    If somebody pays $50 a box for 9mm FMJ then that’s their problem. I’m with Preacherboy, sell at replacement cost and make a few bucks. Being prepared typically pays off, and this is a shining example.

    Keep in mind all of them have seen the prior ammo/mag/gun panic buying in the past years.

    Oh well, I led them to the water, they didn't wanna drink.....now they must suffer.

    Sorry not sorry

    No! You are required to sell for $169 per 1,000, pre-covid prices or you are considered despicable by firelamp.

    I think your missing the point, if you buy an item at$100 but then time passes and it's value goes up. If said is destroyed by another person, you sue, said person would be liable for replacement cost not original purchase price.

    Basically.... replacement cost is equal to purchase price which is equal to sell price hence free market

    Agree for the most part. I have been stocking up for years, many of my friends did not and thought I was crazy. Now, I have ammo and they do not. When we shoot, I don't mind supplying some ammo for them to use. They reciprocate by paying my range fees, etc. Now, the guy that I recently got hooked into shooting I help out more, because I created the monster that needs ammo and never had time to supply himself. I don't want to sell off my stash, but I might consider selling off a case or two of Wolf 5.56 at a slightly higher price. I do not see anything wrong with making a bit, without gouging.... And I will be shooting a lot of .22 LR for a while...
    The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”

    I like helping a guy (or gal) out by providing ammo in exchange for Range fees. It's always more fun shooting with friends. I stocked-up with several cases of 9mm but I usually shoot 600-800 rounds per month and supplies are getting low (I used to purchase it for $165-$185 a case). Unfortunately I am shooting less and when I go but I a have a better focused plan like working on one hand/off hand shooting.

    I believe in a free market and understand higher prices/profits - its supply and demand. Think about those on-line retailers, especially those reliant on ammo sales, who cannot get enough supply and therefore profits to run their business. They can lay-off employees but still have to pay fixed costs: taxes, rent/mortgage, utilities, insurance, etc.

    I hope most (all) remain in business so friendly competition will drive prices down again in the future. It will be some time before the industry recovers to where we can get 9mm brass at $0.16 in bulk. I bet we are looking to second half of 2021 before we see things return to "normal". I hope I am wrong. Getting Trump elected will help...

    I found a box of that stuff mixed in with other things.

    I was going to give it away.
    Not now, with these prices it would be absurd.
