Talk about price gouging

[farmerjohn]

Prices of pmags on gunbroker have went from as high as $75 apiece down to about $35 apiece . I hope all the people that paid to much in order to resale for even more loose their arse !

And the gouging laws do not apply to guns and ammo. Additionally, gouging laws only apply during declared disasters.

I think he meant "The Law of Supply & Demand".

Went to a Fun Show last month.
S&W MP 15/22 mags for $80.00 ea. I did not purchase any & I didn't see anyone else buying them.
This Saturday is another Fun Show. I will flash my cash & if they won't budge they can keep them.
They had a stack of about 15 or twenty, none of them got sold.
I'm like other members, I would like to have more but one will work for now. I ordered some from S&W & he said by May they should have plenty. This was several weeks ago.
Also saw a older Federal Bulk pack, 525?, for $75.00 at the last show. . I have more than I can mention, been saving since Junior High School, now I'm 65.
There are so many dealers selling ammo I can be choosey. Screw them.
The Denver Shows, for some reason, has plenty of ammo. The 5.56 can run low but the .22 is always there. Usually around $20.00 a brick.
There are those who try to screw us old folks.

Factory mags seem to be going for more than $100 still though. But I have noticed that he prices of the guns have dropped off considerably. Probably people aren't buying guns when the mags are over $100 each, and no ammo to be found.

I am on another forum and it is funny to see new people pop up with stuff to sell. They come in with mags or ammo at outrageous prices and are trying to profit from it. I look and the ads and laugh. Now they are starting to drop their prices. Me and a buddy are just going to wait for when these dummy's start realizing that they spent all this money and now they can't sell anything so when their bills need to be paid they will take offers at reasonable prices. To heck with people and places who are gouging. I was able to get 2 mags from Botach when they had them and sometimes the thought runs through my head about selling them for more than I paid but then I don't want to be a jerk so I just keep them. Having three 25 round magazines is really not enough for a Rimfire.
So, I say don't pay those prices and let people realize they are sitting on stuff they don't need and they will eventually want to sell at better prices. Because as time goes by the manufacturers will start to catch up and backorders will be filled. I have a few backorders out there and am fine with waiting. It will be like Xmas time when they start shipping. At least until the CC charges start popping up and my wife gets mad.

...but on the other hand....we havent "really" had much talk from DC on guns and the 28 bills introduced in Washington...lately.

I see there is a trip and press coverage today from Admin on "guns" while in Chicago.

Once this topic starts making national media every day, and a vote starts getting close.....you never know....ammo and other related items could get far worse.

Panic buyers, newbies, or people who dont think they have enough.

It could get worse...media controls the masses.

With all the "Likes" on my post, I figured I was on to something...

Just bought (20) more boxes of Blazer 525rds for $21.25 OTD each. Now where to hide them from the misses...

Went to my local gun shop today just to look around, wow S&W mags for M&P 15 .22 $99.00. Box of CCI .22 500 count $50.00 When will it Stop?

It stops when consumer's stop supporting it. I was at the gun show last month and saw Colt rifles that we sell to agencies/officers in the store for $1,339 going for 3,000 and one dealer told me had had received $4,500 in his shop the week before for the same rifle.
