Ammo prices

[Sr15]

If anyone wants some sticker shock go on to gunbroker ammuntion site and see what people are paying for ammo, it crazy and the term panic buying is and understatement! Plain 556 either x193 or m855  and 9mm for .80 to $1 per round. 22lr is  25 cents per round
6.5 and 300prc is $7 per round. A person could buy ammo on this site that the guy was getting flamed for and turn around and sell it for a profit on gunbroker. Its a crazy world we are entering in to.

I'll save you guys some time, I'll sell 7.62 for $1 a round and you don't have to pay for shipping.

Fear is a powerful motivator whether it's TP or lead.

I fully support free market and if someone will buy at those outrageous prices - well that is between the seller and buyer.

However I have been appalled to see things on this site being listed at prices 4X plus normal rates.  I like to think of this site as a local community of sorts and when someone is seemingly looking to take advantage of something at the expense of the community, I am disappointed.  I know I am making a list of folks I will never support or associate with!

Again - free market, as it should be - but that goes both ways and I won't support opportunists.

Primers are going for $200-$250 per 1000 on rhere.

[Rob]

yeah - my 4x comment was vastly understated!

8-10X is more like it when it comes to Primers.

That's exactly what people are doing at Sportsman Warehouse. As soon as the store opens and people find out they got ammo in people are going there buying as much as they can afford and then go out and sale it. They won't let you hold or rain check ammo its a first come first serve. At least that's at the Everett store.

Wait...I can get $7 a round for 6.5 prc...

Most of the SW's have limits on what a customer can buy for ammo.

Same with Walmart and probably the other places as well.

Like the TP crisis, this one is self-induced.  I do feel bad for the people that like the high volume shooting sports.

So you're telling me that the 2000 rounds of 22lr I picked up last week at bi mart for $.06-.08 a round can be quadrupled? Hell I though the gouging on the site from a certain member was bad!


I know if I run into certain ammo and buy it and trade it at what bi mart prices are (never change), I expect a fair trade at bi mart prices in return, but a lot of people aren't honest on this site and that's why I don't list anything these days.

[Karl Blanchard]

Man Rob you hit the nail on the head! Agree 100%!  What chaps me about all of this is the gougers aren't really contributing members. They are on here for one thing and thats to make money. If it was my site I'd ban all of em 

[bearpaw]

I appreciate that members want to watch out for each other, that's not a bad thing, but I have a little different view, I like the free market system, if someone asks too much don't buy it? On the other hand if there is only one place to get something maybe even paying more than you would like is better than not getting what you need? I figure people should be able to decide for themselves what they want to charge or pay without someone else telling them what they can charge or pay.

As some one whom scrambled for some rounds 5 ish years ago and paid an exorbitant ammount for some much needed ammo i can day Im not so sorry for folks.

After Trump was elected  i saw 223 brass case dip as low as 28c a round if purchased by the thousand.  I personally shared when i found buckshot for 250 rounds for $90 TYD... When you can buy new at or less than reloading price  how can you not stock up?

I learned my lesson Im just saddened to know many of you have been through more than 1 of these shortages and didnt learn anything.

Difference between Repubics and Damorats. Repubics if you don't like guns don't own one, If you don't like the prices don't spend your money. DEMS if you don't like guns ban them for everybody, if you don't like the prices bytch and complain about price gouging or condem those that have what you want but didn't get when the prices were lower.
Those in or prior military will understand PPPP  on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
After all you had 4 years to read the writing on the walls but failed to read it.
Yes I will admit prices for brass are ridiculous but of the 12K pieces of 556 brass I acquired less than 50 did I actually purchase the rest the only thing it cost me was gas to and from the range and time and effort to pick them up and prep them.
