifieds for selling needs to be more stringent for the new folks coming aboard. Participation in discussions and sharing knowledge should be the primary reason for joining the forum. So, raise that number of post significantly before a person can SELL. Sorry, just rambling

Agree!
One of the philosophies that I strongly believe in is "Pay it forward". We ALL have something that we can share with someone else that doesn't financially hurt in anyway whatsoever. I know a lot of LRH members are doing this but it really doesn't get the recognition it deserves. We ALL have boxes of small count bullets that someone may need for a ladder or even heck to be able to hunt. The ONLY payment I expect from a LRH member is promise to "Pay it forward" if the opportunity arises for them and I don't care if it is on LRH or elsewhere. We need to be thinking more about this going forward since the next 4 years of component shortages will be the most difficult the shooting fraternity will ever face.
