People! Stop buying ammo!

Then what's with saying this thread is about a socialist ideal? And just because...

price gouging
[ prahys-gou-jing ]
noun
an act or instance of charging customers too high a price for goods or services, especially when demand is high and supplies are limited:


^^^^That is exactly what's going on.


Again with the Marxist bull****. Who determines what is too high?


I am so disappointed in you.
 
I don’t consider myself a flipper. I’ve had 5-7k rounds of 9, 45,223 for years. Have 15k rounds of 22. And a couple thousand of 357. Those are what I shoot. And some match 6.5 creedmoor. Haven’t bought ammo in a year.

but prices are up. Manufacturers are behind. Retailers don’t have the stock they used too. For whatever reason. So the market demand for some stuff is high. I’m opportunistic. I selling some of mine. Most is less than current market. SEe my sold items for yourself.

I needed some cash. It’s a free market. I am taking my shot. Wish I bought GameStop stock before it shot up and sold before it crashed. But I am not in tune with that world. But I do have more ammo than I need. So I selling if people want it. If you have plenty, you won’t want it and walk away. But for those who need it, I’m selling for less than what I see on ammoseek, but way the hell more than what I paid for it. Why would I sell for the same price I bought it? Im not mentally disabled or feeble minded. I don’t run a non-profit charity. There is no gouging when it comes to ammo. Gouging is for bottled water after a hurricane when there is no clean water.

morons who don’t know the difference are confusing socialism with free market capitalism. I think the prices are crazy. I think they will continue for a while and then level back out.

I needed some cash. Why wait to sell when the market corrects. Don’t we live in America? Buy low, sell high. If someone’s daddy didn’t tell them how the world works, or if you never worked in a business that tried to make a profit - you just don’t get it.

If the housing market has a bubble - sell before it crashes if you can. What stupid idiot would think they were taking advantage of someone to sell their house at the top of the market.

but selling ammo high is wrong? Did you never study Econ 101 or understand how our country was built?

prices suck. You either have or have not. Hold or sell. But if you have not and feel like you have to buy, the market sets the price. Not your desires, not what you think is fair and not what a past or future time machine would let you do.

if you don’t need to buy and don’t want to sell - mind your own freaking business
 
Actually, in a free market, I decide what is too high for me and am free to voice my opinion about it. You got a problem with free speech?


No problem with your free speech at all. That is exactly how the free market works. The consumer sets the price. In a market where the consumer sets the price, there is no such thing as price gouging. Made up Marxist bull****.
