I’m selling/sold stuff that I don’t use or don’t like since November.  Every week I average 2-3 items or batches of stuff. .Reloading stuff that I didn’t use plus a bunch of primers, powders and some ammo.  Converted it to more guns that I never would have bought because they were too pricey.  The higher end stuff was just slightly more pricey but not as drastic as the lower tiered items.   However, everything took a big jump 1-2 weeks ago making me look at my stash and see what I could possibly sell. That X95 I bought 2 months ago is now at least $2000 more based on auctions ending these last few days. It’s sad and crazy

I’ve thought about selling everything but a couple ARs and an AK or two and a few pistols.

I’ve got a good collection of imported oddball rifles and I don’t really shoot them that often. I’ve been collecting ever since I was 18 and have never sold a gun.  Sometimes I look at my collection and just think damn that’s a big chunk of money that just sits there most of the time. It’s been really tempting seeing what many of my guns are bringing these days....

If a few hundred bucks is worth it to you to sell off your bulk ammo I guess go for it..  I am debt free and can’t replace my ammo right now and probably can’t get much more for a while so I’m not selling shit!

I'm selling off guns from a friends estate for his 78 year old wife. They didn't have kids together and none of the other kids could care less about guns. She asked me to sell his collection and I agreed. I had no idea it was a 10x10 storage unit full of guns and some ammo. I wish he had done better prep for long term storage. He wrapped everything in trashbags and packing tape and put them in a non climate controlled storage unit. Luckily nothing is pitted yet, just surface rust on a few things.

Dillon 650 loaded many many rounds for me to shoot for years. Plus I got components to shoot for more years after that. If I get desperate enough 10 years from now I’ll just shoot my 22 stash. If in 15 years prices don’t stabilize than I’ll get a new hobby in retirement.  If you only have 5k or less in centerfire ammo I wouldn’t dare sell anything. All perspective don’t assume.  I ammo flush but I don’t think I’ll be doing any classes for a while.

I'm going to give it a few more months, for people to really get panicked, to start selling off the stuff I don't want or need. I also bought a ton of Russian 556 to flip a few years ago. Since I just got laid off, I hope my gamble will pay off.

Yep, I’m selling of a bunch of .22 and anything I can reload for. Got a couple of years of components, and I don’t really shoot .22.

I just sold a brick of CCI standard velocity for $175 I paid $35 a few years ago. I’m trying to turn this .22 into a 1301 competition.

The guys I know selling ammo now are paying off houses and vehicles.

They are not selling a couple cases here and there but literal forts they spent years acquiring. They won't be able to replace it anytime soon and may never be able to but they have decided to cash in.

I hope they end up being the smart ones because if not we are all permafucked.

I think you're not thinking all that hard, then.

More restrictive rules for shipping and storing ammo.  CA-style ammo sale restrictions.  Mail order ban.  That's just on the government side - if things get really spicy, take whatever prices we have now and double/triple them at a minimum.

If you have more than enough of a given thing to meet your long term goals - whether that's practice (a lot of which when done at high volumes is honestly just a combination of wishful thinking, jerking off, and wasting ammo), riding out supply problems, having enough to have a good depth of caches, supplying your kids/grandkids...  whatever - then sure, you can sell some to take a profit.

There wasn't anything wrong with buying extra to speculate in the first place.

However, if you are betting that "things can't get that much worse" or "things will go back to normal in time for me to resupply", make no mistake, you ARE making a bet.   You need to weight the gain now vs. the consequences of choosing poorly.

Prices on a lot of arms, tools, and various related accessories are not nuts right now.  The one profit-taking activity I really approve of is taking a bunch of random crap you've "collected" and turning it into serious capability.  Thermal, NV, spare parts, commo, etc.

Make an account on Gunbroker and sell them there.  You'll pay selling fees, but you'll also get the most money there.

We like to make fun of the ATF, and I'm sure some won't like me saying this, but I'd call them up and let them know what you're doing ahead of time if you are actually going to sell that many guns at once.  That is a lot of guns.  There is nothing wrong with selling guns from your collection that you no longer want.  If you don't give them a heads up and they somehow catch on to you selling that many guns at once they're probably going to wonder why you're selling so many without an FFL.  Again, selling them for the purpose of downsizing your collection or upgrading to another gun is completely fine, but if you don't have an FFL and they see you getting rid of that many they will get curious if they somehow take notice of it.  I know of someone who sold most of a massive collection off and they called the ATF before hand and told them what was going on and they never got hassled about it at all.

Again, some people will be against doing what I said.  Doing it keeps them from hassling you if they do take notice of you selling that many guns at once without having an FFL.

Sort of.

You probably won't get ten years hard time, but you'll still have a felony conviction and all that entails. To a deadbeat criminal they don't care. To most of us, it would ruin your life.

I don't think a no grandfather ban is likely though. I really don't think they have the votes for it.

If they do, I hope some of the states will stand up and do the right thing for their people and stop it.
