Does ammo go through a metamorphosis once it passes the cash register? How does one go about selling used ammo that still loads just the same and goes bang?
The stretches that people will make to hate on "gougers".
Not hating on a gouger, they can do what they like. I haven't shot factory practice ammo in over a year. It will be several years before I need do so again.
Is this wrong? Maybe not, but how about a gun that someone bought, decided they didn't like, didn't shoot it and sold it back to the shop? Would they then be OK to say it is new? Magazines? Parts? Primers? Presses?
Just because someone who owns a store bought it, doesn't magically make it not used. I wouldn't buy something purchased at a retail store for resale at the same or higher price when I could go to that retail store and purchase it for, why would I do so if they hang a sign on the front door?
The practice is sketchy and if they are willing to do this, then that tells me what I need to know about the integrity of that store.
We are constantly being told that the "little guy" needs us to stop buying from the big box stores or online and patronize them because they provide better service.
Q: Pray tell, what exact service is this?
A: Take away a customer's opportunity to purchase the product from someone else at a lower price, so this shop can make money.
