Things have gotten really strange. I dont know if there are rip offs happening but I just sold off the rest of my 9mm. 70 rounds .. met the guy and ... he proceeded to take out each and every round from the boxes and examining it like he was looking for covid. I thought he would look at a few just to make sure it was what I said it was but .. 70 rounds
Yeah, but for $140 it was worth it, right?
For $140 for 70 rds I would have brought a freakin magnifying glass and informed him to take his time!!

Just looked at J&G website in Prescott. Wow, they look like Cheaper Than Dirt prices. $650 for cheapo Rooskie .223 and $700 for 9mm. Brass case, add on another 100 bucks. Boy, I'm glad I reload.
Good god. It amazes me what panic does to people. I mean people have to be paying these prices as low stock is everywhere and the price keeps climbing!
I feel torn about the increasing ammo prices. On one hand, it's reasonable for the market to determine prices, but what J&G and Cheaper Than Dirt are doing seems nuts. I think there would be some benefit to retailers raising the prices on ammo somewhat.
There might be a sweetspot on price where people stop buying ammo from retailers only to list in skyhigh on Armslist, and where ammo wouldn't fly off the shelves so fast. The more ammo is seen in stock, the less panicked people will be buying ammo they don't need. It's just the toilet paper shortage all over again... Except I can't defend my family with toilet paper.
It's hard to find and will only get harder to find, depending on who hold office at this time next summer, may not be able to buy any at all or ever again for that matter.
