As usual, we'll be staying OFF the election, November, Democrats, racial issues, martial law, etc.
Or, I can lock it.
Your choice.

Found this posted on another forum and thought I would post here eliminating contact information. I kinda hope he chokes on it myself.

Cajun here: If this is competitive pricing, I'll just wait a while to get more.

That’s kind of competitive today, bless his soul. I’m not that competitive yet.

...like they say, supply and demand at work. And by the way, a fool and their money are soon parted, I think Mark Twain said.

I certainly hope things cool off, but I have my concerns.
Depending on how thing pan out, we may be looking on those prices with fond nostalgia.

Yeah those are crazy asking prices. Some may just pay them though. Back when the other guy was Pres a lot of folks paid $2000 or more for $500 AR-15s too.

Even though I'm in a pretty rural area there's LOTS of 9mm back on the shelves at normal prices. One store had Winchester white box 200 round value packs for $54.00 ..... limit THREE!

 

[Grayfox]

From what I've seen, those prices are pretty much in line with the current market. I'll bet it all gets sold quickly, if not gone already.

In the panic buying that took place in early 2013, after Sandy Hook, I remember a GunBroker auction for 100 AR-15 thirty-round mags...the "winner" paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $8000 for them...

I was at cabelas last week, decent prices, even found 12g slugs on sale, everything else was decently priced, it's the black gun ban done by an oic by the idiot in charge on may 1 that is the pain for us since the covid charade started.

This is reminiscent of the 22 long rifle drought several years back. There was a guy selling 22 long rifle and his prices were ludicrous.

The 22 long rifle drought ceased and the guy dropped his prices, no one bought anything. Hopefully he had 22 long rifle rounds in his breakfast bowl instead of corn flakes.

 

[Cellar Hound]

It’s similar to the stock market “Buy low, sell high”...... Or in our case “Buy low, shoot often”.....

 

[Cdog]

They're his. He is free to price them any way he wishes.

We are free to scroll right on by.

I wouldn't sell any of mine now at any price, "well short of comfortable retirement money" because I know at the moment I can't replace them.

 

[ericrlarson]

I read that also. I don’t think I would ever buy at those prices. I have plenty of ammo and reloading supplies. I guess if I were really desperate my position on this may be different.

I have had a couple of people let me know that they have some 5.56 for sale at around $650 per 1000,glad I have more than enough but I am not shooting much until things improve.

Reports of an Indiana gun show seller bagging 9mm in sandwich bags at a buck a round. I have no problem with that as it gives those that failed to prepare an option. I'd pay it if I had none but fortunately I'm loaded.

 

[misswired]

Scored four bricks of 22 lr and a case of .223 yesterday. The rimfire was normally priced....the .223, not so much.

Carry On!

You'd think with the ammo shortage firearm sales would be hurting.

I know when .22lr was so high, many folks in my area all but stopped buying .22lr caliber anything.

 

[rubiranch]

WOW is right.

I'm in pretty good shape myself but I would like more .45 ACP ammo.

A good friend of mine told me to never worry as he has more .45 ACP than both of us can ever shoot.

That's the kind of crowd I run with, too.

 

[gregintenn]

If I sold my ammo at those prices, I don’t think I’d need to go back to work. Ever.

 

[wheelgun28]

At a dollar per round I think I would sell off some of mine too!

This reminds me of some older guys I worked for when I was young. They would have a nice car or something of value. People would ask if its for sale. They would answer, everything is for sale for the right price.

I guess its the same with ammo today, sure its for sale but...
