prices
Hi Dave, My wife don't really care what I get as long as bills are paid and groceries in house. I buy a few items, but I won't buy unless I get it cheap (I may be opening the proverbial can of worms here). I still like WWI German grenades and there are 2 for sale that I would just love to have. I'm not going to buy either one because of their inflated prices. The only thing that makes an inflated price "fair market value" is when someone comes along and pays it.In the difficult economic times we're in prices are being chopped on many things to "sell" them. In my mind why should ordnance be any different. I'm real patient and have learned from years of experience that when you "overpay" for anything, one will come along later at the "right price". Some of the prices out there are just gaudy. I think free enterprise and profit are just fine, but what in the 80's we called "grabbing" just won't fly here. I just bought a WWII #36 Mills body for 30gbp shipped, and ordered internals, handle, base plug (eveything to complete the grenade) for 25gbp shipped, which adds up to 55gbp for a complete WWII #36 Mills, which isn't bad. I could go on and on but i'll just stay with that one example. I guess i've bored you long enough, but this is a subject I feel really strongly on. I'm outta here...Dano
