Ammo Price "Top This" Contest

[Dean C.]

I don't understand. How is it scary?

When demand meets supply, aren't we happy that the market has found its level?

The Dillon has already paid for itself

I know it's $35 or more everywhere in Avon except Parabellum and he's at $28 I believe.

For those old enough there was a cabbage patch craze back in the day and it shows people will pay for what they want..... So anything is only worth what you are willing pay !?

Sorry off topic a little, lol

Sorry off topic a little, lol

Not by my standards

The scarcity of a highly desired item causing prices to increase and people to go crazy. And the cabbage patch kid craze wasn’t that long ago. I had just gotten out of high school, oh crap it was a long time ago.

I was quoted yesterday by a local shop $39.99 for 20 9mm. Is that a good deal?

This is INGO, we are required to be off topic at least once in every thread. Don't believe me? Go read the FAQ! Well, if we had a FAQ, you could read it there.

I've git a couple cases of those federal 9mm in my closet. If anyone wants them at the Gunbroker price......please let me know. Ive got some waterfront property available in downtown indy too.

 

[walleyepw]

Heck, if some one wants to buy a box of 9mm I have a box I could let go for $30. I wouldn't travel more than a couple of miles to the local wally world to make the exchange.

I have pondered this question quite a bit (largely due to the intensity of those upset by higher ammo prices) and have a hypothesis that they are using ammo prices as a measure of how good our world is going, much like some folks do similar looking at their 401k balances. That angst at CTD, who is usually have the first and steepest price changes, is less about CTD and more about they are upset that things are not going well by that measure.

And they may be right, ammo pricing may be a good measure of how things are going...

Cheaper than dirt: Winchester 9mm 50 rounds 124 gr FMJ "our low price" $64.89

[Ingomike]

Saw an article today the ammo manufacturers do not expect to meet demand until late next year at the soonest. Keep this page warm, more to come...

Range local to me, and the scary thing is that it is selling quickly (or at least appears to be)

I bought .270 today for $17.99

 

[STEEL CORE]

OUCH !!!

 

[drillsgt]

The gun industry works on pretty small margins overall so when something like this happens it's a chance for them to make some $$. I doubt though that by the time product reaches your LGS they are getting rich off it. It's amazing that just back in say January/February it was a total buyers market.

So happy I reload *and* stocked up earlier this year.
