So I have at least four thousand rounds of ammo I will never use. Should I sell it now, or wait for prices to go even higher? I feel like I'm playing the stock market I've got a lot of extra 12GA buckshot, 22lr, 9MM including JHP, 5.56, and other stuff. I'm a hoarder, not a prepper. I'm wanting to make a buck before ammo stocks replenish, but overcoming my hoarding tendencies is an issue. I feeling that not just Vista Outdoors, but PPU, S&B, Aguila, Barnual, and others will take up the slack on ammo supplies eventually. Ammo prices seem to be halfway decent on the Ammo For Sale on here. But on Gunbroker the prices are crazy. $45 a box for 9MM ball ammo is what it is selling for, and I've got 9BPLE. Not offers, actual bids. Should I sell on GB, wait for higher prices, or just keep hoarding it?

To keep gouging or to wait and give them an even better screwing down the road. That is the question.
Ahhhhh the almighty dollar.
I have friends that cannot even take their kids rabbit hunting because they can't afford or even find birdshot.
Makes me sick. And don't even start this capitalism crap.
I have nothing against making an honest buck and have done it my entire life, I don't consider what's going on right now honest in any way shape or form. And a lot of fellow gun guys agree with me, but are afraid or uncomfortable to say so publicly due to being chastised for it.
I'm entitled to my opinion just like everybody else. I'll stand up for it even if I stand alone.
I have not sold one single round above what I've paid for it and most of the time if they're in need of a few rounds for the range, or to hunt with, I just give it to them for nothing but a smile and a handshake.
MANY members here can attest to that fact.
The phrase that I absolutely detest and loathe the most is " Cash is king "
The last time I heard the Lord Jesus Christ was King not some lousy dirty piece of paper that most everybody seems to worship these days.
All of you hoarders and gougers made your own bed, now lay in it.
Just don't ever expect any help from me or those like me that adhere to the same morals and values.
We don't forget.
