Why are you paying $1 per round for ammo?

The only thing I paid a Buck a round was, at a stripper club during the Rolling thunder in DC!!!

Just think what a Harriet Tubman twenty will get you!

Paraphrased from General George S. Patton. (Relative on moms side.) No dumb bastard ever won a ammo shortage by going out and paying a dollar a round for ammo. He won it by making some other dumb bastard pay a buck and a quarter a round.

Who the hell is paying a buck a round?

The people who are selling for 2$ a round.

went to an Eastman gun show a week ago and I've been looking for 30-06 ammo and I saw maybe 40 rds in the entire show. the guy was selling them for $2.00 a round. Funny thing is he had probably opened a box and put it in 5 round baggies like a drug dealer to sell for $10 a bag.

Because people will pay whatever price for what they want. Just like a brand née truck went up $10k dollars are people are still buying them like hot cakes.

Most of the people replying have NOT been paying a buck a round. But we see lots of sails/cells at that price.

Surely some people will fess up and say why?

Two ways I look at the current ammo prices. By summer we will find lower prices due to many buying now and putting ammo on high interest credit cards and some will be selling at a loss to make their card payments. The other group are the ones that keep the ammo purchased on credit and now realize with interest they have paid $3.00 a round for .22LR and higher for the other stuff. It's gonna be an awesome year once the reality of economics hit.

it is what it is.
did you ever pay 5 bucks a gallon for gas? or did you walk?
the people selling are doing so because it is worth it to them. the people buying need it.
the people buying had every chance to buy when it was cheap. they may not like the price,but feel they need it.
people buy gold,hold it til the price goes up,then sell it. its called investing. but when they do it with lead they are bad people..
dont buy if its too high. if you cant afford enough to be comfortable,try and get enough to be safe..
remember this next time. invest,buy a million rounds. then when it dries up,sell it at cost. flood the market,taking the moral high ground only works if you act on it. or just buy enough to not pay a buck a round....
just my 2 cents,and that wont even buy a round of 22lr...
