Not much to look at on his site. If he wants web traffic and sales, it might be a good idea to add more content.

I looked, and now I have a massive headache from the choice of colors used on his website..

[Okie]

Maybe he could list them on the website with contact info so people could buy them That might be cool.

And simply listing this:

SAR 2 5.45x39, RARE, 650.00..........
NORINCO AK-47S w/ underfolding stock, pre-ban, 1300.00........................................... ........................

makes it a cool AK site how?

Trust me, i'm more than a little interested, being in WI and all, but how about more than ten seconds on website creation?

[Jen]

Ok, well they apparently are listening.. cause the color no longer gives me a headache. The choice isn't much of an improvement, but at least my head isn't throbbing any more.. though my stomache seems to disagree with the choice in color. ;)

Stick with something simple, easy on the eyes, and better organize the page layout. The items list is VERY hard to read because it's all stuck together. If you're copying and pasting from a text file use the PRE tag, it will keep the formatting and make that list easier to read.

Wow! I'm undecided on which is the better bargain...

the $650 SAR2 or the $950 Norinco Uzi carbine :D

Man, I hope that guy leaves a little room for haggling! ;)

Wow! This guy does a lot of Crack.
His prices are 20-40% over market for MINT quality examples.
I agree, that's possibly the most pathetic website I've seen. Awful colors, incomplete text, SHITTY small photos. You want me to spend big bucks based on that? Hey, maybe learning to use the WYSIWYG page creator would be a good first step. I've seen better pages created by 8 year olds.
And it has to do with ak's HOW?

Hey, don't insult crackheads. They aren't near as FUBAR as this guy. Can't blame him, though. If somebody's dumb enough to pay the high price, then they deserve to get screwed. That's whay happens to people who don't do their homework. This country's full of idiot's that'll pay over $1000 for a $500 M1 Garand, or over $600 for a Carbine. The guy seems to know what the BOZO's want (M1's, Carbine's, P38's). Not that anyone is a bozo for getting one of these (I hope I'm not a BOZO), but the BOZO's out there tend to gravitate to these weapons. And they won't do their homework. As I tell my father about the ammo business. "You can always tell the 'Garand Guys', when they splurge they buy 2 boxes of ammo, not 1. Now FAL, M14, AR and AK shooters will ask you about a deal if they buy a case of 500 rds." That's part of why I like the AK/AR/M14/FAL crowd. They do their homework, don't bitch about the small s#!t and have deep pockets. I don't blame anybody for wanting a deal. Just don't gripe because 30-06 hunting ammo is $7.00 a box of 20. When a BOZO says he can buy the stuff cheaper elsewhere, I tell him that's the place to buy it then. (I figure he's doing me a BIG favor). We aren't high priced, but hey, some stuff's just plain expensive to make.

Place kinda reminds me of recent gun show where another dealer had an M91/30 for $375, marked RARE. I asked what made it rare, he said the original type sling. When cornered on that he did a "tap dance" about the gun, and a line of BS. Guy knew that I knew the value of the gun, too. Needless to say, it went back to the shop with him. I'd hate to see where he'd price an AK.

My humble apologies about rambling on, but this is my #1 PEEVE (high priced dealers). They're just short of criminal in my book.
