Selling Ammo At Gunshow. Whats A Fair Price For 22lr and 223?

[jonp]

Gunshow this weekend and i thought I'd bring some extra i have.

I have a case of Rem 223, 62gr fmj and 10 bricks of Thunderbolt 22lr.

I know what rediculous prices gunbroker has but im not a scalper. What would be a fair price other than "what someone is willing to pay"?

From $.75 to $1.00 a round for the 223. Over a buck a round is gouging for sure. I'd be bagging them in bags of 20 for $20... :--)
Thunderbolts are at least $.10 a round. I'd be asking probably $60 to 65 for a brick of 500 and not feel bad about it. Hey, if you have pushback, you can always drop the price.

around here Frontier sells for $15/20 and Win. $25/20 not much Rem to be had.

[Traffer]

I wouldn't pay more than 5 cents per round for premium match grade 22lr.

Glad I stocked up during the last shortage. I bought lots of Thunderbolts for .6-.7 /round, shipped. Now Midway has them for .10/rd, although right now they are out of stock. Most .22 is going for .16/round!

[jonp]

Prices are all over the place but i wouldn't charge $100/brick like gunbroker.

$50/500 on the 22lr and $20/ box for the 223 i guess?

The Wally World closest to me has Winchester .22 lr for $9.60 for 50 rounds. You don't want to screw anyone but don't give it away.

Then you won't be buying any ever again. Wholesale didn't even get that low for anything decent between 2015 and now. Lowest I saw wholesale was $0.065 a round.

$30-35 for the thunderduds and $.40-.50 per for the .223.

Name your price, and take reasonable offers. You invested in it, and they didn’t.

I still have 5 pails of the 1400 Rem golden i bought at WalMart for $49.99

Where would get that?

I believe that Traffer reloads .22 rimfire, as doesn't really need to buy any at any price. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Traffer. I think I remember reading your previous threads on the subject. Very interesting for those who have the time and interest to tinker. Maybe not so much for busy folks who burn through thousands of rounds.

The local Bimart had a shelf full of Winchester yesterday, for 60 cents per round. The guy behind the counter said that shelf would likely be empty in short order.

Ya shoot lots of $0.05/round "premium match grade"?......Right

Lapua Polar Plus no doubt.

Local farm and ranch has 223 for 65 cents a round. I have some Federal Auto Match .22 I plan on putting a price of 9-10 cents a round on it at our show in 3 weeks.

jonp, I don't envy your situation. I will say it's nice of you to sell your excess ammunition. And, at the same time trying to be reasonable and fair in regarding it's price.

If you set the prices low, you'll be sold out in short order would be my guess. Some of it will wind up in the hands of shooters who enjoy hunting small game, etc. And some of it will wind up in the hands of gougers. And you can bet your keyboard someone in the show will buy as much as you will sell them, only to walk it back to their table and mark the price up.

It's your money mister, set the prices where you feel comfortable and live with it. Some will shake your hand and thank you for being fair, and others are bound to glare and scream foul. And that's just about how I see the ammunition situation these days. Good luck!

Signup sheet with price they are willing to pay and at end of day (or until you feel guilty) highest bidder gets them.
