GunBroker has just sold a flat of Federal Gold Medals for $250 shipped.

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/889172727

and I have a local seller offering .22 shells for 25 cents each.

https://theeclassifieds.com/Home/ViewListing/179d4d0b-0b06-4621-8595-acae016f3b68

There is no natural disaster or crisis that can really be defined, just an election year.

What do you guys think? Would you pay a quarter for a .22 shell? Would you sell them for a quarter?

How about $250 for a flat of shells?

 

[Ram Rod]

I personally think the buyer is completely uninformed on the value .

A fool and their money soon separate.

I pray the buyer of the $250. flat doesn’t know something more than we do about the future.

Whoever is paying these prices has a shooting problem worse than an alcoholic needing a drink.

Depends on your perspective. Nobody is making anyone buy ammo or components at those prices especially on GB.
Stores don't only have to look at what they paid for a product, but what the replacement stock is going to cost.

Right now it's a sellers market. Shortages always drive prices, if the last year and toilet paper didn't teach us anything else it should have taught you to be prepared for the things you really need. I'm sitting on enough reloading components to last a couple of years at a moderate shooting pace both shotgun and pistol, but it was accumulated during reasonable prices. I'm not in a hurry to go back to weekly handgun shooting until this settles out some, but I still shoot enough to be competent with my 2 EDC handguns.

I've pissed away a lot of money on the shooting sports over the years and made quite a few impulsive purchases, but I'm not buying target shotshells at a dollar each or .22 ammo for a quarter a round.

Gunbroker.... 1000 pistol primers for $250.... Prices are crazy.

 

[lhedrick1]

Its only gouging if people are actually buying. Otherwise your just an idiot seller asking a rediculous amount.

My local gun shop told me about a great deal he had on .223 and had a few AR's come in. A case of 1000 for $750 + tax. $.75 a round for junk .223? No thank you........

My impulsive purchase this summer was new reloading equipment to replace the reloading equipment I sold a few years ago, maybe it wasn't impulsive after all. Ok the Perazzi MX-2000 I picked up this summer was impulsive

 

[1straightshot]

Those shell are 3 1/4 dram. 1335FPS.
Maybe the recoil will knock some sense into him.

There's local gun show this weekend, I may go just to see how stupid it's gotten.

On a local forum 1 gentleman was selling 22's @ 32 cents each. I wanted to reach into the screen and slap him.

 

[calldan]

Some of these prices are actual auctions with multiple bidders. Scared hoarders is what I believe

 

[Tron]

There is no such thing as gouging in a capitalist system. It’s whatever the market will bear. If you don’t like the price, then don’t buy it. It’s not always moral, not always fair, but it’s capitalism.

Flat of STS 7.5 or 8 ought to raise a bid or two.

 

[lhedrick1]

I think the whole thing is rigged. It wouldn't surprise me if there were hundreds of bots selling/bidding on these online auctions to add fuel to the fire. I saw 6.5 Grendel bringing $2.00 + a round on Gunbroker.

 

[Wazman]

Tron's got it. The seller can ask $500 a flat and $300 a brick if they want. If you want it you will elect to pay their price...... if you think it is a ridiculous price than hopefully you do not buy it and price shop other alternatives. At those prices.......I myself would take a break from shooting and would remodel the bathroom. Imagine how happy your wife would be!
I think a lot of these sky high price sellers (hoarders) really don't want to sell their product as much as throw out a wild price and see if someone will bite on it.
