My senerio was predicated on the fact that the person selling had already decided to sell. Your rebuttle ignores that. Furthermore you are no more “most people” than I am. At least there is no data to support that. Nor does your version account for varying economic positions of the parties involved. The fact that the seller takes a loss is nothing new. This is almost alway a given with used items.
Some need to recoup funds they have tied up in something that they are not using and some could care less. By way of example; I paid for a Gen II Razor 4-27 that I could not afford by selling gear that I would certainly have found a use for one day. I took a loss and looked at it that I “rented” that gear until I had another need/want.
My point stands. There is value for both parties and both parties can benefit from the sale of a suppressor, not unlike other used purchases. Of course this requires people and the product fitting into perimeters that I clearly laid out. Yes, yes, yes, if you change those perimeters, of course this changes the value equation.
1st, whoah. You weren't fucking around, I didn't realize this was serious business. We get it bro, you're edumucated.
I was only <insert half a dozen SAT words here> <witty reply> <something something something law school> ok?
My point was just that as a rule of thumb (I can feel you cringing) most guys buying suppressors/race cars/high end guns/cameras/quads/bikes/boats/night vision/toys over 1k ,2k, 20k bucks etc have their financial house in order to the point that a 1k purchase doesn't require recouping the last 1k purchase....
It didn't mean you're wrong, you're just talking about a different group with different priorities. I mean you're basically arguing scarcity, and you're right, the more you want something and the less you're able to get it the more intangible hassle you're wiling to go through, or the more you're willing to take a loss for a W. I think we all get that.
Has nothing to do pre contract obligation, or data set. Just that for some, like Bill Gates (yes, I'm exactly like Bill Gates) losing money stopping to pick up up a Benji, you get to a point where its just not worth the hassle, the loss OR the time....and really, if this thread is a sample, we have:
6 hell no's
1 we can say is offering a perspective on the severity of the screwing the seller takes, but could also easily be in the Hell no
1 who offered a way to recoup 30 bucks on the stamp (which could also easily be a hell no imho)
and 1 confused about the "worth it" thing.
Maybe you can make up a hypothetical sample size that I don't have access to, with results that can be pretty much as concrete/nebulous/inconclusive as you needed so that no matter what I'd be wrong....but the sample size I'm referring to when I say "most people," meaning everyone in this thread (myself included). Of those polled, we at least gotta admit, the results are in.
Speaking of not stopping to pick up a Benjamin, I'm pretty sure we're both losing time and money on this one....
