    is it price gouging ????

    Yeah i was wondering everyone is doubling the price of a ammo box of 762 x 39 which is 12.00 when it should be 6.00/ 50 round 9mm is 50.00 when it should be 25.00 , just wondering i saw a lot of cal gunner crying and leaving really bad pm to other cal gunner when the china virus started in march 15 2020 . I remember they were threats where other cal gunner were going to report them to city official so what is happing now with the ammo , i don't see them posting anything lol lmao . what happen lol

        You can sell your own ammo at whatever price people are willing to pay.
        Businesses are suppose to not price gouge. But if their distributors increase their price it rolls down the chain.

                If someone is willing to pay the asking price..... so be it. The real question should be, why don't you have a decent stockpile so you're not stuck paying "price gouge" prices.

                  Seller perspective, is time to sell TAKING ADVANTAGE of highest MARKET VALUE.

                  Buyer perspective, seller is TAKING ADVANTAGE of BUYER.

                  RIGHT NOW, is sellers market due to latest SCARE.

                    At the beginning of the pandemic. Calguns mods did react to the price gouging.
                    But now 6 months into this pandemic. All retail prices have gone up.
                    So you have to compare to current retail prices and supply and demand.

                      Let's be honest not all of us were raised around firearms at least I wasn't . So when I finally got into firearms in 2012 I am not embarrassed to admit that it was new to me and I know I over paid for a lot of ammo and guns but I was on a mission and money was not an object at that time but I will never say I got gouged because I was willing to pay for it because #1 I thought and believed Turners Outdoorsman's sales people that said Obama was going to ban AR15's #2 It was so new to me that I wanted to go to Steele peak every weekend to shoot which cost me money because ammo was in short supply and I was willing to pay for the excitement . Now fast forward 8 years later I paid up front for the expensive lesson in 2012 and stocked up on powder, projectiles and primers and on top of that I have a good stock of store bought ammo . I think what the person who paid 1 dollar a round is going through the same thing I went through. Before 2012 I never once looked at a gun restriction bill because I was not a gun owner but NOW shoot I am all over that not that it makes a difference but it keeps me informed on what is going on . The people who's parents owned and shot firearms and passed that tradition onto their kids started ahead of the pack and knew what was going on when I was still in the dark . Just my opinion .
                      Old problems are like dry poop, if you let the dry poop sit it doesn't smell but the minute you decide to stir the poop with a stick, the smell comes back. Moral of the story, Don't bring up old problems!

                        It's a free market, I sometimes balk and gawk at astronomical prices on the marketplace but I too want to sell my items for the maximum gain

                              If someone needs 9mm range ammo and are willing to pay $1/round, more power to them. Noone is forcing anyone to buy anything, especially since it is not an essential item.

                              Trying to sell at inflated prices isn't the classiest move but by no means immoral in this situation.
