I was at an auction on sunday and saw 22lr bricks selling for $95,00 each. What is happening to the common sense factor or do people have more money than brains.
Simply rule of supply and demand. What I don't understand is the people who are beating up the sellers of the ammo and guns. The buyers are responsible for setting the price.
Do these same people jump on the market when it reverses and supply is abundant. When the poor soul who has spent every penny of his lunch money and has to sell his hoard for 50 cents on the dollar.
Its absolutely retarded. I always keep a qty of around 1500-2000 rounds of 22lr on hand just because you never knew when walmart was going to get the bulk packs in even before this whole hoopla so I have should have enough for the another 12 months or so shooting conservatively. I have a lot of semi 22's to feed and I would go broke trying to shoot them at these prices. People are insane. Just relax for a month or two and it will adjust out. I refuse to pay insane prices for any ammo.
I won't pay what these people are selling them for but I can get 50-150 shells when I stop at the local shop for 3.09/50. I got lucky at Walmart today and picked up a 1000 round pack for $48.
I find it interesting how the big retail stores like Cabelas, Dicks, and Walmart still sell their ammo and components at or around pre-Newtown prices. Yet alot of the smaller "Mom & Pop" shops are now 3x to 4x the price.
I noticed the same exact thing....no price gouging at Walmart...where do you guys think those 80-100$ bricks of ammo are coming from?? Walmart for 14.97 or whatever lol.

I knew we were in trouble when the hoarders started delving into the match ammo........at 9-15 bucks/50 rounds I don't even like buying it, and I need it for competition.........these people are crazy....
Dicks will have them for $22.99 (525) if you're lucky enough to get them wen they hit the shelf. Sportsmen Supply in Butler always has stock at about $39.99 for 525.
