That’s a good way to look at it
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.

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.

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.

SMG... What a guy, giving up your stash so others won't do without... heart warming I tell you...
Here is another deep discounter from another board...
"I have 2000 rounds of 115 gr Magtech that I'm asking $45 for a box of 50. Just checked Cheaper than Dirt and they are asking $59.89 Located in Malvern."
Speaking of hot-dog stands... back in the mid-80's I was living in upstate NY and roadside stands were everywhere... I stopped regularly at a few of them - love those Sabrett all-beef with onion sauce... anyway one day I asked the vendor if it was worthwhile to buy the tow-behind cart and sit out by the side of a road all day... They replied they only setup about 4 hrs and on a typical day they net $400 or so (back in the 80's when dogs were a buck). Might not be a bad idea after all...

Just for info cheaper than dirt isnt doing so well. Closed stored and locals dont like them. Still they wont learn.

Man I dont know what it was but the dirty water dogs that came from the carts in Manhattan were AWESOME back in the day!
Could have been the water that was never changed, the rat feces, the air pollution but .. Those cart dogs with onions for a buck were like NYC gourmet!! :mrgreen:
The street pretzels were awesome too back in the 70-80's .. they changed how they did them later on but the older ones were great.
I remember the ballyhoo regarding the hot dog guy during the last ammo rush. I didnt get the hate for his cart. Whatever a dude does to make a living that is legal is honorable. I dont look down my nose at anyone selling dogs and sausage or cleaning toilets.
400 bucks for a few hours slinging dogs .. sounds like a fair deal to me!!
