I know some of you will call me a scalper but I prefer to think of myself as a commodities trader
Yea... that what human trafficers like to call them selves too.
If you REALLY think there's nothing wrong with it.. Man up!! Own up to the correct term instead of trying to sugar coat it.
I'll disagree here. 22lr ammo not only is a commodity but you can go further and place it in the same catagory as a Bitcoin. An alternative currency.
Why do people insist on re-terming things in order to fit their personal agenda?
When liberals do it, everyone here calls out the lunacy of it. Liberals say "income equality" and everyone here calls it "redistributing wealth".
When people start re-terming things its most often used to stretch logic to fit a particular agenda. Kind of like "Manual firing inhibiting thumb lever". Call it what it is.
If a person cant make a sound case using the real terms its most likely because there isn't a sound case to be made.
For this action you call him a derogatory name.
'Scalper' is a derogatory name? Huh... Maybe that's why the OP likes the term 'commodity trader' better.
"Commodities" in the business world are typically homogeneous hard assets. In the business world, they are typically grouped in three major categories: agriculture, energy and metals.
The word "commodities" used in regular vocabulary basically means anything of value.
If people are going to talk in the business sense, they should at least know the definitions of the words they use in the context they are using them in.
I wouldn't call it an alternative currently. A barter item at best, but really just something of value you can sell for currency if need be.
There you go. Someone with some clarity.
What you did at the gun show is called retailing or re-sale.
Hey look... someone else with some clarity.
Whats with all these threads of overly simplified armchair economic lessons and re-definitions of words?
Cant we get back to topics with more prudent issues like:
Manual firing inhibitor thumb levers vs non Mmnual firing inhibitor thumb levers "(AKA , thumb safety or not)?
9mm vs 45?
AK vs AR?
Glock vs everything else?
