Gander Mt.

[RedThunder]

Well, they seem to be the only major retailer taking advantage of the times...and us. Went in last week and they finally had some .308.....wait for it....$50.00 a box! I mentioned it to one of the guys working there and he had the stones to reply "what's wrong with making money."

I will never go back to Gander Mt for a single item, regardless of how much it is or how much harder it will be to get it online. I'm so pissed. Worthless pricks.


And no, they will not get an honorable mention for gunshop of the year.

What gander Mountain store wants all your money for a few rounds of ammo with such nice enployees?

 

[Oresti]

Would you rather have ammo at $50 a box and in stock or $25 a box and out of stock? Indeed, WHAT is wrong with making money?

 

[vwarren]

So what IS wrong with making money? Or what is wrong with Capitalism? If the price is too high then it won't sell which means they will lower the price. I'm not mad at them. Just my $.02

So in a natural disaster $12.00 for a gallon of water is that cool

Capitalsm ?
or
Exploitation ?

 

[vwarren]

We are a long way from a natural disaster. And in that case you will take what you need. Money will be worthless in that case. Water will be the gold.

I've seen .308 at WalMart and Meijers, but can't remember it they had any today. I've done some price checking and yes things are a bit high, but the sales do come and go. I think Target is a bit pricey, but you can count on it being in stock. Keep looking, I'll keep an eye out.

Unbelievable how folks think the retail market works. Both the sellers and the buyers.

Your loss someone else's gain. I have been going to gander for a the last 3 to 4 months and there ammo hasn't went up to much conpared to local shops and private sells getting a buck and more a round for 223/556. And when they got it 22lr and 9mm its not abnormaly high. Thats here in fort wayne.

 

[aaron580]

I have been going the Ft wayne gander and have gotten some pretty good deals there. I plan on going back this thursday since I missed last week. remington UMC 9mm is still 15$ a box and 525 packs of 22LR are still 25$.

"what's wrong with making money."

QFT

I've been toying around with writing up a short paper illustrating why the panic won't end until prices actually reflect demand. Maybe next week when I'm on break...

Gander Mt. For Archery.....yes
Gander Mt. For firearms/accessories.....absolutely NOT!

 

[Bob2]

I must have been in the wrong isle. I was at FW gander this weekend and didn't see any 9 or 45 for less than $50 for 50. Basically no 22, def no bulk 22

I was in Greenwood, Gander, Sat. 2nd. I saw Match ammo, I think Federal Gold Medal????? It was indeed, $49.99 per box of 20 ..... do not know what it was going for B4 the "panic" .....

What's a "fair" per-round price to pay for .308 or 7.62x51mm? I haven't really watched the price of that ammo prior to the shortage so I have no comparison.

I have no idea what the "fair" price would be, no more than I know how much your "fair" share of taxes would be!

at the last october 1500 i bought surplus nato rounds for 50 cents per

 

[nate1865]

What's needed is more supply, and in order for supply to go up, price has to go up.

Right now the market supports higher prices which is going to increase the supply.

Start your own ammo company and charge less than the market price. You'll help increase supply and lower the price for someone.

If you were to artificially lower the price of ammunition, like is often tried with rent control, you actually decrease supply, because not everyone can make it at the reduced price.

Is this the same way the price of gas works? hehehehehehe

 

[dailylc]

I guess you've never bought a bottles water at a gas station! Or better yet, a gallon of gasoline
