I'd sell 9mm to my mother right now for $1 a round if she was willing to pay it.

Are you close? You're decision to sell high indicates no. I won't sell my sister ammo because she is a Pinko. If she wasn't, I'd give it to her.

I just gave a family member 200 rounds of lake city because I knew he couldn't find it reasonably priced right now.

I would never make a dollar off of my brother...more than likely I’d take a loss to give him a killer deal. He would do the same for me.
I understand 100% wanting to make $$ off of something. If that was the goal, I’d sell it to someone else. Your situation is somewhat tricky though, seeing how you sold him the gun for a great deal. I suppose as long as he doesn’t feel ripped off that’s all that matters. |

Quoted: Bought a gun... year later I decide I don't want it. Never fired. Sold it to my step brother for $400-500 less than what it sells for new. I sold him some ammo for it (one of the new niche calibers from hornady in which I'll probably never buy again) for $25 more than what I bought it at when it was at its normal price per box. I kept a few boxes for myself to sell on the side for a little less than Gunbroker prices. Didn't hoard it... literally have 3 boxes left. Does that make me a piece of shit for price gouging? The general rule of thumb when selling ammo is that it isn't price gouging if having sex with them wouldn't be incest. Step brother? Fine. |

I wouldn’t sell my brother 9mm for less than $2 a round. But him and his wife are BLM supporters and posted a rant on Facebook over the summer about how bad cops are, despite having several close family members who are/have been cops.

i mean, if you didn't charge him more than he could get it elsewhere in the market, i don't think so.
if i was really close with him, or if it was to my own brother or something, i'd probably let it go for what i paid for it if i could spare it. |

It's not price gouging, it's capitalism. Supply and demand. Should have bought cheap and stacked deep.

You might be a dick... My brother in law asked to buy some 556 ammo when we visited for Thanksgiving.
I was going to gouge him because I had warned him last year. Ended up gifting him a can of Green Tip instead. He thanked me with a high end pair of binoculars for Christmas. Turns out he's not the low class freeloader I thought he was. My first instinct was to be the stingy bastard. Glad I chose generosity. |

What caliber? Is it so scarce that no one can find it, and your NIB pistol is actually worth far less than the $400 "loss" you took on it?

Yeah, you're a dick. But he's a dick too for not stocking up when it was cheap. So basically, you've got two dicks together secretly trading essences.

First, don't sell. If you sell, sell for what it will cost you to replace. If your brother is one of your go to guys for help or you are close, just give it to him.

No such thing as "normal price per box" unless you're going to arbitrarily specify a time period. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No....if you can't screw over family, who can you screw over. My sis and BiL showed up at my house on a cross country road trip, they brought a 9mm pistol they'd never fired it, so they didn't even know it jammed every few shots, and 8 bullets (left the rest of their ammo at home). He went to shoot it and he couldn't even get it to load...  Once I showed him how to get it to load (it's an old gun that didn't like hollowpoints, especially if you ease the slide down) if failed to eject 25% of the time.I traded them a pistol, and a couple extra mags worth of reloads. Hopefully they learned a little from it, but I doubt it, BiL was still fixated on giving my sister his "new" used sks with high cap mags that they hadn't even test fired... They make ~$150,000/yr, but are too cheap to buy a real gun.  I told him to find a fixed 10 round mag, but he didn't listen.The sad part, they have other guns I've given them over the years, that actually work... Oh and he told me she won't allow them to keep any "extra" food in the house... they are both retarded. I only helped them out because I didn't want my niece and nephew endangered by their stupidity. I even let them fire a few mags though my gun to familiarize them with it. I was painfully counting each round... It's what family does. They still think I'm going to fix their pistol "for free"  My sister is the kind of person to invite you over for steak dinner, and then bill you after the meal (yes, she actually did that to our parents). If I do get around to fixing it, they will be billed not only for parts, but for ammo and labor...  And I don't work cheap. Sadly it's a nice, name brand gun (~50 year old police trade in, great shape, 98% finish from mild holster wear), but something is fucky with it. I think the extractor spring is just weak/worn out. I was surprised it jammed like that. But that just goes to show, never go into combat with an unproven weapon. I tried two types of ammo and it was wouldn't fully extract about 25% of the time.

Meh I’ve sold some ammo to friends/family that i didn’t really want or need but when my boss came to me asking to buy some 9mm and 22 you better believe it wasn’t for sticker price.
And I was straight up about it too which was why I didn’t feel bad. “I don’t really want to sell this ammo but if you want it that bad here’s the price” aswaged my guilt. Ymmv |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What gun and what did you sell it to him for? Bergara HMR Pro in 6.5 PRC I kind of did my research after and decided I'd build my next bolt gun that has prefit barrels made up from multiple manufacturers. Didn't like the idea of having to send the barreled action in to get re barreled every time. Hell, I am sure it'll shoot great... if not amazing. Guaranteed sub MOA on that gun. But after 1300 rounds that barrel is going to be toast. |

You know when you go to a nice restaurant and the price next to the Lobster says "Market Price"?
No restaurant has ever been worried about taking advantage of the customer, and no customer worth a shit has ever cried about "price gouging". Is the restaurant a dick? Pay what it costs, or eat from the value menu. If you can't afford the Lobster, don't order the Lobster. Coulda caught your own 4 years ago? Good for you. You should have. Your step brother should be looking at the cheeseburger page of the menu, for starters. |

I am selling a bit to friends at the price I paid, just so they have something. Sold 200 rounds of XM-193 to a buddy for $60 last week.
That offer is only to friends and family, and because I have a decent stockpile dating back over 20 years. |
