Price gouging on ammo

[leetheman81]

Price gouging on here is in full effect!! Mods are busy working overtime today!! 55 and 60 cpr is the new norm on here it seems like. Then being justified by saying people are paying that price for it

Not shooting 250 rounds per week might be called adapting -----

They should charge what they can get. Market will set price. Welcome to capitalism.. I need masks for work. Scraping paint. Should have had more on hand. My stupidity.

Get the **** out of here with that common sense attitude and self examination. What the hell man. You ain't got the news? We're all socialists here now. Screaming for price controls and forming a price patrol.

I’ve got some 300blk listed for 40% lower than retail. Soon people will say it should be cheaper.....

Of course it should. You should only sell it for what they are able to pay. To each according to his needs...from each according to his ability.

I dont think anyone is against capitalism and we are all aware of the laws of supply and demand. However if you could get some mask from a supplier that has them in stock but had to pay x2 or x3 a piece would you do business with that supplier or go to another supplier that has them at normal price but availability is spotty?

It may come to a point where you have to get from those suppliers but if thats not the case then what? You might have to buy now but how would that affect your view of that business down the road?

The common answer is, you dont have to buy it and thats the truth.Just scroll on by and live to fight another day.**** them and their high priced ammo.

Unless you are truly of the opinion that we are where the wheels have fallen off and can’t be put back on, just calm down and wait til things settle down to buy ammo. If you have a box or two for your carry gun and primary rifle you and in 99.999% probability of being just fine. How good are your tactical skills that you will make it through 500 rounds of ammo before someone a little faster or keener of eye nails you anyway. You’d just be stocking it up for that guy who is going to pop you then go sit on your couch and eat those snickers bars you had stashed.
Hope I have eased your mind.

Well? You have now that there is the possibility that the people I'm watching might have Snickers bars.

Yea i saw 5.56 for $.50 per round. I personally dont think we're there yet and if I've learned any thing the last couple of panics is just wait it out. Ammo will be back down to low prices.

Yup, it's not like Bloomberg got in and flipped the House and Senate to Dems. That you won't be waiting out. This garbage will be done in 2 months.

I would buy what I needed and pay the price. Then....when supply eases and the price comes down I'd lay in a supply.
