Good price is < market price
Bad price > market price
Fair price = market price
Market price = gunbroker.com price

It is so hard, particularly now, to determine 'fair market price', I am not sure you can do it. Certainly not without research based upon 'in stock', which seems to be in short supply. I tried to get a price figured out for a couple items but when I actually clicked on them there were none in stock.

I’m not saying this is a good price, but that appears to be a fair price based on my observations of what sells and what doesn’t. I may add, I personally would not pay a 3x multiplier but do believe that is what the current market will tolerate.

if you want fair price buy local,i dont really care what drama people are spewing i have not seen any price increase at cabelas.avaiability yes but price NO.I JUST PICKED UP 3K OF PRIMERS FOR $210,FEDERAL MATCH.You think $70 a brick is "normal"?
Post by: KFhunter on February 14, 2021, 06:45:55 AM
There is no ammo shortage as far as I can tell. Ammo is for sale all over the place, you just have to buy it at 3x the price from the a**hat that was at Cabela's when they open the door. Seriously go on the waguns forum and look at the ammo classifieds, there is no shortage of 22lr,9mm,380,40sw,45,223,243,308,30/06,30-30,12ga. You can spot the previose spoken of easily
Exactly, and according to some here we should thank them for doing that for us.

Well, what is 'normal'? That would be the question. I doubt prices will ever get completely back to where they were. 'Normal', until Thomas Crapper got the toilet figured out, was to have an outhouse. I would imagine there were some people that were pretty resistant to the idea of an 'indoor toilet' at first, but it certainly is 'normal' now.
Or Mr. Ford's 'assembly line', that made it possible for 'regular folk' to be able to afford a car. Or. Or. Or.

Now you can flip them for $1K for 23!!! Weeeeeee!

I gave all 2,000 of them to a good friend that reloads. No charge as he often loads up rounds for my 7 mag and never asks for anything in return.

I have a friend I gave a 'bucket' of reloaded 9mm to as I do not have one any more. He got pretty excited and I had no idea why. Now I know. It did not make sense to me at the time as 9mm is cheap, and plentiful, right?
:dunno:
Crazy how much the stuff is going for. Makes me a little sad that I will actually hesitate to go shoot because the price (for now) would be so high if I need to restock supplies.

There's good ways to train w/o shooting for hanguns, but not so much rifles.

exactly,there may be a shortage but a shortage is not the same as price gauging.if you shop where everyone else shops you prob. wont find much often. :twocents:if you want fair price buy local,i dont really care what drama people are spewing i have not seen any price increase at cabelas.avaiability yes but price NO.I JUST PICKED UP 3K OF PRIMERS FOR $210,FEDERAL MATCH.

I call my local Sportsmans a couple times a week asking if they have gotten any primers or powder in and have been getting told NO every time.
My timing must suck :dunno: ;)

interesting that small pistol primers were found recently at Sportsmans Warehouse.

Yeah, you would have to get incredibly lucky to call in the 5 minutes they are on the shelf. Sometimes they come out of a box and go directly into a cart without touching the shelf.

Miles,

I was there in the morning and picked up 2 boxes of 9mm. While looking around an older lady that works there asked if she could help me find anything. I laughed and jokingly said “primers”. She said “we’ve got some that we’re processing in the back, grab lunch and come back in an hour”. An hour later they were on the shelves. They had quite a few boxes. I check every couple days for 9mm and primers. Yesterday they had a bunch of handgun ammo, but it was all home defense expensive stuff, no target ammo. They did have quite a few boxes of .22 ammo as well.
I wouldn’t rely on calling and asking, just pop in occasionally and get to know one of the individuals that work in that area. They will tell you when the last truck came in and how long it generally takes to get the stuff on the floor.

Now with regards to the Cabelas down the street from my house, they SUCK. I rarely find anything there. It’s horrible when compared to Sportsman’s for shooting needs. Currently they don’t even have rifle ammo, sportsman’s has some on the shelf every time I’ve been there for the last 2 weeks. I don’t get it? Perhaps everyone thinks Cabelas is the only place in town? I refuse to stand in that line before they open just to race to the back with all the old geezers filling their basement. Lol
Just wait, shortly Sportsman's will be as useless as Cabelas unfortunately.

I stop at sportsman’s several times a week. I keep tabs on what is going on. If you did the same in WA you could probably find some product. Obviously don’t go in the evening when the whole population is off work for the day.
Post by: M_ray on February 27, 2021, 07:16:16 AM
Most all the shops are on first name basis by now. When I was in Wyoming and Montana recently there was far more stuff on the shelves than in Wa. I’m getting some stuff but trust me I’ve also walked out of stores first thing in the morning 100 times lately empty handed. I get what your saying but just because you keep checking the well in a drought doesn’t make the rain appear 😉 Again totally jealous good for you!

Lots of theories. Strictly speaking about Sportsman’s, the shipment days aren’t always the same from what I’ve been told. There are limits on certain products. I’ve found 9mm ammo pretty regularly with no connection to the counter guy. I always make it a point to ask about product and recent history, some are more friendly than others with info. You just have to make it a point to stop regularly. If you go in on the one afternoon of the month that they are out, I know it’s hard to believe that “normal people” have found any ammo. I’ve been in several afternoons and seen plenty of ammo. They did move the common high requested ammo to a shelf in customer service. I believe that’s due in some part to theft from the signs I saw the week before they moved them. I walked away today from around 100 boxes of 9mm because none of it was the target ammo I wanted. At 2 boxes per customer, that’s 50 folks who can get some if they needed it. I’ve purchased over 30 boxes of target 9mm locally in the last 4 months... it’s out there. I’ve also never paid over $14 a box.
I got a part time job at our local one. I see freight come in on Monday, Monday, Monday and then when I tell people the next freight should be the next Monday, it's delayed and doesn't show until Wednesday. The key thing is the stores only get freight once a week so calling multiple times doesn't help.
Post by: M_ray on February 27, 2021, 08:47:06 AM
I hear ya. I got a little excited to find primers yesterday. It’s nice walking out with something you were actually looking for. I think things will change for the better in a few months. I’ve noticed a slight change lately (for the better).
BTW I have found primers recently but they both limited purchase of only 200 or 500. No one is getting a brick of 1k.
