sittin on over 3K rounds of factory 223 5.56 - what to do

[draftyranger]

If I had all that ammo, I would keep it! My AR's would'nt work with out it!

After seeing it go for over $1 a round on gunbroker it would be hard for me not to put it on there and see how high it goes.

 

[t-trader]

I would hold on to it as you never know what is going to happen.

 

[Beau]

I'll give you $5 a round. I need it right now.


























just kidding. But if you have it to spare put it up and get everything you can for it. I doubt the round will banned.

 

[rugertoter]

Well, I have an ethical dilemma - I am sittin on several thousand rounds of 223/5.56 ammo - mostly PMC and Remington. Bought it when prices were low low low. Always be prepared right? Anyway, I can probably flip this for a tidy profit but is it right? I want to support my fellow shooters and it is pissing me off seeing all the retailers jack up the prices on all of us! However, I also have several mouths to feed and college tuition in my future. I have read where some think it is some kind of sin to try to make money now during all the panic buying whereas others use the fool and their $ sort of arguements to justify doubling or tripling prices

I could list it on gunbroker at 99 cents starting and no reserve i suppose. from what I have been seeing it may sell for $1 a round

thoughts.

Personally, I would keep everything that you have. It may be harder to replace in the near future.

I feel bad for the guys who just recently bought them an AR and cant get any ammo or have to pay more for the ammo than what they did for their AR!

 

[Turf Doctor]

Why sell the ammo. Sure you could make a profit, which is not against the law. But if you want to replace it, you will be paying a higher price like everybody else. Your profit would be lost in buying ammo at a later time.

Just my thought..

 

[IndyTacoma]

You bought all the ammo for a reason i would not sell it just cause price went up a little. Its way to early to know what direction all this will go.

 

[natestyle]

sell some, I think ammo will go back down. supply and demand.

 

[natestyle]

ammo

this isn't first time things went crazy and ammo went back down

 

[Amsdorf]

If you want to sell it, sell it. Nothing wrong with selling it at a price the market will bear.

A guy in our area just put up 17 PMAGS on Armslist, in their original packaging, unopened, for ... $100 each.

3k rounds isn't a lot.

That's what I was thinking! And I would shoot it personally.

 

[Miller Tyme]

You must poll the INGO gouging police to determine what a suitable price is.

This...............






3k isn't a lot of ammo but I and many others wouldn't fault you for selling your ammo and putting the money to better use with your family.

If the ammo is excess to your needs, then pass it along to someone that does need it. Post it on GunBroker and let the market decide what it is worth. If it sells for .50 a round, then fine, but if someone out there wants it bad enough to spend a buck per round, then let them have it. There is nothing morally wrong with selling it for what someone is willing to pay for it.

This is not like you have the market cornered and are inflating prices. What you have has a value and that value climbs and drops depending on demand. If the market were flooded with cheap ammo which drove prices down to 10 cents per round, the same jackwads that think selling for current market value is immoral, would not hesitate to insist you take a loss and sell it for what they can buy it for elsewhere. Things are worth what they are worth. Nobody likes high ammo prices, but if you do sell, you need to sell for what it's worth, not for what you paid for it.

I've been thinking the same thing, should I sell 5k rnds of evil green tip or not.

 

[RGR12]

You answered the question yourself when you said you have several mouths to feed.

 

[roisigns]

I've seen 60 cents a round at Dick's

 

[irishfan]

I've sold ammo that I haven't needed and feel no guilt about it. Make the money to take care of your family or just make cash if you want it.

 

[MontereyC6]

3k rounds isn't a lot.

QFT. If that's all you have, you'd better buy more.

 

[winchester]

if you really love to shoot i wouldent sell it. 3k isnt very many when it comes to shooting an ar. my 3 sons and i blasted 2k in a weekend back in october just cutting down a few trees.
