Am i the only one that thinks this is absurd as of late? Please tell me no one is paying effin $150 for a pre ban glock mag. There was no warehouse on fire full of pre bans that I'm aware so what gives?

if they ever hit $200 i'm putting my collection of them up.
Eh, one seller posting something high doesn’t necessarily mean that’s where the market it. There are more for sale in the $50-80 range.
There are also AR mags listed for $45 each, which given that they’re ~$12 new.....

My theory is that ever since PCC's blew up a few years ago and that many have Glock mag options, that prebans have since exploded in price. So what was once just a Glock pistol owner demand for prebans is now a Glock pistol AND PPC owner demand.
$150? You're paying way too much. I found a whole bunch of 15-rounders for my G23 up at Riley's in Hooksett. Like $10 bucks each, in their "used mag" box.
Condition was excellent and they function great!
given enough time, there will eventually be only one Glock pre-ban magazine left in the world, I wonder what it will cost?
LE marked magazines were almost certainly manufacturered during the 10 year AWB 1994 - 2004.

I hope that $150 was at least for a 30rd giggle stick. My theory is that ever since PCC's blew up a few years ago and that many have Glock mag options, that prebans have since exploded in price.

The asking price for sq notch mags more than doubled in the last couple of years. The popularity of PCCs may have contributed to it. But Colt 32rd mags prices have been pretty stable.
I do use pre-ban springs, followers and floor-plates in them though, so I'm only 25% breaking the law.
25% is pretty darn good for me...
If the price gets high enough it will open the market to fakes.
The difference is guys buying those colt mags are keyed in (more likely to refuse to overpay) vs. glock mag buyers more likely to be nippleheads, and the flippers know this, and camp + capitalize on it. The cost of acquisition by the flippers for the glock mags is also way cheaper, anyone who has colt mags in bulk (at the source level) isn't going to dump them for cheap money.
Let's put it this way, if I am a flipper and I drop $1000 to buy glock mags, if I have good sources I will have tons of mags to sell. The $1000 isn't going to go nearly as far on colt mags because the acquisition cost is going to be higher to begin with.
