"pre-covid" ammo price references

[madcow]

I do not think that there is a constant ratio for prices for different items.
small pistol primer prices are up as much as 8 to 1. 9 mm prices generally are up about 3 to 1. That may go higher. If factory 9 FMJ is selling at 1$ a round I do not think that there will be a shortage at that price.
I will have a lot of it to sell.

I just look at current in-stock retail prices online and base the trade ratio on those prices.

I am waiting for an ad from somewhere like CG&P or Adventure Outdoors saying: Free gun w/ammo purchase of 500 rounds or more.

That’s fair, however it works both ways don’t expect the gun price to be pre covid pricing either...

I'm not buying or selling, but I have seen ads where someone wants to trade a firearm for ammo, but specifies that the ammo be "pre-covid" prices.

I feel like saying "sure, we'll meet at a time machine and go back to when ammo cost less".

I don't condone or approve of new costs for ammo, but it costs what it costs - today. If you want to trade me for ammo, I'll offer ammo for what it cost today, not what it cost at some point in the past or what I think it will cost in the future.

so I don't bother with those ads. am I thinking wrong? are they right to ask for "pre-covid" valuations on ammo in trades?

Are they valuing their firearm trade at pre covid or post covid pricing?

Normal ODT artificial inflation prices. Assuming it’s current perception of value. But over retail, around MSRP

For some reason a member feels he has to try and Harass me over primers prices in PM's me guess he didn't stock up
