Flippers in Ammo Market place!

[CAguy]

I just want to post on so many of the obvious flipper for sale threads "Don't buy from this flipper POS, let him keep it all and eat the cost once production catches up!". That would be thread crapping so per the rules I must resist! The .22lr flippers are the worst so shameless/blatant. Sorry, just had to vent.

BFD - If it's still a good deal I'll buy it.....

[johnyreb]

WAAAAAA!


Seriously then don't buy it.

Its way better to get on websites email notification and buy it online. No way I'm paying .13 a round for CCI mini mag (lowandslow) when I pick up Wolf MT for .10 a round shipped.

Bricks of blazer here, $50/ea.

Free market. They took the risk by spending their own money, they either reap the rewards or eat the cost.

We have flippers in ammo sales?Next we will be told we have flippers in firearm sales..... Huh never made the connection

I've never bought anything on here,yet.. it's really incredulous to me.
With little effort, we can purchase unused/ new from an online dealer cheaper than anything I've seen in the yard sale adds.
Target .223 is $.38 to .42 max right now
.22 $8 a box of 100 for cci stingers and I might bite, if its convenient.
I must be related to PT Barnum.
And of course... Free market/ supply & demand and all that. Lol.
We are sometimes our own worst enemy,
Carry on.

It is actually antithetical to a free market. That term does not mean what people think. A free market is not simply free of government influence, it is free of artificial influence. A middle man that does nothing except drive up cost is an artificial influence. Buying up a commodity (either before it gets to market, or buying out the market) to drive up the price is an artificial influence (this does not apply to hoarders who intend to keep product for their own future needs). These activities were illegal in much of the early United States of America.

Middle men that provide an actual service (such as providing a distribution system) are acceptable in a truly free market. Ammo flippers, on the other hand, are the opposite of a free market.

See, I disagree that it is the fault of the ammo flipper that prices went up. The price went up because of the political atmosphere that caused a run on ammo. People who saw the writing on the wall and purchased ammo at low prices, to sell later at higher prices, did nothing more than the people that buy precious metals.

No sense in trying to explain this to the bloodsuckers/voulchers. Just another day of the firearm community looking out for one another . I'll be taking note of who is gouging fellow Calgunners and not purchase anything from them now or in the future out of principle.

I just wish some of the users selling .308 deals Would Ship! but oh well, some still have it for sale when it could be gone already.
