To Bigkidz and others: No, you’re not buying at MSRP but in a number of cases you don’t know what the item originally retailed for. Inevitably, you do some research and find the $ to be inflated, sometimes substantially. As someone posted on this thread, it does give you an idea of who you’re dealing with when that occurs.
Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?
Chances are if you’re looking at an ad you already know what it went for when new but I still find it annoying / irritating at best and dishonest at worst. Moreover, it seems the trend is getting worse in terms of frequency and % of inflating original retail prices. In some cases, (where applicable), a seller’s response usually revolve something like, “well, that is the current price” , not acknowledging that current models often have upgrades that would account, at least partially, for the increase. Am I the only one that is bothered by this? Just curious.
