There is no such thing as price gouging.
I disagree.The night after 9/11,local gas stations jacked their prices up to 6 to 8 dollars a gallon.If that’s not gouging the public,you tell me.
How do you decide who gets what when there is a limited supply? I’m sure one would decide to give it to the fellow who would pay the most not by the cut off his jib alone.
And there is no such thing as me walking out of your store and never returning, ever.
Concur. I've bought thousand of rounds before and during this silliness. I paid about the same amount. Why? Because I didn't get excited and panic when the shelves were empty and I saw people asking $100 a brick for .22LR.
I backordered some ammo at regular price (got it after 3 weeks) and I purchased the 3 box limit at Walmart every time they had some ammo.
People can ask whatever they want. They will get whatever someone else is WILLING to pay. These speculators, who bought up pallets at inflated prices to sell at even higher prices, will be hurrying to unload their stock when prices begin to fall. I plan on picking up a lot more ammo when they are trying to out do each other on the way to the bottom.
If its free will, its free market.
buy low, sell high - that’s Capitalism!
Right on
“There is no such thing as price gouging.”
I agree! It is like always, there is a market. If the prices do not rise in a tight market, then the limited supply will be very concentrated to the “first comers” and hoarders. I’d much prefer that the prices go up to prevent smaller concentrations of the ammo. My preference is that ammo is distributed as far and wide as is possible and the price escalation in a tight market help ensure that is what actually is occuring.
