At the OGCA show this weekend the average price for 9mm was @ $30 for 50 rounds, 380 was @ $35. 5.56/223 seemed to be @ $15 to $20 a box depending on brand and load. Primers were averaging $75 for a brick with a couple people asking $90.
I am a table holder and mainly deal with older, collectible ammo and odd calibers but I always have some amount of newer popular stuff. Often bought as part of a lot at sales or auctions. Because of the current panic I had looked around at various online prices for an idea of current prices (Some of which seem outright crazy) and tried to set my prices enough lower that I could be sure they would sell. When setting up a couple of my friends said my prices were still a little too low on the 9mm and 380 and I should raise the price a little more or some other table holder would probably grab them and double the price to put them on their table (which is a fairly common tactic at gunshows)............. So I did, though only by a few bucks (though I guess that still makes me a "blue collar price-qouger" to some).... No trouble selling any of my stuff either and surprisingly none of the usual "how much less can you sell that for?" which has been the norm at the shows as long as I can remember.
