500 rounds of American Eagle .22LR $50+

[RickRyder]

Hey everyone in the Sac area. I just got a 500 round box of Federal AE .22LR at River City for I think it was $52.99? I bought a bunch of other stuff, but yea if anyone is looking to get a bunch of .22LR they have it. Yes, I know that's expensive for .22LR, but whatever, it's tax season! LOL

[ParanoidCivilian]

wow... I can't believe you bought it for that much!

[RickRyder]

Damn! You guys act like $50 is a ton of money or something? LOL Wow...

I spent $300 on ammo, $50 of it for 500 rounds of .22 ain't a big deal to me especially since most stores I have been to are all out or won't sell you more than 2 boxes...I'll prob blow thru all 500 rounds this weekend and do it all over again next week

$50 for a brick is ok because that how it's gonna be for a long while...wishing for $20-25 a brick means you ain't gonna be shooting...i don't like it either but it costs what it costs...

[Gringo Bandito]

You mean... I bought 400 rounds of American eagle for $50+ bucks. Did they at least give you a beer first?

Better than craigslist.

i havent bought .22 in months. its hard to find any but its even harder to pay more than $20 for 550 rounds of the federal bulk i buy.

[RickRyder]

I know ammo prices are up and that sucks, but as far as I'm concerned if I want to go shooting, I'll buy whatever ammo is available...at the end of the day after I have been out all day shooting, I never regret it and I always have a hell of a good time! Plus, everything is relative...I'll spend $60 - $70 on 100 rounds of .223 so $50 for 500 rounds of .22lr doesn't make me flinch...

Wow. Now I am seriously thinking if I should sell some of my 22LR at a inflated price for profit. On the other hand I hate to take advantage of other shooters because I just contribute to the problem.

This ammo pricing BS is doing wonders for my golf game.

$50 isn’t a ton of money… but it adds up… If you have the buy in bulk mentality spending $1000+ for 20 boxes of .22LR is a hard hit when you are used to spending $280 for the same amount last year…

That said… it’s your money and you can do as you please. If I didn’t have any ammo I would probably be happy to spend the same if that was the difference between me looking at my rifle vs. actually shooting it.

..."contributing to the problem" is BS; you would be selling "at market"; no one can control that...so sell if you want, make your money BUT...don't complain about how you wished you hadn't sold because now YOU have to buy $50-80 bulk packs like of the rest of us...

The sooner people stop paying these high prices the sooner the prices will go back down.

[Eljay]

Um, guys? I've been selling extra .22 with brands I don't really shoot anymore on Gunbroker. It's been running more like $75/brick. He could probably flip it at a profit.

I think it's crazy, too, but I start 'em at a penny and the buyers set the prices.
