You're way off, there is still excess demand. Lots of dealers are getting ammo from distributors they don't usually use at inflated prices. SG may have paid 30% more from another distributor that has some to sell because their prices are inflated, and SG buys it because they can still make a profit. AIM doesn't seem to have gone this route because their prices are pretty good and they still don't have shit in stock.

As the "mounds" grow, the price will drop. Don't know what there is to get worked up over. Walmart kept prices level, but you better be there at 7am on Tuesday to get your three boxes because they'll be gone by lunch. Academy has a pile that you can get at any time for the price.
What's to complain about? You can have cheap, or readily available, but not both when demand is high. |

But that's the whole point...the people scrounging up what AIM has in stock are the usual suspects (ammo hoarders) and eventually they will run out of excess cash when they realize they can't flip their ammo for what they would have three months ago. AIM has got it right. SG just prolongs the inflated ammo prices when their entire .223 inventory is 30-60% higher than equilibrium prices. |

OP is nuts, he's crying about SGAMMO, who in fact have lowered their 7.62 prices lower than anyone else INCLUDING AIM who OP mentioned. OP cries about $46 100rd value packs of American Eagle .223, when Walmart sells the Federal .223 100rd value packs for a mere SIX DOLLARS MORE. less. Yep, good one OP, keep the butthurt flowing as you provide us all entertainment for the evening.

How is it that guys like aimsurplus.com continually price ammo at what it SHOULD be (not panic inflated bull shittery) and places like sgammo.com still have .223 for around $0.55 per round? They can't hide behind the "OHHEMMGEE SHORTAGE WE WILL RUN OUT OF INVENTORY" line of crap like they could months ago because it's just that...there is no fucking shortage. It's a prolonged inflation of prices by the dealers (sgammo, ammo to go, ect.) because places like Academy, for example, have mounds of any number of popular calibers (.22, 9mm, .223, ect) and they aren't moving inventory because of arbitrary limits and their prices are still too high ($0.40 per round .223 and $0.11 per round .22). So why on earth do these places continually have their prices up like back in April?! It makes no fucking sense. Even PSA has 100 round packs of American Eagle .223 for...you guessed it...$46 a piece. And they call that "on sale". What a load of bullshit. And no I am not in the market to purchase more ammo I already have a sizable amount but for the love of this nation why the hell do places like sgammo still have inflated prices while aimsurplus.com has their prices back down to normal levels?! Oh and for the "free market herp derp" crowd, NO SHIT it's a free market. This isn't Cuba I'm aware that we do not have a command economy I'm simply ranting against places who prolong the ammo price inflation. If they lowered their prices while demand is still high, wouldn't they run out faster... increasing demand, which would in turn raise prices? |

So, what's your opinion on how you managed to not get banned for taking payment on an item you apparently had no intent on delivering? Again, before you post stupid shit like that, read what I said above. I sent the man his stock and I explained to the EE mods what happened (along with tracking numbers, reciepts, and screenshots of his and I's correspondence). He got a little impatient and I couldn't cut my business trip short to send his stock earlier but he knew full well I wouldn't be able to send it until I was home. |

SGA is currently cheaper than AIM on 7.62 x 39 it looks like. I like AIM shipping better, but SGA has far more variety of specialty rounds. It's a toss up, but ultimately just don't buy if you don't like it.

One of them even told me he quit his job and said that with what he makes on gunbroker and the foodstamps he gets now he is better off than scrubbing toilets at a truckstop.

Aim and SGAmmo have both been 100% GTG for me for many years now.
SGAmmo has kept x39 in stock and at extremely reasonable prices during the worst of the panic earlier this year, when they could have broken it off into people ala CTD. |
