I'm really impressed with the position another vendor took. When the BATFE announcement broke, they pulled their entire inventory of M855 and are giving it away for free (by the case) based on participation of those writing to the BATFE. When standing up for the 2nd Amendment transcends profit. View Quote Why is it that I think you're full of sh*t? |

How about when the "supply" is plentiful? For months upon months the supply chain has been saturated with this stuff. Sales have been slow, overall, on 5.56 ammo. The XM855 I bought locally had been marked-down, twice, and had a nice patina of dust on it. Then almost overnight, some, sources marked the stuff up 20%, 30%, 40%. Can you blame them? That's business for you; nature of the beast. However, the local shops that sold it with the marked-down price still on it, sold out and have an appreciative customer base. The local shops who marked the stuff up, way up, are still sitting on it and have left a sour taste in the mouths of some consumers. At first, the "sell it for less" approach was a laughing stock of a business model. Today, most of us know differently. View Quote Let's pretend that ammo is an absolute necessity and you have to buy it today, instead of yesterday. Who would you rather buy it from: 1. PSA who is selling it for $0.60 per round with a pallet or two available in the warehouse. 2. Your local hometown gun shop who is selling it for $0.35 per round with no availability. |

Giving away $350 cases of ammo. Why? Cause you write the ATF an email. Yeah. Sure. So far, as of today, they've given away 16 cases of 600 rounds each and will give away 28 more case now until the March 16th. That's 26,400 rounds that will in fact make it into the hands of consumers prior to a potential ban. To me, that's a principled effort rather than marking the stuff up to a point that limits sales thus reducing the total amount consumers can purchase prior to a ban. It's still in stock for $89.99. Hasn't really been a rush on it in the nine days it's been back-in-stock. |

View Quote And some of you don't seem to recognize this transcends a typical supply/demand model in that the goods in question may be banned within a short amount of time.

Who knows for sure? But on March 16th, they could come back and say, okay, we took your comments into consideration and are banning it. From this day on, it's illegal to sell. Too bad for those retailers who didn't price it where they could unload it "immediately". Too bad for the consumers who would have otherwise liked to have increased their stash prior to the ban but couldn't bring themselves to pay those prices. Lose. Lose. |

Go to the Ridgeland store and ask them why they (per PSA range rules) don't allow 855 on their ranges. The Greenville and Fernandina ranges both do not allow their customers to shoot 855 in their ranges. 855 "penetrator" rounds and steel backstops don't mix well.
That said, any customer that has been told "no" when they tried to enter a PSA range with their "green tip" ammo and then they see this commercial....well, let's just say the next time they tell someone they can't use that ammo on their range might have this article thrown back in their face. |

Total bullshit. View Quote It's quite simple actually. Federal and some other large ammo manufacturers wanted to make hay on the M855 so they cut back and/or completely stopped production of 193 to beef up production of 855. What they didn't see coming was the panic buying that occurred on 193 because they were banking on panic buying of 855. Well, supplies of 193 are drying up and that leaves the old "supply and demand" equation...increased demand has led to decreased supply and that equals higher prices. Like I said, quite simple. Keep watching, even at the "big box stores," supplies will begin drying up and the prices will start going up. |

View Quote Because many fudds out there think 5.56 is about to get banned, since they don't know the difference between 193 and 855, so they are buying up anything that's in stock, anywhere. What's more confusing is when people get so frenzied up that they start buying out completely unrelated calibers, such as 9mm, 22lr, and 12ga. It's bewildering the lack of knowledge these fudds have and the impact they have on the ammo supply chain. |

Let me guess, you don't hunt?
This "fudd" has been hunting all of my life and still do to this day. This "fudd" has also been responsible for providing over-watch for his brothers in the field. This "fudd" has also been in the stack with his brothers in the field. There's just as many of the "preppers" and tacticool crowd living in mom's basement out there panic buying everything that goes "bang" out of a firearm, when they're not playing Call of Duty on line with a bunch of twelve year olds. I never knew there was a such thing as "fudds" until I ran into all of you high-speed types here in the hot LZ known as ARFCOM. Truth be known, incorrect, incomplete, and inaccurate articles have been circulated all over the place stating the ban was on 5.56. Not everyone has the NRA/ILA on speed dial nor do they watch Cam to get their daily NRA news fix so they reacted to what was being reported and passed around on forums (lord knows no one has every received bad or inaccurate information here). Of course it's all for not now considering the BATFE has "shelved" the ban talks for now. Sorry to get off topic but ignorant generalizations piss me off. |

I don't think you'll have to wait that long for prices to regulate, but just to see what I could find out there...
http://www.kyimports.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42_60&products_id=633 I could only find one place with any in-stock and they're asking more than PSA. All of the usual suspects are sold out. I believe this is where the "supply and demand" comment is inserted. I'm pretty sure it was stated much earlier in this thread that in the end, PSA would still have product available while others were sold out and for those that still have product, they would be asking for more than PSA. |

I see that regular ground shipping is $19.00, which makes it $0.64 cents per round out the door. |

View Quote That may be so, but just today, I was at a regional chain store which had plenty of American Eagle XM193 on the shelf for $0.39 cents per round. But yeah, many other places are cleaned out. Guess it comes down to where to look. |

Maybe somebody should inform PSA that the ATF has officially backed down from the ban. Maybe then they'll stop gouging everybody.

Supply, demand and greed. People are panic buying and paying the high price. Dealers are profiting on price gouging panic buyers.

Guess it comes down to where to look. Apples and oranges...I was talking about M855. That said, I don't disagree that the price being charged is ridiculous but I also understand that no one is making me buy it. If you feel as though you need to buy it, and since no one else has any in stock, then you're going to have to buy it from PSA and pay their price. Also, one thing being conveniently ignored is the fact that some retailers will raise the price on an item to slow down the panic buying, not simply to "price gouge" and pad profits. That way, when demand slows down and prices start to regulate, they will still have product to sell where everyone else has been sold out. I also understand that it's in some people's nature to simply bitch about something and therefore this just gives them another opportunity to get their daily "bitching" fix on. Either way, if you think the price is too high, buy it from someone else or don't buy it at all. It's really that simple. |

I do not understand how a retailer can say " I raised my prices so I do not sell out" Does not pass the sniff test! If I had a store front I would want my shit flying off the shelves. Yes mark things up when supply is down but you dont have to almost double the price. But it is a free country for the most part ( for now )and a shop can do what they want. I still remember who fucked up during the last panic buy here in Maine. And I have not been through their doors since.

Another thing for me anyways, Is when the store raises the price and claims that their supplier has raised the price to the store. REALLY??? When you raised the price the same day as the word got out about a possible ban and you jacked your price up almost double??? Kiss my pale white a$$. Yeah I was born yesterday, Right after I fell off the turnip truck. Remember that when your filling out the Bankruptcy paperwork.
