Regardless of demand, or the irrationality of the demand, it is price gouging.  I quit using the retailer in question years ago because of poor customer service.  It seems their contempt for customers continues unabated.  Vote with your feet, people.  You know the way to the exits.


its not gouging.

In a way I agree. If someone wants to pay a given price for something, it is not the sellers fault for charging too much. Yet that is what usually happens when people get stuck paying too much. When they got screwed on housing prices, it was the banks fault for loaning them the money. Same when they get over extended with credit card debt. People tend to be their own worst enemy when it comes to money and spending. They give in, thinking it is only going to get more expensive. Then like the housing market, somebody gets stuck buying at the top. What are they possibly thinking, that in 2 years 9 MM ammo will be $120.00 a box like Hi-Cap Glock magazines were 18 months after the 94 AWB? I think the same people who bought them for that price are the same ones paying $41.00 a box for 9 MM to put into those $120.00 magazines they bought 14 years ago.  Bill T.

A local range here in Palm Beach County, FL is charging 21.95 per box for .38, .40 , 9mm & .45ACP.  And you can only use their ammo on the range.

Try Gator Guns in West Palm (they're off military trail and okeechobee blvd.). Their gun prices are absurd but they only want $14 a 50 round box for range ammo (also house only, its a liability insurance thing).

PS Tactical pants are the ones that let you carry an extra 20 rounds  ;D

Was at Gander Mountain today in Indianapolis and was going to buy a box of Black Hills .40 Smith and Wesson. They wanted $49.99 for a box of 50. Speer and Remington Express .40 was $59.99 for a box of 50. I bought the Abu Garcia Silver Max baitcasting rod and reel combo for $79.99 instead.... ;D

They were out of 9mm ammo. Some boxes of .45 and plenty of .357, .41 and .44 mag.

I just picked up 200 rnds at Wallies today for $46 (out the door). I was shocked because they haven't had any for close to a month. They also had a nice sign saying they can only sell 6 boxes total at a time.
