Bad linky removed. Thanks for the heads up!

The common thing I see is the people that have been stocking for years seem to love defending this as some great American thing. I think quite the opposite. I believe in helping people out when I can.

 

I purchased for years leading up to this. Not to make a giant profit or anything, just so if this type of situation happened I would be ok. I have not sold any ammunition, legally I really can't (at least not without a lot of complication due to our stupid state laws). I am one to think if someone wants to do it, that's on them. I am not opposed to saying though that those buying specifically to profit on the misfortune of others is a shitty thing to do. There may be people out there who are just now in the middle of the big gun debate turning legal age to purchase, or being brought into the community by our fellow gun enthusiast brothers. I think the profiteering done by some could turn these people away from the cause, and I am not willing to partake in that. This is a time where people should be buying up ammo and specifically selling it at cost to new shooters to help build interest, not tear down potential interest. Sucks some people only care about themselves and not the cause. As with anything else though, people are going to do what they feel is best, sucks sometimes but what can you do

Big John, I did open my post with being a special asshole in stating my opinion. I did not quote you or call you out, but thank you doing the opposite. I posted my opinion just as you did, and again did not call you out. I'm still not quoting, and I am not now, nor in my first post, pissed. I worked hard to get my firearm and ammo collection to where it is. I didn't always have ammo, but I bought ammo when I could to get what have. I have three kids that are now mostly grown, and college isn't cheap. I have enough ammo to be comfortable to help out my friends in need, and stated so in my post. If that makes me the dumb ass or moron, since I obviously hit a nerve, I apologize. You seem to be taking an open public opinion as a personal attack. I would like to point out that you did call me retard in your response when you quoted me, thus, making yourself seem to be a socialist. Again, I am not mad, never was. I make it a policy to not get mad when posting because only bad comes from it. I'm sorry you took this a peronsal attack.

I called you out. Did you ever consider that "generalizing" could be actually describing one or many on this forum and they may not appreciate being called a moron as they are obviously not as highly educated as yourself? Trust me though, you are only one of a few who like to think that everyone needs to be watching every politcal move and know every thing that's going on or you get deemed in many threads as a "moron" So while it may not have been all you as I truly don't have a problem with you personally. I guess your comment is was just one of many like it that admittedly finally pissed me off.

Do you old timers ever think before you call people names? I will quote you here --> "If you couldn't see the writing on the wall when Barry said during the debates he was going for anti gun legislation then you are a moron". I don't even know who Barry is. I have admitted to not being politcal. That does not make me a "moron" that has to prove to the gun gods that I am worthy of being able to buy ammo. Hense my giving you a taste of your own medicine. The right thing to do? I dunno...

 

Where you and the like and I will probably always disagree, is the ammo thing that is going on is driven purely by our own. That pisses me off. When people call people like myself names. That pisses me off. We tout being this great bunch of people that have more sense than the brainless libtards while we act no better than the ghetto trash that burn their own neighborhoods after a fucking basketball game. We are burning our own neighborhood right fucking now. Then you and a few others stand here and tell me that it's a great "American" capitalist thing to do. What a bunch of horse shit.

 

There is a shit ton of available ammo. There is NO shortage. If there were a shortage, people wouldn't be selling it at any price. I'm not asking for yours. I'm asking people to just fucking give it a rest. Quit making us look like a bunch of dipshits. Quit making a hero out of an OP that clearly breaks the rules here by double posting his garbage and rubbing in our face before he puts the fucking to us. If these traits are truly what Republicans stand for then maybe I am a libtard. Going against each other makes me ashamed to be a pro gunner...

He's not putting a fucking to anyone if people refuse to pay his inflated prices. There is a lot of it going on in the forum and the rules prohibit making remarks on people's For Sale posts. Like people asking a King's Ransom for PMags or even USGI AR mags for that matter. I just received a shit ton I paid $10 each for new from an online supplier. We need to quit perpetuating these bastard's greed.

[haugpatr 972]

 

There is NO shortage.

 

Let me help you out here, Supply < Demand = Shortage

 

What it appears you are implying is that if we just "spread the wealth around" there will be enough for everyone. I hope you can understand that this is a bad idea.

 

The free market works really well, those that want the ammo the most, will get it.

 

It is really Sad that people complain about the free market because there really is no better system, it's a really sad commentary that people fail to underdstand this, just further evidence of why the sheeple will be led to the slaughter of socialism.

[RobRez 1,895]

I am sooo glad I was prepared for a shortage.....I cannot count how many folks who were the very people saying "What do you need 10,000 rounds of that ammo for? What are you so worried about?" who now call me and ask if "I can spare any ammo?".....I simply remind them of their previous comments, and offer to sell some at fair market value, Which by the way, is what folks will pay for it NOW.....somehow now I am a jerk??? Well I am a jerk with a shit-ton of ammo. Fuck 'em......I didn't buy it to sell for profit OR to help out their "shortsighted unplanning asses!" I am too happy to keep it all!

Close friends, sure I "can spare a few" but really, this is the reality of capitalism folks.

 

edit: I am not a rich man who just caually threw down a few grand on ammo.....I planned ahead, saved my money and wisely spent several hundred $$ on bulk ammo whenever I could......Kinda like my Food and emergency supplies!

"Barry" is Obahma's first name. I try to refrain from using his last name. He said he would persue gun ban legislation in the Presidential debates. Every one of us has a civic duty to pay attention to our government. If more people did we may find ourselves fighting so hard to protect our rights now.

 

I'm not highly educated. Made it out of highschool and joined the military. I've just been aorund the block a time or two, and have learned the hard way to pay attention to the things that impact my life.

 

I'm not a "republican", I do not believe in the two party system. They are too similar to be considered different.

 

I never tried to make you out to be a dipshit. I'm sorry I made you feel that way. Live and learn brother. I hope you can find some affordable ammo and will eventually be able to have a supply stashed.

I refuse to buy from people like this. Its amazing even @ work I have a guy that spent $50-60 on blazer LRN brick of 500. I told him I'll pick up some ammo and sell it to him for the same price. He told me he wouldn't pay it cause he knows I would get it for less. But yet he will buy it from someone else doing the same shit.

 

I keep checking my local stores for any .22LR, 30-30(shocking its sold out), and some 9mm for plinking. And for primers as I'm looking for some Small Pistol ones so I can start reloading. I got powder, brass, and bullets for the 30-30 and just missing primers for the 9mm.

 

I know what the prices were pre-gouging. And I know of one local store that is only raising prices according to what they are paying and keeping their profit margin the same. Nice thing is a box of WPA is $7 instead of $6. Thats just an example and it took them 2 months to raise it.

It's funny all of you that keep spouting 'supply and demand' and act like that's ALL there is to economics and pricing.

 

Educate yourselves on some basic economic pricing principles and you might understand why ammo profiteers are going to screw up the market for much longer than the actual bubble is going to last:

Thanks for the education. I actually have enough ammo to get by for a while. But this is not about that. I know you didn't mean me personally and trust me... I've learned a lot here.

 

All this political shit is too much for my brain. Life was easier when I didn't pay attention. Call me all the names you'd like, but after all the work I put in here to see it go down in flames. Then to see how the gun community works. I'm not sure it's something I am suited to be actively involved in. Not something I have to decide today.

 

At the minimum, I guess I'll stay out of these ammo threads from now on. My brain doesn't live in the same America as some of you. To each his own. I respect the diverse opinions on this forum. But I will never be on board with this one.

Yes it is still supply and demand, the market is acting irrationally at this point but it is still working. I don't need an education in Economics, I already wasted my own money on that!

 

As far as the spreading the wealth around comment, sorry but that is what it seems he was implying, at least that is what it seemed to me.

I need to preface this by letting some people know that 3 people that have posted in this thread have done nothing but troll my posts since day one. I know 2 of them actually found me on a different forum and trolled me their too. Dave M, MT Predator and Chevyman are pathetic jealous pricks that have nothing better to do they fuck with me on this forum and normally I wouldn’t waste my time clearing up their distortions but I ‘m kind of bored it requires very little effort so, why not.

I have been on a lot of different forums, with subjects from cars to A/V equipment and every forum., no matter the subject has it fair share of cranks and kooks but gun forums by a major lead have some of the stupidest people on the face of the planet. A lot of the people that are disparaging me in this thread obviously lack the basic education required to comprehend the written text of a simple post so let me give some of you an education.

So many of you retards posted I will have to break up my replies in multiple posts due to the limitations of this forum

So here we go.

 

 

 

How much do you plan on selling it for?

 

 

Im guessing this is the same stuff you have listed for 25 dollars a box.

 

 

For Americans you guys sure do come across as pussyfied libtards that hate capitalism.

 

I guess you expect me to sell it cheap so someone else can buy it all and then they could flip it for a profit????

There is a difference between Capitalism and profiteering.

 

I think about the guy who can't go shooting with his kids because a bunch of assholes are buying everything up then Jacking the price when they turn around and resell it.

 

Just like the pricks who charge $8.00 a gallon for gasoline after a hurricane.

 

I've got plenty of ammo but my personal integrity prevents me from selling it at a profit during a tough time for the shooting community.

 

I guess if a couple of bucks is that important to you that's your prerogative.

 

 

Gouging and profiteering are when someone sells a product that people MUST have and can not get anywhere else and they do it at ridiculous prices.

Comparing the ammo I’m selling to hurricane gas prices is so fucking stupid that I can’t believe you tried to draw that comparison. What a weak pathetic attempt to inject hyperbole into this conversation. You are even stupider then I thought.

No one needs ammo. If you don’t want to pay the inflated prices, get your ass up, stand in line at Wal-Mart, buy your 3 boxes and then revel in your victory. In case you forgot, I posted a thread telling EVERYONE that Wal-Mart was getting ammo in every day.

Don’t get pissed at me because I have the drive and means to take advantage to this opportunity.

As for your personal integrity you have none. You’re not trolling this thread because you believe in what you’re posting. You’re trolling this thread because you’re a jealous prick and don’t like me so you’re exploiting this opportunity.

Grow the fuck up.

 

 

 

 

 

Taking advantage of other people's misfortune is not capitalism, it's buying into the

mass market craze and sacrificing integrity for profits.

 

What would happen if all the ammunition manufacturers realized they could jack their

prices up and take advantage of the shortages? They wouldn't do it, because people

would remember their betrayal and they'd get burned.

 

Sure, you're free to do what you want with ammo. But if you crow about finding stuff

at normal prices, then try to flip ammo at high prices, people are also free to remember

it and free to think what they want of you.

 

 

“Taking advantage of other people's misfortune is not capitalism”

You think paying a premium for ammo is a misfortune????

Not having food or electricity is misfortunate. Not having a job or the ability to spend time with your children is misfortunate.

Not wanting to pay $1 a round because your cheap ass didn’t want to pay 50 cents a round when there was tons of ammo on the shelves is just piss poor planning on your part.

Don’t blame the free market for your lack of forethought.

 

Wow! When I first saw this thread this morning, I thought it was a "hey look what I finally found on the shelves and things are getting better" thread. Not a fucking double posting gouger thread.

Would be nice for the ones who want to enjoy the ammo could get some versus the guys who take it all to sell. You have the right to do what you feel like you need to for sure. But, especially rubbing it in our faces, I wouldn't help you change a flat tire. I know you don't give a shit, but that's saying a lot coming from me. Advertise your shit in the for sale section where it belongs.

Yeah yeah I know, I'm a libtard and have no concept of capitalism, shame on me for not having 10k rounds of every caliber on the planet. I've heard it all before.

Even as it trickles in you gougers just can't give it a fucking break. It already makes me sick espcially doing it here. Can't you keep your garbage on Armslist or the like instead of rubbing it in our faces?

As long as the mods let you double post your fucking crap, I'll happily express my 1A right to let you know how I feel about it.

 

Your lack of comprehension is so astounding that I don’t even know if I understand what you talking about but I’m going to take a stab at it.

I think you think I bought the ammo in the above picture for the purpose of resell. YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG.

I bought it to replace ammo of lesser quality (45acp ball ammo), or to increase my quantity of ammo that I need (22lr), or to sell it to family and friends at cost (.223, 38SP)

In a separate matter, I have a for sale thread in which I am selling Tula 45ACP and Wolf 9MM. Neither of those ammunitions are in the above picture.

SO therefore, I am not double posting.

I hope that explanation is easy enough for your limited brain to handle.

Now to clear up what I am selling and why I am selling it.

I bought the Tula 45ACP when I could not find any brass ball ammo. Now that I have a couple 100 round Value Packs I have no need for the Tula so I’m selling it.

The Wolf 9MM that was for my wife's 9mms Guns that she can not shoot because she has arthritis so bad that she can barely handle her Walther P-22 .

As for the prices that I’m asking. At the time of this posting, the lowest price for steel cased 45acp on gunbot.net was 29.99, $5 more then the price I am selling mine for. The next cheapest box was $34.59, almost $10 more then my price. The cheapest box of 9mm was $35.99 which is more then $10 over what I am asking.

Since I am currently able to sell this ammo, my prices must be better then most, so maybe you should understand the content of the post and do some research before you accuse me of being “a fucking double posting gouger “

That’s all for this post. I’m bored so I’ll move onto the next batch of idiots in a separate post.

I don't agree with over pricing just making light of things. I can still remember the asshole selling bags of ice for 6 dollars when hugo come thru have not been back to that store since.

[dubya 198]

I guess I'm a special asshole. My personal feeling for those that can't take their kids shooting because they did not plan ahead by buying ammo when they could for normal prices are shit out of luck. If you couldn't see the writing on the wall when Barry said during the debates he was going for anti gun legislation then you are a moron.

 

 

I hear a lot of socialist pissing bad moaning over someone taking the time to get ammo and "maybe" selling it.

 

 

I personally have helped close friends out by selling ammo from my collection at pre crazy pricing so they had enough to protect their families. If I sold ammo to anyone else it would be at fair market pricing for the current market.

 

 

Fair market is what people are willing to pay. That capitalism and is very American. Socialism occurs when people Piss and Moan that everyone should get their fair share regardless of how little they do to receive it. Perhaps people will learn from their mistake of not preparing for Obamageddin but I doubt it, and the next time shit hits the fan with anti gunners many will still be pissing and moaning about firearm and ammo shortages.

 

 

Good score Boba. Happy shooting and if you sell any I hope you make few bucks for your trouble.

So the guy who wanted to bring his boys camping and shooting for their first time but can't because he's a "moron that didn't see the writing on the wall". Maybe, just maybe, not everyone is a gun nut that is in the loop or they don't follow politics religiously. Maybe he's just not as goddam smart as you? And maybe those two boy's missed their only time anyone will introduce them to shooting because their dad, who seldomly shoots, couldn't find or afford gouged ammo that weekend. Maybe our shooting community just lost two future responsible gun owners. Maybe...

 

 

 

 

I normally don't care what a guy wants to sell his crap for. Don't like the price? Don't buy it. Simple. But I do find it crappy to post pics of your daily hoards while at the same time selling ammo at inflated prices to your fellow members. This is a pretty tight forum, save that shit for gun broker.

I won't lie, I've made huge profits on selling a few guns this year. I even sold 50 rounds of 5.7x28mm on gun broker for $8 a round, no shit. But I would never try to rip off fellow members on this forum (well most of them anyway) like that, there are plenty of guys on GB more than happy to buy at high prices. This just isn't the place for that shit.

What you said has no basis in reality. I’m not selling the ammo that I am bragging about in this thread.

I have contributed a lot to this forum and if it weren’t for assholes like Dave M, MT Predator a many others I would contribute a lot more. I have skills and resources that would benefit this forum but very little reason to waste my time posting since these guys use every post as an opportunity to troll.

And I’m not a dealer so don’t even go down that road.

And exactly what is it that you think I should have to do to make me worthy in your dumbass opinion of being able to purchase ammo? I've spent many hours in line, lots of gas and time. Both in person and on the net and have not been lucky enough to yield much.

 

“And exactly what is it that you think I should have to do to make me worthy in your dumbass opinion of being able to purchase ammo? I've spent many hours in line, lots of gas and time. Both in person and on the net and have not been lucky enough to yield much.”

 

 

 

Obviously you don’t want it as bad as others do..

 

You see that 1000 round box of Winchester M22, when I found out that a Wal-Mart (that was 40 minutes away) was going to get 2 case of this, I made the decision to get up at 5am to be first in line. I knew most people started showing up at 6am so I would have to sacrifice some sleep to get my wife some 22LR.

 

This decision was made knowing I had to work a 10 hour day fixing CH-53 Heavy Lift Helicopters.

 

So I got off work at 1:45, slept till 5am, got my ass up, drove 40 miles to Wal-Mart and was first in line.

 

Then I waited until 8am for the opportunity to buy the ammo and even though I could have bought both 1000 round cases I only got one and let the other guy that showed up at 6:15 get a case. The only other ammo they had that day was 5 boxes of 40SW and I could have bought 2 of them but didn’t.

 

Right now I could sell that M22 on GB for twice what I paid for it, but I’m not going to because my wife needs it and I sacrificed sleep and time with her to get it.

 

 

I also didn’t have time to get a nap before pulling another 10 hour night which would take a toll on most 45 year old men but I’m a strong, self reliant former Marine that knows how to get what they want.

 

So go fuck yourself you self-righteous weak prick.

Did anyone else notice that he actually told you where to get ammo cheaper than he is selling it for? Anyone?

 

Grow up people.

 

You might think some of his builds are silly. You might think they are clever.

 

Boba's point about gouging being tied to a single source necessary commodity is dead on. I personally choose not to buy non critical things at inflated prices, but others have the right to buy at sextuple pricing if they wish. They can also spend the time to shop around. If his pricing is unreasonable, don't buy. He is posting to a place where people will typically have the ability to evaluate the deal and make a personal choice about whether it is good or not. He is not taking advantage of a single person.

 

I think all of you, including Boba have a large tendency to get your feelings hurt over trivial stuff and go on a rant.

 

He started a thread to help people and now the usefulness is burried under a stack of flames and flag waving imbecility. Everyone here needs to take a nap or a drink or something. Maybe just go to the range and blow off some steam.

I can't help it! All I can think of Boba in Walmart is peopleofwalmart.com! He's got to be on there somewhere! He just likes to post pictures of his shit to get ooohs and aaahs btw.

The ammo production is starting to catch up and my Walmart has more variety in stock than a couple weeks ago. There is still a three box limit. I roll through and grab three boxes of whatever if I am on a beer run. I don't keep returning to clean them out. I have plenty and the stuff I pick up now isn't any different from my normal intake months ago. I buy it to shoot not to resell. Hang in their brothers, don't fall for the price gouging fuckers out there, a little patience and it will come back. Just wait until the DHS has to liquidate millions of rounds!

 

 

What took you so long to join in, couldn’t get away from the glory hole you were servicing?

You know, I have always had to deal with fat, ugly army pukes that were jealous of me because I was a good looking Jarhead that could make things happen. Stole honor grad from pogs in both army schools I had the misfortune of having to go to and banged so many army chicks that I could have started my own company. You are no exception to the many many underachieving, low shooting losers that joined the Army instead of the Corps.

BTW: When you make a pile of cash selling a concept to a huge gun company I might let you sit at the adults table. Until then, ask for permission before you speak.

.....I don't even know who Barry is..... I have admitted to not being politcal.

 

Hense my giving you a taste of your own medicine.

 

There is a shit ton of available ammo. There is NO shortage. If there were a shortage, people wouldn't be selling it at any price. I'm not asking for yours. I'm asking people to just fucking give it a rest.

 

 

 

Man, you need to stop posting or we’re going to figure out that you’re 13

You don’t know who Barry is?? HFS, time to go find another hobby.

hense (sic) you looking like a dumb ass

If there is a shit ton of ammo , go buy it and quit bitching about how you can’t.

[Boba Debt 350]

He's not putting a fucking to anyone if people refuse to pay his inflated prices. There is a lot of it going on in the forum and the rules prohibit making remarks on people's For Sale posts. Like people asking a King's Ransom for PMags or even USGI AR mags for that matter. I just received a shit ton I paid $10 each for new from an online supplier. We need to quit perpetuating these bastard's greed.

 

 

 

 

Wow, you almost had a cogent point until you called me a bastard.

 

As I already pointed out my prices are less then most, and people are buying this ammo.

 

Am I making a profit, yes, is it exorbitant, not really. Will I use that money to buy more better quality ammo, YEP.

 

If you do not understand that that is both enterprising and capitalistic in nature then you need to move to northern Europe and bask in all the glory that socialism provides.

 

All this political shit is too much for my brain. Life was easier when I didn't pay attention. Call me all the names you'd like, but after all the work I put in here to see it go down in flames. Then to see how the gun community works. I'm not sure it's something I am suited to be actively involved in. Not something I have to decide today.

 

At the minimum, I guess I'll stay out of these ammo threads from now on. My brain doesn't live in the same America as some of you. To each his own. I respect the diverse opinions on this forum. But I will never be on board with this one.

 

 

Holy crap you're a drama queen.

[Boba Debt 350]

I normally don't care what a guy wants to sell his crap for. Don't like the price? Don't buy it. Simple. But I do find it crappy to post pics of your daily hoards while at the same time selling ammo at inflated prices to your fellow members. This is a pretty tight forum, save that shit for gun broker.

I won't lie, I've made huge profits on selling a few guns this year. I even sold 50 rounds of 5.7x28mm on gun broker for $8 a round, no shit. But I would never try to rip off fellow members on this forum (well most of them anyway) like that, there are plenty of guys on GB more than happy to buy at high prices. This just isn't the place for that shit.

Oh boo hoo.

 

Your pitiful example is making me tear up.

 

 

If I really wanted to take my son shooting an could not afford the inflated prices I would find a way to make extra money so that I could. BUT that is just me, I always find I way to provide for my family and have been doing so since my early teens.

 

 

 

 

BTW: Selling 5.7 for $8 a round makes you a pathetic hypocrite and I shouldn’t waste any more time replying to you but it’s too fun.

 

 

 

You think this forum is special? Like some type of community? REALLY. This place may have been that way at one time but now it just a bunch of cliques that tolerate each other to glean the information that they need..

 

Of all the forums I’m a member of, gun forums are the worse for community participation.

 

This one and most other gun forums are all about the money.

 

In my experience, gun forums are the only forums you have to “contribute” to to be able to sell items on and they always have a ton of paid Vendors.

 

If you’re looking for a close knit community you better join a needle point forum because gun forums can be very rough if you’re not in the right cliché.

Thanks for pointing that out.

This thread was supposed to be motivational, a tool to show people that if you didn’t mind doing the work you could buy ammo at normal Walmart prices.

BUT then Dave M and Chevyman (2 of my long time stalking trolls) decided to turn it ugly and that prompted other weaker people to grow some balls and post stupid opinions before they even knew the facts of the situation.

They succeeded in destroying yet another thread and I’ll probably not waste my time at this forum for a while since I have many other projects that need tending to.

When mods lets guys like these two, troll posters like myself, a lot of good information never makes it to the knowledge base.

I feel bad for the people that could use my knowledge and experience but I don’t always have the time to go through this shit to provide it to them.

Ding! Ding! Ding! And you're a perfect example of why that is. A member who admittedly refuses to contribute any helpful knowledge to the forum.
