I dont think it's a bad price at all considering the market, especially if 3k are CCI.

Let's break this deal down for just a second. I apologize for bringing logic into a GD thread. Let put a current value on the parts of this deal.
1. Ammo can $15 if its a .50 cal can. I'll use $10 as a round number. 2. 3000rds cci If you can find it at .07 you've got $210 3.1000rds rem which everybody thinks is garbage but goes bang everytime in the 22s that I posses. Even if you did it at .03, which you couldn't buy it for but let pretend....$30 4. 1000rds Blazer. Lets just assume the same fictional .03 for another $30 By my math that's $280 pretending that you could buy any of it for .03 a round. And, that is no sales tax, no shipping and no time spent out of your day getting it. If you had the ability to actually buy it on a shelf somewhere you would be over $300 for sure. And even then that's pretending that there was 5,000 rounds laying around somewhere and you didn't have to battle an army of neckbeards to get it. Throw in the fact that it's not some random person on the street parting with their stash but someone you actually know and you can help anoth human being and why wouldn't you but it even at his actual asking price. |

Luckily he decided he could not afford all of the ammo and backed out of the .22LR purchase. When I posted here before about what I was going to sell the .22LR to him for, approximately 10 people sent me IM's asking me to sell it to them. I guess I should have sold all that .22LR to people for the $13.97 a brick or less I paid for it back before 2008. It would only be fair. |

I am not required to buy it from you if I don't like the price. If I am low on money to pay bills for my family to eat and have water and electricity. I am going to sell my stuff for what I paid, or a little over that amount, for it to sell it quick and get the money. Look at this current situation. The OP, who seems like a good dude, came here asking about price of ammo instead of just buying it and helping out his friend. Obviously somewhere in the OP's head the price does matter. You see the difference here is that you could sell your ammo either way and it didn't matter. OP's friend is selling it to feed and provide for his family. One needs the money and the other one doesn't need the money. |

What kind of ammo? about 3000 CCI, 1000 Rem and 1000 Blazer. CCI standard velocity, or mini mag? If mini mag, $350 would be a steal just for the 3k, and reasonable for just the 3k given the market if standard velocity. ETA: $329.40 for 3k rounds of standard velocity at PSA. In today's market, $350 is very reasonable, and possibly a great deal. ETA: Says "in stock" at PSA, but won't let me add it to the cart. Best in stock prices via AmmoSeek say that taking even just 3k of CCI standard velocity for $300 is "robbery." I'd give him the $350 or decline the offer. __________________________________________________________________ Cross-platform electronic bound book (original thread).

You can do better if either you're lucky or you're will ing to wait for long backorders. I just got 1000 rounds of CCI Mini-Mags for somewhere between 7 to 8 cents a round delivered, but that was from a backorder I placed early Spring. For all the people in this thread who are talking about the price be way too high, you can't base your price off of what you'd pay at WalMart if you just happened to be there when it hit the shelves, because that's not an accurate price it's an anomaly. Go look at prices for finished auctions of .22LR on GunBroker. People are willing to pay a LOT for .22LR these days, and this is for lots of 1000 or 5000 rounds, so it's not some guy who's paying a high price for just a box. For recently finished auctions of CCI .22LR people are paying $100 per 1000 (and higher). |

Quoted:
Im not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I do take my finances seriously though especially for my family. Part of having a family is being prepared and responsible for their needs. Selling stuff to pay the bills is fine but trying to sell stuff for inflated prices because you are not prepared and charging your friends more that what it is worth is BS. He could always take a job that gives him some pay even though it may not be what he wants to make. Not sure what your job market is, but its almost impossible to get a job here. Hes not just sitting around with his thumb up his ass or a no skill schlub, He has a masters and is a skilled tradesman. He is out 5 days a week, at the job service every day, dropping apps almost every day, and has worked his whole life. The most common rejection is the bullshit "over qualified" crap, every fast food joint in town has turned him down. Then I guess he should broaden his horizons and look elsewhere. I never meant to imply he wasn't trying to find work. I couldn't know that. I imagine that there could be side work to do or manual labor somewhere locally that would pay cash. If I were you I would offer him $225-$250. What does he do for work? He gets the occasional under the table day job and he has been mowing lawns door to door (rough at 45). I don't know his job exactly but it was something to do with systems operations at a company that manufactured swimming pool lifts for the handicapped. Tell him to get on Indeed.com and do a search on MT, then WY, and so on with surrounding states. He can search for all jobs or refine his search by software names, job titles, and see what happens. I'm pretty good at using keywords in searches; if you can get me a better definition of his skills or job title, I'll do a quick search. I have nothing to do this evening. |

In my opinion, buying 5K rounds of .22 from him for $350 is much better than loaning or giving him $350.

A guy I know is hurting for cash and 5000 rounds of .22 in a sealed ammo can, is $350 a fair price in todays market? 2-3 months ago yes, not anymore. |

.07 cents a round isn't terrible.

Buy it and take him and his family out to shoot it.
It will help him out more than financially. |

$350 for 5,000 rounds? Maybe for Mini-Mags. But if it's bulk stuff, it's too high by at least $100.

So is my Wal Mart the only one without any 22 in it? No, I don't see any of these prices that anyone is talking about. Let alone, any .22lr on store shelves. |

I'd pay $300. If you have money to burn and want to help your friend then give him $350.

Federal 550 round bulk packs are $23.75 at walmart. Haven't had any .22 ammo here at Walmart since the shooting. Don't even have a shelf for rimfire ammo anymore. |

Please post a link to where we can all buy it for less, today. You can't. It still doesn't mean it is a fair price. Actually yes, it does. Not to you maybe, but the market says it is. I'd do it. Haven't found .22 around here in a long time, and don't have time to hang out at walmart waiting for them to stock their shelves. Its not a terrible deal in the current market. |

$300 is fair but not a screaming deal. If you have the cash to spare you aren't getting hurt.

So, would $300 be a fair offer? I like the guy and don't want to nail him to bad, but I don't want to hurt myself either. He's out of work and trying to keep his family afloat and I don't need it so its kind of a charity buy. That's fair, given current environment. |

If you gave him $234, you would be paying RETAIL....how about you start at that, if you fell so fucking bad about it. I would give him an even $200. |

If he's strapped for cash he may as well put it on Gunbroker, he'll get more than $350 there.
