Opinion: miss out or avoid a gouge
Re: Opinion: miss out or avoid a gouge
...my local source of $39.99 per box ammo is dry....I'm sitting out until something rolls in at reasonable prices or my BassPro back order gets filled. Having a great time with my Steyr 9mm anyway...

Re: Opinion: miss out or avoid a gouge
A few days before walmart started limiting customers to 3boxes/day a guy came in about bought 1400 dollars worth. He bought everything. To say that is not affecting the supply (atleast around in my parts of the woods) is ridiculous. Theres only like 3 or 4 places to buy ammo where I live. One of the places is selling tapco ar mags for 80 dollars a piece. ( the shelf is still full btw). I will not be back in their shop, nor will I be back in the shop an hour away that has fs2000s for 8500 bucks. No thanks. However you are welcome to go shopping at all these scumbag places like CTD if you want. I for one will never give them another dime of my business.romer522 wrote:ROCKETW19 wrote:yup that is the only thing that bugs me also.

buy the ammo and shoot it or let the next guy.
I like to shoot and I like to shoot alot I need ammo,lol
I fail to see how a person buying ammo cheap and selling it for a profit has anything to do with the problem of not enough ammo being available... They aren't consuming it and are not influencing the ratio of supply and demand.
Fact is that if it were impossible to sell ammo for your so called ridiculous prices, demand would be even higher and ammo would be even harder to come by.
People really need to learn basic economics and start pulling their collective heads out of wherever they have chosen unwisely to place them.

Supply and demand it probably is, however there are some suppliers sitting on stock, releasing it slowly because they can and have seen the spike. Nothing we can do about it.
I go to the range twice a month and cycle through about 150 rounds each visit. I still have some ammo at the good old $20+ or something pricepoint, but I've had to recently buy some more at what I consider way high.
Yes prices will eventually come down, but it'll take time. IMHO some suppliers will keep things rationed and release slowly to keep riding the wave.
My 2 cents.
P.S.:As far as banning the FiveseveN, no way. It just ain't gonna happen. Don't be intimidated and don't let that scare you. Our CA senator D. Feinstein beating her chest and going all out on a war path, hasn't included our beloved platform in her candy list. She has tried before and failed, she will fail again.

Re: Opinion: miss out or avoid a gouge
problem is I do not wanna pay the price they are asking. and yes the ratio is all jacked up with greedy mongers. so by you buying up all the ammo at a price i am willing to pay then since I cant get any you up the price to make a buck. thats whats wrong now I cant shoot cuz of your greed. sure ya we live in a free world or what every you gonna come back and say but that dont mean I have to like what is going on.romer522 wrote:ROCKETW19 wrote:yup that is the only thing that bugs me also.
