dayofruin 425 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 We? This is why I haven't bought any lately.... I stocked up at lower prices before all this. There are still some places selling at a reasonable price if you look around. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akastormi 617 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 LOL This is funny. I've stockpiled ammo for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Shot 1,287 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Econ 101 try to keep up. Higher demand = higher price = increased supply = lower price = higher demand ~ involve government induced panic = fuck up the market. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Without ammo your gun won't shootsmuch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 If by "WE" you mean "Retailers", I agree. I don't recall taking off any price tags and replacing them with higher prices. I have always bought in bulk, in advance, and have bught only 1 case of ammo lately @ a normal price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zombiehunter762 376 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I haven't bought ammo in a couple of years. You can thank the Communist Regime and all the last minute panic buyers because of Barry's speech and the anti-gun Liberal out cry. Without those 2 factors everything would be like it was.

rnemhrd 165 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Whats this we? You have a mouse in your pocket? Doe'nt own anything in .223 and can find 7.62x39 for decent prices. Have plenty though. Whats the issue? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mogunner 240 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Ditto. I live on a very limited income and I have plenty, if you didnt stock up over the last two years that's your own fault. Give it a month and it'll be back down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Live and learn dude. I'm still sitting on stuff I bought back in the 90's for my original SKS. When I found out I was getting an AR, I started snapping up deals left and right. Now I can be Alfred E. Newman..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timy 1,185 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Sorry, I thought 2 bucks a round was a great deal considering the circumstances. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR762Shooter 838 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I haven't bought any .223 in probably 6 months and have quite a few cans full of x39. If you wanna meet up I'll sell ya some for $0.50 a round. Then we both win 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cgculber 6 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I think OP is referring to fear mongering => increase demand => higher prices. The supply will remain constant; there's just too much money to be made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 It only looks foolish to blame either the buyers or sellers in this situation. Try to use your mind instead of your emotions and maybe do something constructive like write your congresscritters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slippingaway 89 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Okay, I confess. It was me. All me. I drove up the price of .223 all by myself. Great job? Your welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yakdung 2,926 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I purchased my supply when 7.62x39 was $67.00 per 1K. I thought at that time it was high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I fell victime to a little today.. I let myself run out of 22lr. and was forced to buy a bucket of remmy buck 1400rnds for $68.. I spent all this time focused on other things, I never realized 22 would dry up.

slippingaway 89 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Same for my local shops on the 22LR. Any boxes of 500+ were sold out. Just picked up a 10/22, making it the 3rd gun to my collection (Saiga12, Taurus Judge, and now a Ruger 10/22) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pony_express1973 183 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 you got us we alone are the reason prices went up. I'm trying to get some 5.7 rounds and guys want 60 bucks a box I'm not panick buying I'm just trying to stock up but I won't be taken advantage of I'll wait it out . Don't blame us it's capitalism at it's finest.... you know supply and demand. if you don't know that LOOK IT UP. End Rant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
