Rats for sale
- Thread starter greens
- Start date
What's with the prices people are paying for used RATs these days? 
Aren't the discontinued models being replaced by new and improved models which will likely sell for less than what the discontinued models are being sold for? What am I missing here? Is this the end of the resiprene handle?

Supply and Demand. Short supply of the CT and BR has driven prices up on the secondary market. The same thing can be said for pretty much every Rat ever produced....

Seems like the mark up on rats is exceeding that of Hogs. Weird. I thought rats were supposed to be the "User's" of the two.

CT and BR's are fetching about 100 bucks (or more) over retail...

Yeah, I've noticed that. I checked one day last week and there were like 8 listings for Hogs for sale, zero rats..
If I hadn't snagged a RM, that BR of yours Cobalt would be heading this direction.

So you DID get one? That's great. Were you in the second allotment?

Prices effect Demand and Supply
If the prices are so low, supply never rise.
When the prices go higher people are more encouraged to bring out supplies to trade.
As for Busse , the demands and prices are met most of the time and standard prices are imformally established therefor the trading activities are regular.
