    I bet those stickers are a attempt to curb the employee "shrinkage" that is often spoken of on here. The guy supplementing his stocker or assistant manager wally world check by selling 22s from the trunk of his car.

    My local Wal-Mart had the 1000-round boxes of Winchester M-22 this morning. A friend of mine stopped in on his way to work and there were no customers other than him, so he bought his limit of three and left. Upon inspecting the boxes later, he noticed that the barcodes had been blacked out with a Sharpie and a sticker placed over them that read "If this product is found for sale at a location other than Wal-Mart, please call 1-800-Walmart". I thought that was hilarious, as Wal-Mart has no control over what you have legally bought and paid for in their store. My friend and I don't flip ammo, so some silly stickers don't mean a thing, but it's still funny nonetheless.

    How can you guys sleep at night having so much while others have so little?

    Grandkids and stuff...

    That's what kills me about all of this. All I keep hearing about is how we're screwing the kids over with all of this. Yet every time I pass by the ammunition cabinet at Walmart, there isn't a person waiting who isn't on Social Security.

    We want the "War On Drugs" stopped. But these damn ammo flippers.....Throw the book at em'! I guess $60.00 for a gram of cocaine that last 10 minutes isn't bad. But pay the same for a brick of .22's, and the guy should be drawn and quartered. Only in America!

    Could someone explain the term 'neckbeard'? I've read of the term 'neckbeard' within the context of ammo flippers in another forum.

    :dunno:

    Seriously, I plan on dropping $10-20k on ammo in the next year. 223, 7.62x39, and 22. Even if I buy at Walmart prices and sell at Walmart prices, what better return could I make right now than ammo? 2% on a bank CD?

    Just realized what some folks are up to and it makes me sad.... or.......Noooooo...........S * I * C * K......................... and tired of it... for sure

    Flipping ammo is the only way I can afford tires for the 24" rims on my Escalade ever since BigO stopped accepting wick.

    I just go to the the walmart distribution center in seymour and buy 50000 rounds before it gets on the truck to go to the store(they accept wick and ebt right at the loading dock) that way I can sleep in and watch the Steve Wilco show.

    I just did a quick total of 7.62x39 listed as IN STOCK on Luckygunner's website. It's nearly 400,000 rounds listed as IN STOCK. They have 1000 round cases for as low as $220. If I buy 50 cases right now at $220, that's $11,000. Then in 2016, when the repubs drum up the "omg, if Hillary wins, she's going to ban our guns, you have to vote for Christie!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!" crap and the going rate for those cases is $350, why am I wrong to sell them for that?

    If I buy 50,000 rounds today, that still leaves nearly 350,000 rounds for other customers to buy. Those who I would sell to during the next panic had the same opportunity to buy today that I did.

    How is the above any different than buying gold, silver, stocks, baseball cards, furbies, cabbage patch dolls, nascar collectibles, or any other such item in the hopes of earning a future profit? Do I have a duty sell any of those items to buyers at a discount like everyone seems to think ammo sellers do?
