Pretty sure there was, but it's a common username. Guess we'll find out though. Hey wait, wasn't he the government snitch?  Just messin'

[Deathstyle]

I remember SilentSnake. That guy always took so much shit for going against the tide and standing by what he believed in.

Welcome Ronin, hope you find this little community useful in your preps.

Welcome to our humble abode Ronin and as for your topic yeah people need to stop doing that, buying ammo from assholes and scumbags is only gonna make it worse.

Wow!  Ignorance AND profanity in his first post.  I'm impressed.  I gather this dude doesn't have a degree in economics.  It's a supply side issue.  DeltaHotelSierra is purchasing so much ammo it is artificially restricting the supply for the rest of us, thus raising prices.  Yawn.

You're telling me that if people didn't stop paying this ridiculous prices on ammo they wouldn't go down? LOL  Go to your local walmart and ask them if they are getting less ammo, they will tell you they are getting the same shit they always have.  It's a well known fact that there are groups of guys who are waiting every morning for shipments to buy that shit up, for the sole reason of re-selling it.  Where do you live? Under a rock?

Ronin, welcome to the site. SP has a great group of gals & guys contributing to the forum.

Other than shotgun shells in the fall; none of the ChinaMarts sell ammo around me here in RI. The local mom & pop's here as well as near the family hunting cabin NE PA. are limiting ammo purchases to buyers which I have posted before. None of the mom & pop's that I shop at have jacked their prices up other than the normal keystone mark-up.

In RI as well as PA, ammo sales have skyrocketed not do to the ammo shortage. It is because of the draconian ammo purchase laws that , CT., MA., and NY has or have imposed on their citizenry.

Last I would like to add, that I have not seen any of my friends in RI or PA buying up large quantities of ammo to resell at inflated prices. I have received calls from friends while they are in a store asking me if I would like a box or two of X as it is on the shelf - I have done likewise. I am not saying that some folks are not doing what you wrote; however that is capitalism. Won't it be funny when they are stuck with a shit-ton of ammo and have to sell it below what they paid for it. 

Again Ronin, welcome on board.

To be fair, this tactic is nothing new. It just becomes more apparent when panic kicks into effect. Gougers will be gougers no matter the economy and other side-show events going on.

[Ronin]

Exactly, i'm not bringing any breaking news.  I'm simply saying that if we continue to buy at these outrageous prices they will never come down.  Make these fuckers eat the shit.

Well signs of supply are starting to show. Turners Outdoorsman, a chain of gun stores here in Cali, is starting to advertise having ARs (stripped lowers and completed) and AKs (Arsenal).

http://www.turners.com/engage/displayads.php

The prices are insane which is too be expected. Stripped lower from unknown company is $160, Arsenal AK is $1600, M&P 15 SPORT is going for about $1,200. No ammo is advertised though. I know the prices arent the best but I wasnt expecting them to be advertising that they had black rifles until at least halfway through summer. Hopefully ammo avaliablity and lower prices are will come soon as well.

Elaborate further please. To stay on topic pm me please I'm curious

[Outonowhere]

Supply must be getting a little better because a local small tac shop I visit frequently actually had a couple boxes each of the pistol calibers in and the prices were in line with pre-BS.

[thatGuy]

I've been able to find a box or two of pistol blammo here and there for the classic price.. 5.56.. not so lucky.

[JohnyMac]

The best I have been able to find in 223/5.56 is a Federal can of 420 rnds of 62gr green tip for $200-. I texted my friend and he asked me to pick it up...Which I did. It's pretty sad to pay 48? a round  [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

Went by the local dicks sporting goods yesterday, guess what the guy behind the counter told me.  "Every morning the same guys from "name withdrawn" gunshop are here to buy up mostly everything.  As a matter of fact you could probably go up there and peal off their price tag and find ours under it.."

Don't worry, I will be driving up there to check out these price tags.  And if I am lucky enough to find this, I will be putting something nice together for the local paper.

Exact same thing happens here, a guy who owns a pawn shop comes in and buys ammo every morning.
