        Don't worry about it - Karma.

        I don't like flipping either but it's the free market at work... It costs extra to be uninformed or lazy....

        I just try to help everybody I know get ammo.

          No, the opening wasn't big enough for any ammo to fall out, just enough for it to let the "gas" out, defeating the purpose of the fresh can.

            Kind of. It is scalping and creating artificial monopolies. I get it when a business prices a product to not stock out. Depending on your business model, you have to. But little dill weeds that clear off shelves just to hold it hostage are pathetic little basement dwellers to me.

              FYI, Page Monitor is not supported or updated by the developer. This means that it is buggy, and it does not work with newer versions of Chrome. It has not been updated since last August, and the developer states, "The project is currently on hiatus indefinitely."

                      I think a flipper is entitled to a reasonable profit for his time. I mean, take an attorney...he makes $1000 an hour and wants to take his kid shooting so he buys from a flipper or gouging website.

                      I agree that maybe $60 is too high, maybe $45 for your time and investment to make it available...and save that attorney time so he can go back to making $1000 an hour.

                      Bricks do cost $30 with S&H+tax and people say "that is a $25 brick", so I guess momma pays for the gas to go back and forth 10 times trying to get a 100 box.

                        It's not scalping. Nothing illegal is occurring. Immoral, unethical - maybe depending on how ruthless the capitalist. But then you should also be an equal opportunity hater (I'm using that word figuratively for lack of anything better at the moment) to all the hoarders; of which an argument can be made they are not helping the situation.

                        Seriously, you're better than that. Time to move on and put that energy to better use.

                          This thread is starting to look like a poorly written soap opera... With the level of immaturity I see here, I sure hope that a lot of these guys are merely ammo flippers, because I don't think I would trust them with firearm ownership.

                              Hey, welcome to the thread! Can we find some ammo for you?

                                It is the definition of scalping. I don't need a law to call somebody an unethical douche. People want to stock up to not be subject to scalpers, and I support them. If somebody at a range admitted to being a scalper I'd tell them to suck the wrong end of donkey so apparently I'm not "better than that". If it makes you feel any better, disassociation is the extent of the energy I waste on such losers.
