Pump gun prices on the rise?

OK, now granted I've only been into this stuff since last fall but I've been an AVID ebay skulker and even bought a few things off the B&S here at MCB.

Since the New Year I've noticed that pump prices are on the rise. Trracers adn Mavericks are going for $15 to $20 more than last November and even the rough and ready SL68II's are going for over $60. And shock of shocks a WGP Ranger is just finishing up on ebay at over $200! ! ! ! Granted it's a bit cleaner than mine but I got mine for $70 Cdn.

Is this just the usual seasonal awakening or is pump gaining in popularity to the extent that the guns are in higher demand?

Sure glad I did my gun whoring early in the good ol' CHEAP days!

happens all the time this time of the year... Wait a few months and right before Christmas... the prices will go back up.

Oh, and wait a couple of months... Tax refund checks goes out and the prices will once again go back up... and then goes back down during summer... then Christmas...

Be really concerned when the prices goes up after tax season though.

Mostly theres a dead zone in front of christmas.. and the rest is recovery.

Pump guns that kids know about are valuable.

Mostly CCM guns, Other autococker snipers, and Phantoms.

I bet you couldnt trade 3 mint grey ghosts to most kids with a series five pump, they might even laugh at you :P

Kids will be kids. But kids then grow up. Then they have more money. Then they...
