Why have gun prices recently spiked?
Is it just my observation, or are some members posting unreasonably high prices?
If the current asking prices are a true reflection of reality, than I'm a goddamn millionaire!

I believe its called capitalism......
The price of each unit is increased in accordance with the demand rising and the supply shrinking. When you have items that multiple people want you raise the price in order to control the demand. Of course if you raise the price too high then nobody will buy your product, so it's a balancing act.
I'm no rocket surgeon, or economist, but supply, demand, and potential future events could be having some tiny effect on things right now.
Market prices are market prices. Period.
I think the answer he's looking for (and is probably not aware of) is that there's been a huge spike in demand due to the riots going on.
My dad's a gun guy but has been busy lately and had no idea what happened to the price of guns and ammo in the past couple months.
Assume you live under a rock?
