Scrolling through armslist today and came across this

I'll take 'em all!

Just trying to make rent! They closed down my hot dog stand!

After Sandy Hook those would have already been snapped up. The seller is just a little ahead of the next tragedy.

One step above Thunderbolt, but hey, if ya just GOT to have some 22.

[Miker12]

So it is 0.19 cents per round and if one is complaining about the price why did you NOT stock up when the prices went down for the last decade?

[rockbronco]

Capitalism.

Still better than communism though.

That’s a good way to look at it

Be glad price didn't increase as much as candy bar cost. Im sure few of you had bought it for a nickel instead of a dollar.

To think, 50 years from now. $1k instead of $100.

People’s inability to pre plan should cost them.
Luckily everyone here pretty much knew to “buy it cheap, and stack it deep”, no sympathy for those that fail to learn from the past.

That's just like when Pistol Parlor tried to charge me $70 for 1,000 CCI small rifle primers...

The .22 hording after SandyHook really pissed me off. I couldn't easily replenish it so I had to slow the kids down/take them out less to make it stretch. 9mm and 5.56 came back before .22 did. It was pretty ridiculous.

I happened to be up by pistol parlour Saturday so stopped in to see what they had. They had glocks for $700+. During the 5min I was in there, several people wanted to buy them.

Oh hell, that's nothing. Look at this.

Two sides to this, neither is wrong, but one deserves a FU.

To the gun shops selling high not knowing when they’ll see more product, no problem.

To the guy with a bunch of product he’s had and looking to make some extra cash due to the demand, no problem.

To the assholes that do nothing but buy with no thought of anything other than making money, well, it’s a free market, but their greed is what’s helping drive the shortage.

Reminds me of the post Sandy Hook days when Joe Bob and his kin would show up to camp out at Walmart just to clear the shelves and laugh as someone who really could use the Ammo was left without unless he wanted to pay their outrageous prices.
Not illegal, but not right either.

I remember talking with an FFL and was very surprised to learn some of his customers were paying him $1,200 for 1,000 rounds of 9mm. The FFL told me that his biggest problem was that he was having extreme difficultly restocking ammunition and new firearms from his distributors.
