Ammo Finds - Post them here

[shakyshoot]

Yes. And people would be lined up for miles to buy it. How did that station get an unlimited supply if there's a shortage?

Was that question on your High School Economics quiz last week? Tell your teacher he/she's a moron.

This is from econtrader and I think it describes the current situation perfectly. It may be an artificial shortage created by panic buying and redistribution to fewer and fewer buyers, but it's still a shortage if I can go to 10 places that sell ammo and none of them have .22LR. I won't sink to your level with name calling.

Shortage
A shortage occurs when the quantity demanded is higher than the available supply. When the demand for a good rises but there are a few in supply there are two things that could happen. Buyers would bid the price up in order to secure a share of that scarce resource or producers would try to slow the demand by raising the price and bring the equilibrium to higher levels so only the most desperate buyers are left before they can match their production with the trend in demand

People are still in panic-buying-mode. They buy more than they need and hoard it because they are afraid it will go away forever. This is why we are now seeing posts from people who are changing their minds and deciding they don't really need 20,000 or 100,000 rounds of .22lr. They are selling because they are changing priorities and want to buy a car or a house instead. If we all evaluated how much we shoot in a normal year and keep that much in reserve the market would normalize. The people who really piss me off are the ones taking advantage of the panic and adding to the fear by intentionally buying as much as possible so they can re-sell it at 4x the price. I stopped recreational shooting when the price doubled, when the panic calms down I will resume buying the occasional brick.

4x retail ? Bricks are usually 25-30 bux when you can get them, plus shipping or tax if applicable. Where are you seeing 100-120 dollar bricks ? Around here people sell them for 40-45 dollars on Armslist and maybe $50-55 at the gunshow. Prices have come down a lot actually. You never know if the state you live in is gonna become the next New York so I say buy what you can when you see it for pre-panic prices.

I haven't seen that recently, but I did 1 year ago. There was an auction and bricks were going for $150. I wanted to go home and get all of my ammo to sell, but my wife wouldn't let me.

Is $29.99 correct for only 50 rounds????? I would expect that for a brick but that's not what the webite says.

And $15 for 50 rounds of Blazers????

I guess the panic-induced "shortage" is still on.

You can't get a brick of Stingers for $29,99. They a higher buck ammo, around $7 for 50 at Walmart, etc. So these are a mere 4x retail, not 10x.

No, they aren't.
Check out gunbot. The whole page is in stock.http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rimfire/22lr/

Again, proof that the shortage and flipping is done. Dead.

Turners, Wally, Big 5, all of their shelves will be overflowing in the coming weeks.

And don't accuse the manufacturers of raising their prices. Fed bricks at Wally for 20 bucks. Hell Yeah baby !

The owner Of SA, James, said in another forum he bought 20 pallets of
223, and various other calibers at the height of the panic, se he is offsetting
His losses by charging so much for 22lR. And yes, he said people are buying it.
I personally would never pay that much.

[siroliver]

No people are NOT buying it they are artificially making it look like they are selling so they can say look it sells for this much buy now.ITS FAKE AND SCAM
