thats the even sadder part

I used to be huge on all mag/mag parts and sorry i dont think that is worth it.

It's worth what someone will pay for it, that's the bottom line. I'm sure with the lack of available slugs someone with a fair chunk of change who's making a one-off custom bodied 'mag will grab it. If you're already investing in custom milling, chances are you can afford said slug. Someone will probably pay way too much for it, but that's how these things go. Can you find another slug for sale cheaper than that? It's gonna be tough.

Whats a slug body?

A blank body from AGD with lots of extra material on it which can be milled to your own standards.

Yes Comrade - the government should closely monitor and control the prices of all goods and services, even in the absence of a monopoly or energy need.

SCALPERS are not businessman

I think you forgot difference between this two groups.

If company that actualy produce this slugs desided to sell it at this price than it would be business. But when someone was able to get one and sells it at the price of a slightly used TAC-One marker than its nothing else but scalping.

So when dealers charge more than invoice price for a car its scalping? Come on, supply and demand. Those that collect (insert any collectable you want) and sell them for more than they were new? I'm lost as to why you would think scalping is not a business. I guess grocery stores that buy and sell quickly at profit aren't in business according to you either....

A scalper is a businessman. He or she buys something and resells it for whatever they can get. If you don't want to pay you don't have to. I would like to buy a 59 Les Paul Standard but am unwilling to mortage my house to do so....

Hmm apparently I "scalp" stocks all the time...

I believe this seller is Jdogg from here at AO. You all should be careful about posting on specific sellers because they can always end up being our brothers and sisters from AO. I do believe his price is a little high considering you could have got a new already milled Karta or Chord body from DW for $250 or less back when they were in stock. Yes, the prices of these did go up a little, but it still wasn't that bad.

Unfortunately we live in a world where supply and demand really regulate the price of an item. In this case, AGD isn't producing the Slugs any more and they are not found anywhere. Jdogg is simply cashing in on a market where an item is so rare that someone would actually pay that much for this. He also has it for sale in the BST forums, but I inquired and after learning how much I had to back away. I would love to have a Chord body, but when obtaining a Slug plus having it milled is almost twice the original cost then I will be just as happy with my ULE body for now.

If he can get the price for it, then go Jdogg! We can't help it that someone was smarter than us to get one and to hold on to it until they were almost extinct and then decided to sell it!

is there any business ethic left around?

When we had blackout here in NYC some grocery stores tried to jack price on batteries and spring water. Some of those sellers got beat up pretty badly.

I unknowledge that slug is not an emergency product but hey no one punching scalper with slug body either....... However I consider both examples opportunistic and unethical type of business. Lets justify body parts sellers. After all they help other people to survive.

Too bad that people forgot that greed is also a sin.
