Five Mule Team 18's on eBay for $900?!

I cannot believe this guy. This literally makes me sick, as I didn't even get to buy a single mule team yet this guy has five listed as a buy it now for $900. Not to mention he has one on an auction so in total he has 6. I wanted to get an S110V mule so badly but now it looks like I'm going to have to pay big time for missing out :mad:

Yep. I've been hunting a Mule team too. I finally gave up and put the money on a Junior instead, but I feel your pain friend-o. This is like those people who hoard the ammo when it is in high demand then sell it for four times its actual price.

I like to hoard things and keep them personally. Especially ammo. I just hate not being able to shoot when i want to because everyone is out. It's pretty sad that people will price gouge this much. Just the way things are. People see ways to profit and take advantage of it. I guess it makes up for those times people sell "weird looking knife for $20" and it's a pretty rare knife.

That's not supposed to happen now is it? If there's a will there's a way, limits won't stop everyone but ****, six? Who knows he probably got more.

Yeah! This is messed up! I always buy just one. I got on the Mule Wagon late and had to pay premium prices for the ones I missed. If this kind of thing irks you, remember how you feel right now as bang out your frustrations on the key board and never do that to someone else. Take the high road!

Nine... NINE.

What's their favorite word to use? Capitalism. There's plenty of that and more. I understand the arguments but surely you guys understand the BS.

How much did those nine have to pay for it because their slots were taken? Limit of two? No one said it was a waste, but nine end users wasted more money when they were sold at $70 with a set limit to be fair. Oh yea.... Capitalism. Again, I can understand the arguments but you should understand the BS also. Nine is obscene. SFO worked on weeding out double orders for a reason, to avoid this...for a reason. Companies and dealers set limits for a reason. What a waste of unnecessary extra money for NINE...From one "Capitalist".

Edit: misunderstood his post, but my point as a whole still stands.

Maybe it's time for the purchase limit to be one. I missed both of the last two mules when they sold out far more quickly than I've learned to expect. Reducing the limit would make them more available to everyone and make it harder for scalpers to flip them. I know that I'll piss people off here who buy one for the safe and one to use, but they're also responsible for the shortage - maybe even more responsible than the scalpers that they rail against. Mules are meant to be used. If you've got one in a safe, then you have no call to complain about scalpers.
