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? Not in my opinion. That is about 50% more than what it was normally pre-panic. |

It's not something I'd pay, but $35 a brick is cheaper than a lot of places are selling it for.
If it's Rem Golden Bullets, run away. |

My guess in the next year you'll see many huge lots of .22 come on the market.
I'll wait until desperation sets in. |

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.

I would give him between 300 and 350 if he was a buddy hard up, even if he is making a few bucks on the deal still. Not sure about your area but he could still get 10-13 cents a round for it here.

If you think it is too much or just don't want it don't buy it. He will have no problem selling it for that price to someone else who needs ammo in this market.

It's one thing if a buddy was selling some ammo to fund another toy, another if he's selling for his family. I'd tend to overpay for the latter. My reccomendation, go on Gunbroker and look up recent completed auctions for .22LR. Based on a rough average of some sales will give you a fairly accurate price for what that .22 stockpile would actually sell for on the open market. |

I would say the .06 for the convenience of not having to shop around for 5000 rounds of ammo is probably worth it. Even if you didn't know that situation, how long would it take you to come by that much .22? And if you had the time you would probably average somewhere around .05 for it anyways.

If it was a friend I was wanting to help out I'd pay it and not dicker. It's not such a gross overprice as to be obscene so I'd buy and shoot. But that's me, I tend to try and help those few I consider real friends.

Personally I wouldn't pay over $250. If you want to help the guy out and you have the cash I think $300 would be ok.
For a good friend I might even just give him the $300 if I could afford it. I wouldn't expect it to be paid back and it would be a one time gift. ETA: There probably 2 guys on the list of friends I do that for though. |

He is out 5 days a week, at the job service every day, dropping apps almost every day, and has worked his whole life.

Local gander mountain gets some but unfortunately I have a day job and can't sit there and wait for themn to open. Also, I am in NY some many places won't ship to NY due to the SAFE act. So while you may be able to use a phone app to obtain ammo, I cannot. So for me, the convience of being able to instantly have 5000 rounds would be worth overpaying a friend .01 a round. |
