You know how there's that one gun that you've sold that you've always regretted? For me, it was two guns: my Beretta 92FS and CX4 Storm Carbine.
The 92FS I sold for a stupid low price back when I thought all I wanted was 45s (my fault, I let the guy low ball me again after the FA-10 was already filled out, and I got raped). I've regretted it ever since, but 92s are everywhere and cheap, and I know I'll wind up with one again.
The CX4 carbine I found with my (now ex) girlfriend at a gun show and bought "for her" on a whim. It was cheap (under $600) and had all the bells and whistles (rails, foregrip, even that awesome looking barrel shroud). She never shot it, but I fell in love with it. Unfortunately it was bought under her name and she decided to keep it when we broke up. No worries, I figured I'd find another one some day.
Well some day never came and I've been actively looking around, and HOLY COW the market on these things is ridiculous. MSRP is $915 and Bud's used to have them at $835 (sold out), but I'll be damned if I can't find one for less than $1,000. I just saw one clear Gunbroker for $2375!!! Granted it had a half dozen high caps with it (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=323788516), but G** Damn, does that justify 250% over MSRP???
Is there something I'm missing here, or is this just another part of the AWB induced madness?
