So, in this crazy panic buying spree spurred on by the Covid 19 pandemic, we've all seen the effects on the market online and in gun stores across our towns, counties, state and the nation. Most notably being online retailers such as Cheaper than Dirt (ha! Yeah right!)
I must say I did expect a little bit of the same inside the gun community's private sales sector, as we all value the merits of a market economy and earning extra money via supply and demand. However, I did not expect to see just how ridiculously widespread the price gouging has become even on our little gun trader. It's very disheartening to see just how much our fellow gun owners, a group that needs to look out for one another and help each other in the face of all the attacks we sustain from the political climate in this country these days has fallen into the "every man for himself" mentality. I can understand a small mark up, but 200 to even 300% markup on normally cheap plinking ammo?
Come on guys, we can do better than this for our fellow gun owners. If you need ammo, don't panic and pay outrageous prices for it. If you're selling, don't take advantage of people who are blinded by fear to the point they lose common sense. We have to maintain calm and our decency in times like this.
I may catch flack for an opinion such as this, but it needs to be said. Stay safe and stay sane out there everyone!

You weren't here in 2013, after Sandy Hook. It hasn't gotten bad yet.
The key is... don't buy the overpriced stuff in a panic.
Hold fast, the supply will recover... things will even out, it just takes time.

So, I was at the store the other day to get eggs for the family. They had no eggs. None. There was no expectation that they would be getting more eggs again anytime soon.
At this juncture I can buy eggs for an excessive price from somebody that owns a chicken or I can go without eggs.
Or I can buy a chicken if I can find one for sale and learn about chickens and how they make eggs. I will also need to build a chicken house and buy scratch ETC.
Moral of the story, be prepared if you want something and think its availability may be compromised in a time of panic. Or be prepared to pay excessive prices.

BTW... I know people with chickens. I plan to trade ammunition for eggs. It will all work out in the end... It always does. The only thing different about now is the stupidity of more fellow men... during a moment media induced panic.

Want to see price gouging? Go check out Cheaper Than Dirt, they are at it again. 1000 rounds .223 FMJ $1898.00 or 100 rounds 9mm FMJ $175.00 I would never buy anything from them.

The question is this. How do you prevent people (profit reselling) what you just sold them for a reasonable price? I would be pissed if I sold you 1000 rounds of 9mm for $250, and then one day later you sell it for $500. I think that if people are buying in bulk during a crisis, it's not gouging but "supply and demand". It's only gouging if someone has a gun with no ammunition, and you charge them an astronomical fee just to load up their mags. As long as you have 50 rounds per gun, you don't "need" to buy anymore. Most of the people buying up guns and ammo at the moment are Anti Gun people anyways. I'm guessing 99% of the members on here are good to go on having enough ammo to protect their family and their neighbors.....But probably not enough to continue regular range visits.

I'm prepared at all times, I've got thousands of rounds of various calibers stashed away. I'm going out tomorrow to my land in the county north of mine where I shoot. I'll probably burn through about 300 rounds of 7.62x39, 150 of 9mm and 200 of 5.56: what totals several hundred bucks in this inflated market.
About the chickens, I don't really have trouble with that either lol. My family has a farm so I'm good on alot of stuff.

It's kinda funny how so many people who were happy to laugh and say they love how Northam is planning to take our semi autos and standard capacity 30 round mags are now lined up out the door of the local big box stores and gun shops scrambling to get their hands on a gun and some ammo.

Who here NEEDS ammo? I mean NEEDS it...will die if you dont get it?
If you dont NEED it for survival and you are willing to buy it at an inflated price then that's on you. A fool and his money will soon depart. Wait until l this mess is over and ammo will be plentiful again at normal prices...maybe even cheaper. Then stock up.

Things a person needs air, yep Water, yep Food, yep Shelter, mostly yep
Ammo, nope. Don't have enough, don't shoot. If you are suddenly terrified of roving gangs of baddies taking your tp stash, have a good plan. When they come to squeeze your charmin, shoot them and take their ammo. If they don't have guns, leave the bodies as a sign to the next roaming gang of sanitizer junkies.

Wait until l this mess is over and ammo will be plentiful again at normal prices...maybe even cheaper. Then stock up. Agree with Brian. Here's my offer. If you are a member here and have "no, none, nada" ammo for your self defense, PM me and if I have the caliber you need I will "lend" you a few rounds for your/your family's protection. You can return it when the panic is over.

Local stores gouge, too.
After New Town, the owner of Southern Gun World doubled the price of Bushmasters and raised the price on 30 round mags to $30 or $40 each. She took most of the more interesting hi-cap capable rifles to her lake house.
S&W Shields has just come out and the store got a bunch from Smith for LE sales. Karen had to offer them for about $280 to LE but sold plenty to civilians at $600 a pop.
Seems like buyers get complacent when times are good and prices are low, then cry and moan when the worm turns.
Best thing to do is just wait it out and then buy before you regret waiting.

Best thing to do is buy what you need under normal circumstances when its plentiful and cheap. I think most everyone has what they need, they are just panicking for some reason and feel they need more

Rather than whining learn to be self reliant!
When things are less expensive and plentiful stack it high and pack it deep. That goes for anything you think you might need, water, TP, non perishable foods, guns and ammo.
Remember a private citizen doesn’t have to sell you anything from their personal stock.
Expecting folks to sell their items( non life essentials) to you for the same price they bought it for is insane.
You had the same chance to purchase the items at lower prices. The fact you didn’t isn’t anyone’s fault but your own.
I and many others ( not speaking for anyone) didn’t buy ammo thinking we’d sell it for a small profit when things got stoopid.
But hey, there appears to be a need and I/ we have more than enough to spare...
Like others said” if you are in dire need of a small amount of SD ammo I’d be happy to help you out if I can.”
Personal friends know their covered, as the offer goes without saying.
If it bothers you don’t buy it!!!! My items won’t go to waste and it cost me nothing to keep.

Cannot gouge Ammunition prices. Ammunition is not a 'Necessary good or service' Virginia Law ( § 59.1-525, et seq.) on price gouging basically states.. During a time of disaster, selling, leasing, or licensing "any necessary goods and services at an unconscionable price." Read more here. https://codes.findlaw.com/va/title-59-1-trade-and-commerce/va-code-sect-59-1-525.htmlAnd file your complaint here. (Real complaints on real applicable goods or services. Be smart about it Ammunition is neither) https://www.oag.state.va.us/consumer-protection/files/PriceGougingComplaintFormOAG.pdfBe better prepared. People here would be a good place to open dialog with to learn how you can better prepare for events like these to where you do not care if people are asking and yes GETTING the high prices for ammunition.

It never fails that, during every "panic," someone who doesn't understand basic economics starts the "price gouging" thread, and criticizes people for selling something for the market price.
You had better believe that I'm gonna have some 22lr to sell if it's going for 10cpr. And if someone wants to buy it for that price, who are you to tell us that's a bad thing? Get a grip.

Pricing is elastic. Now if you are stocked up on TP you might offer it in trade..

I dont know what the problem is here, I know that we can't late term abort these gougers, so I just ignore them and won't ever deal with them. Lol

Exactly. I tend not to buy ammo private party anyway, unless it's one of my obscure calibers. There are plenty of places to buy it cheaper than the ammo sale forum here, so just don't, problem solved.

The problem is that those people had a real small window, now most places I go have plenty of TP it might now but your favorite but the wegmans by me is stocked with some off brand.
Same with ammo it's all coming back slowly now.

If you are out of TP you would happy to buy some at 3x the normal price.
Ammo is the same way - if you banned "gouging" people would simply sit on their ammo and none would be available.
