$79 for 4 tins of Crosman pellets!?😳

[Pale_Rider]

Recently @Kaylaindy posted 4 tins of Crosman pellets for $79 with free shipping. I was sure he mis-typed the price so I sent him a PM. His response was surprising and disappointing. Maybe it’s just me but I feel partial to the members of AGN and don’t take kindly to people who try to capitalize on a pellet shortage, charging a ridiculous price for the pellets. Crosman pellets cost $6 at Walmart. To charge 4 times the amount is a slap in the face. Maybe there are some guys out there that would fall for this because their Walmart doesn’t sell Crosman pellets. If you’re one of those guys and you want some Crosman pellets I will buy them for you and I won’t charge a dime on top. Just pay for however many pellets you want + shipping and packaging.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. I was hoping he ment something like $29 shipped. That would be a fair price. Unfortunately it wasn't a typo at all. I'm not sure why he would try to take advantage of people in need of pellets. If he was in need if pellets I'm sure he wouldn't pay that much for 4 tins of $6 crosman pellets. The funny thing is he actually had them at a higher price and quickly changed it. I think he had them at $109 or $129. Something insane.

Actually you did misread it. It was $99 for 4 tins lol I pm him too thinking it was a misprint. Our Walmarts here in Indiana carry some Crosman but it's always the 177s I usually get mine from Pyramid the buy 3 get one free deal. They just had the 22s in stock last week. After shipping it comes out to about $10 or 11 dollars a tin. I'm good with that.

My local Walmart carries the 22 crossman 14.3 hollow pts for 6 and change. It's hard to fathom people who try and take advantage of others, but they will have their day.

If that's his mark-up on pellets I'd hate to see his mark-up on all those high-end guns he sells...

I didn't want to start anything but I showed the ad to my wife.all she could say was .is he crazy ? You get the same ones at Walmart for 6 a tin.

He also posted a “made in Japan” hand pump for like 150. I got 2 of the same “made in Japan” hand pumps from Amazon for 40 bucks each, think one I got for 30 on sale.

Sorry @kaylaindy you should not being price gouging for low end pellets.

How can you respect and watch someone when I know for a fact they are trying to make money off used equipment. @kaylaindy got his Argus 60 from Krale and I know what the price is, and what he was originally asking. Yes, I am calling him out on this, but the pellet price issue does set me off.

Thanks for the heads up on this member. I'm surprised one of the mods didn't delete his ad. Not nice to try to take advantage of other forum members.

By me they are 8.99 for a tin of 500. Thats at Tractor Supply. Wally world seems to stock .177 only

 

[pdxFrank]

dang, was only asking $100 shipped for these, and even then felt it a little high. (ooh, I'll make 10 bucks!)

But Crosman pellets? I mean, they any good for much other than plinking cans?

 

[Matt247365]

I come across a lot of items on here that are priced high and I simply don't buy them

 

[L.Leon]

I sent him a PM on the price. And he responded nicely and said he would list them on EBay instead... But yes, that was his asking price.

 

[Blackpaw]

Well, I am one that always appreciates when someone stands up for themselves when called out. Yes, this is rare, however, it brings respect. @kaylaindy openly mentions some financial stuff, yet scalping others isn’t a way to solve your problems with any ethical way.

 

[wethy]

I have an Akela and I like the hollow point 14.3 they do just fine and if you look around you can get a decent price on them lol

Well at least we all know where we stand with him. I always found it curious how a reviewer knows so little about the guns he reviews. If you don’t understand how to tune a gun, for gods sake don’t do a review on it.

 

[Skydivingmiami]

I saw the 99 dollar price.. it was a good laugh. Then he changed it to 79.... still high for crossman pellets. Cmon they are 6 and change at Walmart. Maybe he thought a newb buyer would jump on the deal. Plus he had 1 tin of piranhas... those are terrible. 



Ebay is high also for the same pellets. Each tin is selling for 18+

I hesitate to post a reply here, but I've got to say I started a PM to kay when I first saw the post but decided not to send it. Good to know I'm not the only one that found it a little off-putting to see the pricing on $6 pellets.
