I bought an AR recently and was stuck in the unfortunate position of trying to find .223 for my new toy. I was one of the folks that really just wanted a box or two to be able to try and didn't have the time to go running around chasing ammo at stores. It's 20 minutes in one direction to check one store, then 20 minutes in another direction to check another, and before you know it the whole day's gone. I've got a family that requires that time. I gladly over-paid some folks on here for a few boxes to start with, then was able to build a little supply at regular price by watching stock online. I had a need for a few boxes of ammo, was willing to pay a premium, and the free market met that need. It's a great country and I'll ask the price police to kindly mind their own business.

Nobody seems to get the key point here. The guy isn't TRYING to sell anything. A friend came to him and said "I'll give you XX a brick for your ammo because I know you have a stash". The friend knows that XX is lower than online price, and that it is more than what the OP will be able to re-buy at at some point. If the friend offered OP original price plus $5 would it still be gouging? What about the fact we don't know what the new normal will be? The OP could be losing $5 or 10 a brick if he sold at buying price plus a couple dollars. The friend offered a price that would be no risk to the OP, and would even LIKELY (but not GUARANTEED) get him a profit if he waits long enough.

Pretty sure theres a few here that are doing it. Thats why they defended so intensely. ohhh well i will take my morals and their authority and know who to buy from and who not to.
I haven't listed a gun or ammo on here in 2+ years. I defend capitalism strongly and stand against socialism at every opportunity.

^This.
I've sold a few things, but not much. Go back and look at my sales and see that I'm not a "price gouger" as people so quickly say.
Still, I will defend capitalism. Period.

Hi, my name is Bunnykid, I am a price gouger, if it offends your senses of me selling something at the same price I would have to pay for it online feel free to never look at any ads I post up
Im not against capitalism at all. I understand it rather clearly. Buy something make a profit so you can get more to sell or just to make some money. To buy something turn around and completly screw the people who want or need it. That is a crime against morality. And the lack of morals in this country is one of the biggest reasons this country is headed to the dumps. It takes away from the sport of shooting, it takes away from the sport of hunting. It takes away from people who depend on those shells to put food on there table. But now cant get them or afford them because some one is greedy and wants to retire by sticking it to people and causing the price to go threw the roof for everyone. And those are some of the reasons it is theft.
So defend capitalisim I have no problem with that, I defend it as well. But to defend so people can feel better about screwing people over. Useing capitalizim as an excuse to tell there self its ok to screw another person out of there money. I absolutly do not defend. And never will. Period

We are talking about ammo, who needs it and who determines who is truly in need?
Yea we are talking ammo. But what i said can reach far beyound ammo. Its the way people think and act now days. This act of GREED on alamo ammo and many others is just one example, and people defending it just because capitalizim is there for them to hang there argument on is yet another.
No shortage here.
Though had to have the four people with me get a brick also.
They also had bricks of blazer 22lr for 34.00 and Federal Match 22lr Bulk
Before the PM's come in where this was Ill let you know its not in Indiana. I stopped by Fin, Feather and Fur in Ashland, Ohio on the way home from Cleveland.

Wonder how many here selling ammo at any price actually have a retail license and collect sales tax on their sales and claim their profits on their tax forms?
Just wondering how far they wish the LEGAL sales of capitalism should go and when it becomes ILLEGAL.
Remember you can't make up your own laws.

nope just dont like see people get screwed by greedy people!!!!!
If we would look at this but use the medical industry instead of ammo, guns, and related products I think there would be a total different outlook. Take insurance out of the equation and all of a sudden the hospital, Dr's. Drug manufacturs are all over charging and greedy. How many years has this been a focus of both parties.
Oh the spin, the spin!

Ayn Rand would have a field day with this place.
One of the only upsides of the upcoming food shortages is that there likely won't be a functioning internet for the whiners to complain on.
Let's say there's a factory with 1000 employees. The owner gives them a choice of a 10% pay cut or a 10% layoff by seniority. How many of the top 900 in seniority are going to vote for the pay cut? Share the wealth only seems to be a good concept when you're on the outside looking in.

I don't know of anyone that got "ripped off". 22 caliber ammo is not a necessity like food or water. It is a "WANT", no matter what you think. As far as I know, no one is forced to buy any at the current price! It is a free society (yet). You have the right to not buy from the business that you think "took advantage".
However in a free market people are allowed to price items the way they want. I like it that way - and NO I did not sell any ammo or guns for years. I do buy when the price is what I am willing to pay. I have enough ammo and firearms that I do not, nor will I need, to purchase any until the prices go down. That will happen when the supply lines fill up and the Feds quit threatening. It has happened before and WILL happen again. If the people like you would stock ammo when the prices go back down so you don't run out - there would be no more threads like this.
I have known many people in my 71 years, and can not think of a single one that hunted that needs a whole lot of 22 rifle shells. When I was a lad, my father died when I was 10 and we were poor (didn't think so then), I can remember buying single 22 LR's at the Co-op for $.01 each. I killed many squirrel with a nickles worth (5) of shells in my gun, can't ever remember running out before the hunt was over.
