    Ammo buying question

    I never bought ammo off anybody but i always browse the market place. Is it me or does it seem like the ammo that people sell privately is pretty much the retail price?

        I thought it was just me. It seems to me it isnt even worth the hassle waiting for a response, finding a time and place to meet, and paying a small fee. Seems like it's better to walk into LAX and get what i need whenever and walk out.

          i have bought ammo from other members in the past, but this was before all the new regulations. At that time it was a pretty good deal. havent checked that forum lately.

            If it were still that time i guess it wouldnt be that bad but the hassle makes it not worth paying. I guess that's just me though

              Internet prices are not retail.

              You can get good internet pricing if you have 03FFL & COE-

              Or your stuck paying California only prices because you have no other choice

                What is used ammo??? No such thing!!!

                    I'm buying some large bore ammo off the classified here for about half of the internet price. There are good deals to be found but you have to be patient.

                      The buyer may be in the market for a certain loading surplus ammo that has dried up that ha become difficult to find in the current market. Here is a image
                      of a type of ammunition I sold to a Calgunner back in 2015......he knew what it was and jumped at opportunity to buy what I had

                          I search the ammo market and yes a lot of it is not worth the gas and time. However, I have actually found a few excellent deals that you just have to jump on.

                            Agreed.

                              this.

                              i think we all got too use to buying ammo off the internet and didn't realize that the same ammo at retail stores are easily more expensive.

What is a problem is when you threaten my customer service team and make demands instead of being civil. Plain and simple just don't be an a**hole (where you told us to shove it).
