What's Reasonable?

The gougers call it a convenience fee. Well I consider 25% a convenience fee, 300% is a foot up the you know what. I buy what I can for a fair price and pass on the rest.

For me, I refuse to pay more than $20 for a brick of 22LR ammo. It's bad enough they went from $10 in 2008 to $20 in 2009. 22LR ammo has not doubled in price in 100 years but did in a few months in 2008... I fear it will happen again and when the prices finally do drop they won't drop below $40 or even $30/brick.

I was paying locally 14.99 a box for Fed 525 bulk 22lr all day long last year at Cabela's. I refuse to pay any more than 17 a box now or in the future.

Two months ago, i picked up 2 550 count boxes of Federal for $40 each at a LGS. In Rhode Island, bulk .22 is scarce and if you see it, you buy it. 6 to 8 months ago it was going for 27.99, at Walmart.

Our Walmart's don't sell guns, so thier ammo supply has been non-existant. For any and all .22, you have to look in the LGS.

Geez, and to think I just sold over 5k rounds of 22lr since I only need about 1k of 22lr for the next year or so, lol.
