I paid $2 a box more than that for .375 Ruger last week.

The difference? .375 Ruger doesn't give a fuck about your body armor

Looks like it's going at current market price.

They have threatened this for years and outside of some 5.45 ammo have been unsuccessful. You also have no understanding on market price.

There isn't.  If the price is too high no one will buy it and they will lower the price.

Not me.


But I have a blue press and bought in bulk because of price advantages years ago.  It pays to be a cheapass from way back.

You know it's gotten stupid when you are sitting on well over 1/4 million bucks worth of ammo easily and your firearms are now worth far less then the ammo.

That's a great plan. Who needs icky guns and ammo?

I do feel that guns are going to become invaluable in the coming troubles.

Adam Smith would love all the people who seem to misinterpret his ideas.  Gouging technically does not exist. However, price is based off of labor and that's how a value is added. The amount of labor the seller put into the 20 rounds is what dictates the value. Supply and demand is also commonly misinterpreted and so are the effects of pricing.  This is price gouging under Smith's view purely because it is a shortage directly caused by media and government influences.

I hope so.  I'm trying to sell a few thousand rounds of 22LR and 300BLK.

If I sell enough I will be getting a PVS-14.

I recently found 2 forgotten 5500 round cases of Federal .22 bulk pack in a closet. Might be time to cash in on them.

Are people really paying this much or are they bidding them up and welshing?

Someone should find that seller and punch em in the balls and then steal their ammo.

Too high but I did pick up 100 rounds of 9mm Blazer brass and Herters 100 pack.  Blazer was $14.99 for 50 and Herters was $28.99 for 100 rounds.  All 115 fmj at my local Bass Pro. I missed .223 by a few minutes.  All was gone in about 35 minutes. I was in yesterday and they had none.  I when in today looking for a knife and stumbled on the ammo.  They had 223 on Wednesday I heard but I was at work. The guy there said it was all gone within the hour or so.  They don't even have a place on the shelves they just bring it out on two carts from shipping.   I'll check more often from now on.   Maybe things are loosing up a bit?  Hope so.

There isn't...if nobody buys it, they will lower the price until people do.
