I do not believe this

[fat tom]

An old gun shop, down the street from me has about 5 setting in an old glass case, for about 7 or 8 bucks apiece. all new in the box. most of the older stuff is dusty. he has alot of old out of date gun related stuff. its old, but new.

A local pawnshop had about a dozen and a half. I bought 'em all for $4.00 each. Sold some of them here for about $25 and gave some away. I think I should have kept them.

f.t.

I think I am going to sell my 20A-3 polished new in box for $150.00 includes shipping. Any takers before I list it on fleabay?

 

[old bear]

I was high bidder on a USED T-grip on evilbay this week, I bid $66.00 and thought I was being stupid. I don't feel so bad right now. What in the hell are these people thinking? It will be interesting to see if this sale closes.

I got the box for that.... You can have it for $75.

I think I'll take all the Tylers off my guns and make a quick $2,000

 

[MWark]

Are they out of business or something?


Nope. I just looked them up and they're taking orders as I tap this out.

Tyler Manufacturing and Distribution Company, Inc

Yeah Tyler got shut down........the law frowns upon taking money for a product and then never delivering it, ripped off over 2,000 people......

Now fleabay and GB is gonna be awash with used Tyler T-grips tomorrow listed at $150, as everyone takes them off their guns......

I refuse to ever pay that kind of cash for a piece of aluminum. If I'm paying $250 for something it better be something that goes bang,not $2 worth of metal with "Tyler" stamped on the side.

Tell people they can't get something and prices skyrocket........I can live without more T-Grips.

Really?

I buy and sell on ebay all the time. If that was me watching a $40 dollar item that I was selling go up to $255, I'd only have one thing to say. WoooHooo!!!

 

[stantheman86]

If people are willing to pay it, I don't blame the sellers at all......no one is making anyone bid $250 on a T-Grip, if someone wants it that bad then have at it!

 

[smithman 10]

Believe this!

I was talking to a retired police firearms trainer today who said years ago when his department switched from revolvers to semi-autos they threw away hundreds of Tyler T-Grips! They were just so much junk back then!

Moral of the story - Save all old stuff, I reckon. Someday it will be worth something.

 

[MWark]

So would you rather have a NIB Colt Python or 5 T-grips? LMAO!

Remember Beanie Babies or the tulip bubble; if you got them sell them, NOW!

 

[jhvaughan2]

I'm glad I never got hooked on Tyler Grips. I guess I never will now.

 

[stantheman86]

If you have extra you might want to unload them before the "frenzy" dies down......in 6 months they will be back to $50-100 for the used ones.

T-Grips

Well, first it was the oil speculators...now it's the t-grip speculators, go figure.

 

[Robinett_11B]

Tell people they can't get something and prices skyrocket....

+1....and the myriad of threads on this same subject, the availability of T-grips, only serve to feed the hysteria and drive the prices up

 

[stantheman86]

I don't get the "hysteria", I think the world will keep turning without Tyler T-Grips.......

And to think some of the S&W's I got used for $3-400 came with a T-Grip already on them......bet you won't see that anymore.

Auto pistol fanatics are griping about hi-cap mags going up in price, and here we are talking about a "T-Grip shortage"

I'll give it a few months until someone tools up and offers a "reproduction T-Grip"......it's not like they're hard to make. I still can't wrap my head around the fact people are paying this kind of cash for pieces of aluminum.

 

[Robinett_11B]

I'm really surprised no enterprising individual with some free time/money has tooled up to start making these as well. They'd surely make more than enough money to cover their costs in a very short amount of time, then it'd be a steady profit.

 

[stantheman86]

I think someone will now! Some guy named Gary will come out with the "G-Grip"

 

[Plottman Pops]

Getum while there HOT....

 

[mc5aw]

The current T-grip mania isn't all that different than the hi-cap mag rage of a few years ago, the S&W grip insanity that is somewhat leveling out now, or the current 3" craziness. How many of us have the filled wooden grip box sitting next to the filled holster box? And of that group, how many of us realized a few years back that certain of our original S&W wooden grips could command sky high prices? Combat grips for $200-$300? Sure, and 3" K/L frames will sell for over a grand, right? Never happen ...

20/20 hindsight would have made many of us millionaires.
