Holy Guacomole have I seen some crazy prices on things the last few weeks. 200 dollar polymer lowers, 150 dollar lpks, 800 dollar no name uppers, 2 bucks a pop xm855 and so on. A free market is required to demand the highest price it can get for its production; and by no means am I saying that's bad. But a functionsl free market is also dependent on informed consumers.
I understand the scare, but there are only a few things that deserve the premium right now:
1) Complete rifles other than the AR15 and AR10 platforms that are at risk of being banned (no that does not include 10/22's and a standard ruger mini-14).
2) AR-15 or AR-10 stripped aluminum lowers from a known manufacture (just say no to poly and start ups, this may be your only lower and poly has a poor longevity record on the ar platform and start-ups have zero records at all, they could be pumping out junk and you won't know until its too late.
3) Magazines, but even these can be had at decent prices.
Nothing else is at risk, don't blow your cash selling to the flippers on stuff that will be more than available in a few months.
