Well I don't feel so bad for paying $50 for my mag now!
Unfortunately they are selling like crazy for a $100 + on auction sites, it's just crazy what some are willing to pay. I feel like a d/a for paying $50 myself.

$10.00 per hundred for 22LR is the going price in my area for those shops that even have an any 22 to sell. It's not price gouging, it's the new normal. Have you looked at the price of gasoline?

It will stop when people stop buying.
When an item sits unsold on a shelf the price drops.

Late last month I purchased a 50 round box of Remington/Eley Target (40g LRN) for 7.99. I had lots of ammo with me, but wanted to try a small box of something new. Almost 16¢ per round. My average price over the past couple years has been just over 6¢ per round.

100 bucks for a mag? I'm sorry but.......
I just bought a 15-22......I'll make due and spend a little extra time reloading my one mag I guess lol

The 15/22 is a great gun,BUT... You really need at a minimum of 5-6 mags for this guns lifetime, probably more. If I didn't have the mags, I would sell the gun before putting $50-100 into each mag. And 10 cents a round for 22lr???? Are you kidding me? I can reload premium 223's for that...

How many mags do you need? If you didn't want an AR before , why now?
Draw your own conclusions!

Really?
How the heck are you getting it down to 10 cents each for "premium"???
Hornaday 55gr FMJBT - qty 1000 - $89.99
CCI #450 - qty 5000 - $149.99
Hodgdon H335 - 8lbs - $157.99 (NOT including HazMat surcharge)
Range pickup brass - Free
Price per round: $0.18
And that's not "premium", that's basic plinker rounds.

I'll be surprised if prices ever fall back to the 2012 level. They'll fall back some after it's all over, but we probably haven't reached the peak yet. During Christmas of 2011 I bought lots of Federal M193 for less than $5 a box. The trend will always be upward.. JMO.. Ron

Trust me... I planned ahead a long time ago. You won't see me scrounging for 22lr either.

I got lucky and got 1 mag for 18 but the last 2 I picked up just as the craziness got started I paid 25 each for them. I was pissed at the time but I had a feeling I better get them. I'm glad I did. Now my big concern is finding reasonable priced ammo. I'm going to try a gunshow Saturday and hope somebody has halfway reasonable 22 ammo.

If your local gun show is anything like ours 2 weekends ago, I wouldn't count on anything 'halfway reasonable'. Some vendors were charging 45 - 75 for a 500 round brick, and people were buying like there was no tomorrow.

In reference to the following, that's cheap.
Here's a classified for two factory magazines. Price, $125 each.

I think that is going to take awhile.
There have been 65,376,373 background checks completed for Americans purchasing firearms since February of 2009, the first full month of Barack Obama's presidency.

Supply & demand is a concept, it does not mean your REQUIRED to gouge people. That is still a choice.

Old Cop had it right. Supply and demand. I believe there will be a saturation point when production and demand reverse. It will happen just as sudden as it started. One day the people that are buying will have enough and stop. Then the increased production will soon fill the stores and warehouses and drive the prices back to a reasonable rate. I never bought any high priced items. I have my larder filled and have for some time. But then again I am an old guy.

I hope so. I am one that buys when stuff goes on sale whether i need it or not. So as far as ammo i am more than set.
I bought a S&W M&P 15-22 a few months ago and it came with the 25 round magazine. I wanted a few of the 10 round small ones for bench shooting.
Who would have thought that they are in that high demand????
Its crazy.
What I have for my other weapons I am glad i bought 20 years ago with the weapons. What they are selling for now is just crazy.

You have to remember some of us "old timers" have been doing this a long time and have been through a few rough times in the past 30-40-50 years. We have a tendency to stock heavy when times are good and just ride out the hard times like now.
