    Almost got in trouble.

    To avoid breaking Forum rules...Read them! I made a snarky remark a little while ago on an ammo 4 sale thread. Sorry, Mods! Then I saw the rules, & went back to edit my post to avoid trouble.

    I had gone online to see what the ammo specifics were,that someone was selling. The retail price was pretty cheap, but out of stock. That really irritated me, because of what the asking price was, & the quantity the seller had available.

    IMO, if the asking price is high, then boycott the thread by not responding. Hopefully the ammo & component shortage will correct itself in a few months...
    Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

    I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

    Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

    Bruce I saw your post in that ad - I do believe the poster made an honest mistake with the 100/1000 - Have you check his profile? He's disabled and is having a hard time using a keyboard -

      I did see he was disabled. I thought the price was $15/100. But who goes out & accumulates 20,000 rounds of Factory ammo? I thought I was weird for keeping 5000 reloads ready. But as a general idea, If a seller gets no response, they'll have to check their ad & price. Maybe make an adjustment, so it will sell.

      Someone else was selling pistol ammo @ about $1 a round. That ad was pretty much ignored, which is good!

      It will be so nice if things would just get back to normal.

        Lets see what becomes of his ad - He did mentioned not shooting for the last 15 years or so - And to have 20k .22 is not all that bad - LOL - I wish I was in that predicament -

          Yes, I guess most of us didn't realize what a chance we had to stock up, before last year's election....

                    In this instance - None of the sky is falling was mentioned - The poster simply had 20k rounds and want to sell due to him being dis-abled and not shooting for the last 15 years -

                      Regarding high prices -- " the retail price was pretty cheap, but out of stock" -- When I don't have it, I sell it even cheaper than retail --

                        The only disability that would keep me from shooting is to not be able to move or have no hands or fingers
