Prices coming down a little?

[Green Frog]

Maybe there's some light at the end of the tunnel. I just got an unsolicited e-mail from a vendor I don't particularly like because of his "Dirty" business practices. His prices on both 223 and 9mm are approaching or below $1/round, so maybe supply is beginning to catch demand. I know the graph of the guns and ammo market looks like a python that swallowed a deer, but maybe the lump is starting to go down. We can hope!

I started noticing a shift. Online vendors are not sold out on 9mm as quickly as they used to. A month ago, everything sold out almost immediately. Natchez had 1000 rounds per and they were available for 3 days before selling out.

First...the longer it takes things to sell out will stretch. Then the price will lower. But when that happens, it will increase the demand. Eventually, it will lower. Last time, with ammo shortage in 2014 and 2015. It was at least 2017 when it was normal.

Better have patience.

I believe you're right. Supply is increasing. However, I also believe that vendors will keep prices as high as they can for as long as they can.
I stopped yesterday in a LGS that I visit about once a month. I bought a 50 round box of .38 Super +P for $26.00. If I wanted a box of 9mm, it was $40.00. I think the popular ammo prices will only drop when demand drops off.

I noticed that the Federal Premium website has actually raised the prices on all their ammo effective 1April. But it is staying in stock a lot longer than before.

More ammo is showing up and prices going down some in my area. Good news.

I'm seeing 9 mm online now but I don't think the prices are going down. 0.67/rd doesn't look like any kind of a normal supply to me.
