WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER!!!

[deviljon]

From now on I'm only selling the good stuff in the Contributor's Lounge.

here's the thing... it's very difficult to sell for less than the going rate - for two reasons; you can't replace it for the same cost and the buyer likely will sell it at a higher price.

I've seriously considered selling some of my stash... but I'm always fair, and since I wouldn't buy at current prices, I'm not going to sell at current prices (unless I get desperate for cash).

So unless it's someone I know personally - I'm just keeping what I have. If SHTF and the guy next to me is out of ammo, I'll stock him up.

For those without supplies - just save what you have and wait for what you need... it won't be priced this high forever (but will never go down to what is was before).

IF you absolutely can't wait - you're gonna have to pay the price (but I wouldn't).

Interestingly though - not long before the panic, many of us were talking about how we are addicted to ammo... always buying when on sale and never stopping (even when we didn't need it)... I guess it was a premonition?

So does your suggestion apply to vendors only? I may not have any overhead, but it doesn't make sense to sell my ammunition for less than it would cost me to replace it?

This came up very recently while negotiating a trade. Other party wanted me to trade my 5.56 at last year pricing. Unfortunately, it appears we didn't come to terms.

[rsun]

just don't buy and prices will come down, till then suck a thumb or something good like that

[pitbull30]

Don't trust anyone with less than 1000 posts and an itrader under 30.

How'd you come up with these numbers? I notice they are slightly above yours.

Well if anyone wants a 8 DVD magpul set in the new edition volume 1 and 2 PM me.

Interested to see what you have to contribute...

[hakenlag]

Here we go again.
So, what do you consider a fair and moral markup for ammo?

That will be up to El Presidente, I mean Mxrider157.

Still very anxious to see what he has to bring to the table. I'm sure he's not doing all this just to try to get cheap ammo for himself

its not for me. ive been workin with other members to help them get ammo. i understand the ethics of a free market and the law of supply and demand. i have told members to pm me what ammo they need and if i find it ill buy it for them. all i do is mark it up 10% just for fuel. im just trying to help out the people who are just getting into buying firearms and ammo. All i was trying to accomplish is to find other members who were willing to help but its cool. people value making money over helping others. Market value is what the stores around you are charging.

^^^ 10% markup

[Mxrider157]

$20 box is now $22 i know such a rip off haha

[LBDamned]

if someone wants 10 boxes they are paying an extra $20. Yes, to me that's a rip off.

if you are simply wanting gas money why not just have a flat fee? 10% of anything is a lot - especially when you are trying to help members find their way away from gouging.

(there's some Obamanomics going on here)...

[Mxrider157]

i can't buy that many and i dont charge anything more than $10
