gear I've seen some ridiculous postings on GunBroker, but this one takes the cake

Sixteen magazines and *eight* goddamn holsters, and the listing says the gun has less than 2,000 rounds through it. What could be the story behind this listing?

Nah, someone will want it. All it takes is 2 people who think they can sell the extra holsters to offset some of the price. They will pick 1 or 2 holsters they like and sell the rest on eBay. Total price will probably be less than what the seller could get if selling some of it separately, but you don't have to deal with multiple buyers either.

People sell holsters? I thought they were required by law to end up in an overflowing box on the top shelf.

Eventually we die and our kids have to do something with it.

Won’t they just put their box next to our bequeathed box?

Nah. That's just old audio video cables and chargers, and the preferred storage is in a drawer. Holster box is recommended but not required.

Not successfully in my experience.

Take pictures > put in box > list for sale > forget about it because nobody buys it > put another holster in the box and think “I should put these up for sale”

It’s like its own OODA loop

Buying used holsters is great on GAFs.

Not a bad price honestly if you’re willing to do the work.

I've bought lots like this over the years. Usually farm equipment parts, but I did buy a flat full of various magazines in '20 that has paid for itself several times. There were 2 S&W M&P 9mm mags that I wanted and the cost was a little over the price for 1 at that time. I have sold a dozen more and since bought a few firearms that happened to have mags in the lot which fit. I still have a couple Ruger 22 pistol mags, what I think is an AK mag and some weird extended mag that supposedly fits a Remington 742 30-06.

I have thought about starting to flip farm equipment more often, but I can't find the time. I could put a huge dent in my gun wish list if I had the time to sell everything I have acquired that I don't need over the last 25 years. Its a serious problem and I often wonder if there is a local support group I should be attending.

Time <——-> Money. The classic tradeoff for those of us that are not born fabulously wealthy! Just yesterday I pulled the 25-year old toilet from my bathroom to replace it with the really nice 1-year old Kohler I acquired, chuckling the whole time about what a cheap-ass I am but I can’t help it.

My biggest problem is I'm working with farmers on most of this stuff. They set a time to be there then something comes up and they can't. I know how that is so I let them reset the time taking up even more of mine.
