Some of these places must be trading ammunition for street drugs.

Plinking just became a "crack habit."

Sale  WTF

That's still way better than Cheaper than Dirt.  I saw on Gunbot they are selling CCI .22 ammo for $.60 a round!

Anybody who does business with those jackals should be banned from any and all gun boards. They have gouged and screwed us thrice. They did it on EBRs, they did it on mags, and they're doing it on ammo. F them! They should get the full Zumbo treatment from every gun rag and all us consumers. We won't take your adverts, we won't do business with you, and oh, BTW, eat shat and die.

FQ, That's capitalism .
They are charging that because there are people who WILL pay that .
They are those new shooters new .
They don't know what this stuff SHOULD be selling for, so , they see it, they have been told they need it, so they buy it.
Later on they will learn just like the rest of us did .
When these guagers run out of unknowing newbs they will have to return to prices we will pay or eat their merchandise.
You want to screw them back ?
Educate new shooters .

Tom is right here. I don't like seeing this either. But the fact is this is what happens in a free market system. I posted that because I, along with the guys on this board know those prices are in fact ridiculous. But there are those who will pay for it because they are either forced to, or else they don't know any better.

It's why, to some degree,  stuff costs more in Alaska and Hawaii. Yes, it costs more to get it there. But also people have no choice. If you want to eat at McDonald's in Honolulu, it's going to cost you more to do it. If you don't like it, swim to L.A. for your burger.

Today there is no $9.95, 9 MM ammo. 8 months ago the stores were full of it. Today there are people who have to pay $35.00+ a box for it because they have none and need it. Much like plywood, batteries, and water just before a hurricane. I've got 30 more P-Mags coming from Brownell's. I don't need them. I already have plenty. But I feel that when another school shooting occurs, they may not be obtainable at any price, or else I'll have to stand in line for them at $100.00 each like the last time just after Sandy Hook.

So I would rather have more than I need now, rather than not be able to get them later. A new shooter who just purchased an AR-15 won't know or understand all of this. So when the next shooting happens he'll be out of luck and have to stand in line and pay the insane prices. We're no different than the rest of the animal world. We're programmed to take advantage of what we can, when and where we can. Most of us just don't like to admit it.

I get all that. What I don't get is a supposedly "gun oriented" store shatting all over its customers. Brownell and Midway didn't. Yeah, the prices went up, that's business. Price plus profit. But they kept the same profit margin and just charged for the extra cost imposed by intense demand. That's fine. What isn't fine is driving up your profit margin to take advantage of your customers who are freaking out. That may net you some short term profits, but folks like me remember.
You took advantage of me in a crisis and now you expect me to shop there again? Screw you.

To use Bills hurricane example, there used to be a statewide lumber yard/hardware chain called Scotty's. They were the Lowe's before Lowe's showed up. Back when Andrew hit, they jacked up the prices on plywood by about 200%. Home Depot sold for the same price as normal, the wood wasn't costing them any more, they just chose not to take scalper's prices (and in some of the hardest hit areas, they were giving it away or selling at cost). That made headlines. Scotty's is no more. Home Depot is going strong. People remembered.

I hope this happens to lower than dirt. I remember that while they were scalping me, Brownells and Midway were just passing along their costs, and that's fine. Guess where I'm spending my money?

It will, and in fact already is. Go to You Tube and search, "Cheaper Than Dirt". It's full of, "F*#K You Cheaper Than Dirt", videos. People will only put up with over the top pricing for just so long.

So, how many of you forward thinkers have 300 gallon gasoline tanks buried out by the barn or shed, with a replica Atlantic pump on the surface to keep your 4 door 4wd 250's running during the next gas crisis? Might as well. If many of us did that there would be a gasoline shortage for sure. Okay, we can blame it on the gasoline company gougers and the newbies who just got their new 250  and the government stupidos and everyone else but ourselves. Come to think of it, I have to upgrade my buried gasoline tank (currently 200 gallons) to 500 gallons so I can be better prepared than billt! Ever think that the way to engage the new gun owners is by letting them enjoy a few mags, some ammo and accessories so they become partners and activists on our side rather than discouraged and sit on the sidelines of what is going to be a big battle? Probably not. Let them get a horse!
