How much would you sell your 500 rnd 22lr boxes for?

[jcwit]

If everything in this world were sold at auction, there would be a lot of unhappy people. Those with the financial means would have no problem spending whatever it takes to acquire their ammunition or firearms or antiques or guitars or watches or computers or anything else that people yearn to own.

Those on fixed incomes would get screwed every time because chances are slim--real slim--that they could keep up with the high-roller bidders and buyers.

True, Very True. And did you detect the sarcasm in my post?

This is why the big box retailers do not use this method, thereby buying in huge quantities and selling at a marginal markup to the masses, whether they be on a fixed income, or be a high roller, and making a higher living standard of living here. It seems to work well.

But then I also surmise many here think the big box stores have no idea how to determine the "Fair Market Price", or is it in fact the "Street Price"?

I wish I'd seen the shortage coming. I would have been able to set the price.

What is the matter, are you blind. All you have to do to set the price is buy all of it from the scalpers and your in the business of setting your own price.

Just another example of capitalism at work. Don't own a gun or even want to shoot? Camp out at Walmat and buy all you can when you can. Then flip it and double, triple, or quadruple your expense. Capitolism. Do I like this? No. Do I wish something could be done about it? Yes. Can something be done about it? Probably not. The vast majority of members on this board would not do anything remotely resembling this. Eventually, things will stabilize, the ammo will be available, but the poor schmucks who got in late on the game will get their clocks cleaned, when they cannot even recoup what they paid. What I have is not for sale, but if a kid needed some, I would see to it that they had some.

Better get hip boots on, the thread depth is increasing apace.

Pink and white unicorn tears used to go for twenty cents a gallon.

Well, that's just capitalism at work.
If you don't like it, you're a communist.

If my little bit of 22LR hadn't been lost in that tragic boating accident...

I've never bought or reloaded any ammo with the idea of selling it. I've never sold any cartridges and never plan to. If I'm out hunting or shooting with friends I share whatever I have. If a Cast Boolit member was local to me and needed some 22LR and I knew I had more than enough for my own kids, sharing would be the right thing to do. Price? No money! Trade for something else.

Best scenario I can think of is a joint trip to the range. He donates the range fees and I donate a couple of bricks of 22s to him and his kids.

I would be tempted to take you up on that deal if it weren't three hours from my door to Dayton.

[Lead Fred]

I have 2000 CCI Stingers & 500 Aquilla super mags all put away, not for sale at any price.
The other this & that 1000 is for my grand son to shoot up

That is not why big box stores sell at a low mark-up to the masses.

No, that would make you a Democrat

Neither do they attempt to gouge their customers, as the worthless ones in the secondary black market attempting to sell their products for the so called "new norm". Was using it as an example.

I am not looking to sell what I have right now, but if a close friend in the shooting game were to ask if I had any and they NEEDED it (totally out, want to plink gophers with the kids, etc...) I would gladly hand them one for $20. The bricks I have I paid $15 for, I figure they would be about 20 on the shelf today, and wouldn't want to screw over someone like that, even though people are paying triple that. If I like you well enough to sell my .22's, then I certainly don't want to take advantage of that person either. I have already given away one brick to a friend that has always helped if I needed it. I am in no big crunch, and only really shoot .22's at gophers anyways, so it is not a huge issue to me, at least for a few more months, on top of that we could make this gopher season fine with what we have.

The other side of the slippery slope being that if a brick got worth enough to be tempting ($100+) I would figure we have big problems and I will want to hang onto that ammo for dear life anyways.
