OK...am I wrong or is this guy trying to rip people off??

I was perusing gunbroker and just like eBay I'm always looking for the Gotcha....or the incredible deal that isn't so incredible.

This headline reads "380 ammo 150rds .380 ammo new production lcp"

I thought, really, bullets and a gun......hmmmm.

The description and photos say nothing about a "new production lcp".

The bidding seems high but maybe I'm just jaded getting my .380 ammo for 15 bucks a box.

380 is especially in short supply.

The current bid is 120.00 dollars for three 50rd boxes,...

That's $40.00 a box, which is what most are offering for the same ammo.

JUST to SSS (Start Some Sh**), that's what everybody else is charging. .380 is ridiculous, and why I finally bought a FN9.:

AMMO PRICES!

Speer Gold Dot (20 rds. box) close to $38.00  / used to be 20 bucks,...

It just sucks all the way around,...

I think he means 'new production PMC', not LCP. Yeah, .380 mmo is in very short supply, was at Cabelas today and picked up some 45 LC and some Remington 45 ACP. Four empty slots labeled 380 auto.

My local gun shop refuses to gouge on prices, so when it comes in, ammo isn't ridiculously priced. No love on the 380, though.

Would that be the store in Hamburg?  I try to make it there whenever I'm in the area for work.

Yep. Love Cabelas, wish I could get there more often.

He might have put LCP in the title so a search for a LCP would hit on his ammo.  Someone is looking for an LCP, they are going to need ammo, so their LCP serch shows them ammo also.  In auctions many people will put popular search words in the title to give their auction more exposure.  It's marketing like putting goods on the endcap or in the check out line.  Not saying this is what he did, but may have been.

BINGO!

Prices for .380 if you find it is astronomical. Paid $84 for two boxes two weeks ago. I was lucky to find it.

I was appauled at the thought of this auction, but I was lucky enough to have stocked up on most of our ammo needs recently.  Tonight I checked Cabella's and EVERYTHING is backordered.  Seriously....everything I've checked.

So.  We'll sit back....bide our time and them BUY as MUCH as we can AFFORD next time we're in the gun shop.
