Booty Call

[Boba Debt 350]

I just wanted to prove that if you don’t mind getting up early and waiting in line for 1-2 hours you can get ammo at normal Wal-Mart prices.

This is this weeks booty, minus a few boxes I picked up for friends at work.

I’m going to post my spoils every Saturday and if you hit the jack pot post an image of yours.

damn you battlefield 3 late night shenanigans you've caused me yet again to miss ammo

[dubya 198]

Ammo has been available at multiple stores locally for weeks, no waiting in line for me!

 

Even found some Hornady Vmax 5.45x39 for $21.99 and 7.62x39 for $30.99

 

BTW: as I understood, all wal marts had a 3 box limit per person?

[Big John! 2,062]

I can get 762x39 all day every day. It's 556 and 'reasonable' 45 i can't get.

[Syndicate 812]

I got 9 tul .223, and 1 tul 7.62x39 and 2 Winchester brassx39s

didn't go early, but very little is left what so ever at most of the stores

[dustindu4 101]

At my NH Walmart everybody knows when the ammo gets put out. I showed up on time at the counter today on time (open 24 hours) and there were 3 people waiting. The first guy got everything (just 380 and 45).

 

I only got a 100 box of 45 winchester for 40 bucks. You can get 40, and 45 by the case around here if you want it at other places. 9 is more limited, 223 and 22 forget it

[Boba Debt 350]

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????

 

For the record, I am not selling the ammo I recently bought, it’s replacing the ammo that I am selling. That’s the nature of capitalism and market pricing. Buy in bulk and sell to make money.

 

It’s a simple concept, except for people like YOU.

 

 

 

If someone doesn’t want to pay $25 for 50 rounds of Tula/Wolf (or $35-$40 per box if you check gunbot.net) then they can work 10 hours a night, get up at 5am and stand in line for an hour to get a single box per caliber.

 

 

 

To the rest that posted about what yo have found, Good Job.

 

I'm already starting on my next weeks spoils

[HighPlainsDrifter 466]

There's a great mom & pop shop in town that refused to raise their prices during the panic. I know a local range master who buys his ammo bulk from this shop and turns around and sells it at the range for double if not triple the price. He was asking $45 for a box of 9mm back in February.

 

Capitalism, yes! But American, no!

I'm Happy that you got ammo but I do not think your going to sell it.

It looks like spring is hear and the Ice on the rives is starting to melt (the ammo is starting to come in).

Come on Man your going to shoot that stuff aren't you!

Nothing like a few rounds in the locker to make a man feel content if you know what I mean.

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.

[Rhodes1968 1,638]

Shit guys its his property I could care less what he does with it long as he aint shooting it at us.

[Voltia 375]

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.

[Zombiehunter762 376]

I have to get some things in my local Walmart early in the morning. And check out there ammo supply to see what they have.

I'll report later on what I find.

Since I don't have a .45 anymore I should try and sell my 1 box of 100(Win) for $85 and the box of 50 (S& for $50.

Or I'll just keep it. Maybe I'll pick up another .45 off a poor soul in the next Civil War.

Lets not hold back guys! I guess noboxy here has ever sold anything to make money

[wasrNwarpaint 184]

I too had a good day, I live in the sticks , 1 grocery store, 1 gas station, to give you an idea how small,

but we have a gun shop ...got 6 pounds of powder 1500 shotshell primers 2000 small pistol primers, 2 cases of 7.62x39

everything is up a couple dollars as to be expected but, were not being raped, powder up from $27 - $32 I even saw mags back on the table, I didnt pay attention to what , Im flush, but they were there

maybe things are going to loosen up, or I just dont have the competition living in the sticks

[RED333 1,025]

I reload, dont have to stand in any line, or buy at inflated prices.

If you "need" ammo, you WILL pay the price.

If you want ammo, you will pay what you want.

[VR762Shooter 838]

When I picked up my NODAK receiver the other day the LGS had silver and brown bear as well as tula, no limit. I. didn't need any so I didn't buy

[Big John! 2,062]

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.

Are reloading supplies available? I know ammo is hard to get.

[gunfun 3,931]

I payed for a lot of this year's shooting with ammo I had bought cheaply that went up in price too. My buyers knew they were buying at a mark up, but they were desperate. That cuts both ways. I traded some .223 wolf ammo for some primers which were inflated value to my detriment. We both knew what we were getting. I also managed to buy some reloading dies on the leading edge of the bubble and sell them just as things were starting to normalize. Some of the stuff was about double and some of it was 5X. I listed them on ebay with my starting price near MSRP, and let the bidding go. If the buyers had done some basic searching, some of those things were in stock at the normal retailers for less than MSRP. At that point, it is wholly on the customer's head if they want to bid up to ridiculous values.

 

I often saw Boba's postings and scratched my head seeing expensive defense ammo that he was selling. I thought he must be losing tons of money buying fancy stuff and getting bored and selling it and attibuted it to ADHD. I figured that's his deal and he can do what he wants. Now that I hear he is getting ahead at it, more power to him.

 

As for gouging, I only have a real problem with it when people are taking advantage of ignorance. When I see a store or person sell a ~$700 AR for ~$1500 to someone who doesn't know better and points to and ad for a $1500 AR to show the buyer that the price is fair, I have a real problem with that.

 

I also think it is a different deal for shops versus individuals. I respect stores who hold their prices steady despite market fluctuations and make sure there is enough on hand for their regulars. They would have the right to charge high prices, but they are making a long term business decision to keep good will with their regulars, and to keep new customers coming back. Either route is legitimate and within the rights of the seller and the buyer. The critical point is honesty.

 

OH, and I wholeheartedly agree with RED333 about getting out of the market and making your own. You can't make everything, but you can buy powder and primers and stack deep when cheap.

[Syndicate 812]

oh also got 2 boxes of Fiochicicicicicicic (I gave up) slugs and 2 of buck to try out, had tons of slugs and buck at Bargain Barn off 575 for you GA folks

[liberty -r- death 1,445]

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.

Good points as usual GF. I don't believe in shitting in your own bed. If I were to gouge it wouldn't be here.

 

I'm fighting a losing battle anyhow. I'm sure I'll get my ass handed to me for my opinion by the capitalism guys here soon. Even though there is a distinct difference between capitalism and the crap going on with ammo.

 

As long as the almighty dollar is to be made, people will sell their soles. I've been number 3 in line at sportsmans. That's a damn good position BTW. I'm the dumbass that sees what people are going through and instead of fucking people in line behind me and selling it to them outside the store, I pass on what I don't need and let the people that need it get it. Admittedly, I'm the stupid one. I'm ok with that though. I figure some day doing what I feel is right will come back to me.

[theorangeplanet 968]

I will say that there is a big difference in selling what you already have or what you normally buy anyway for a mark up. If you're only going through the amounts you normally use anyway you're not adding to the stress on availability.

 

However, people that are taking advantage of retailers that aren't marking up prices by buying up everything when it comes available and reselling it for double or triple are not just taking advantage of simple 'supply and demand' economics. They are CREATING the supply issue by buying everything with the sole intention of reselling it for a profit. They're not adding any distributive value or providing a service in doing so. If anything by removing it from a retail setting and in to private hands, they're just making it harder for anyone to even find it in order to buy it. In the current situation, the lack of supply is what is driving prices up. So, the more these resellers buy, the higher they can mark it all up.

 

If Wal-Mart or Cabela's and all the other major retailers were marking up their ammo double, triple, or more... I really doubt any of you would be defending them saying, 'It's just capitalism, bro!' Can anyone say Cheaper Than Dirt!?

[mostholycerebus 415]

Lets not hold back guys! I guess noboxy here has ever sold anything to make money

I sell alot of stuff on boards, usually break even or at a slight loss. Thats what turns a board into a community, members not ripping each other off and helping out n00bs.

 

Bragging about getting the scarce commodity before ripping off fellow board members, thats a whole other topic.

 

I will say, on other boards, that kind of action, even once, usually the poster is either banned or prompted to buy into becoming a Dealer member, so every other member is aware that he is USING the board and members for profiteering period. Not contributing as a part of the community.

You are moron. To get mad at me for calling you the retard that you are would be socialism. The only reason you have this opinion is because you have ammo. Did your stupid self ever think that there are people who weren't always in to guns? What about people on limited budgets. Are they morons for dreaming that it was the government they had to worry about taking shit away and not fellow gun owners so they didn't put buying ammo before taking care of their family?

 

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 believe in a perfect world, this attitude would be way more 'American' than your moronic attitude.

 

Said it before and I'll happily say it again. You have something you can make money on, go for it. In times like these, taking it all just to keep the market crippled and fuck others over sucks. Is it their right? Yes! Is it right? I personally think it could be handled much better. We've turned against each other.

 

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.

 

One thing your dumb as is right about. There is a market for everything. Prices will be dictated by what people will pay. What makes this different is in my opinion not a shortage of ammo so to speak. There is TONS of ammo out there. Probably more than in any recent history. There is a shortage of decent people.

 

I will say that there is a big difference in selling what you already have or what you normally buy anyway for a mark up. If you're only going through the amounts you normally use anyway you're not adding to the stress on availability.

I picked up mine before December last year, now not much out there.

[liberty -r- death 1,445]

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.

[MT Predator 2,294]

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!
