WHY are you selling stuff like 1 box of ammo for the exact same price I can walk in the store and buy it for. WHY are you selling stuff like "mix and match of ammo, 7 loose rounds, 1 box half full and 1 stripper clip"....... I understand the economy is total crap right now, but do you really think someone's going to drive to meet you (with fuel prices like they are) for 17 rounds or even 50 rounds of ammo.
Nothing like clicking on a post of ammo for sale only to find out they're selling 31 rounds

for the uneven amounts of ammo I want to say it's maybe because some people only need a few rounds to zero an optic, hunt with, etc. don't really know to be honest, but I'm with you on the prices. 9mm has dropped below $15/box of 50 but some people on here are still selling it for twice that amount. I don't think they realize prices have dropped and are just looking to get back what they paid for it, but don't keep up with the market.

Yeah, I spent hours online for Cyber Monday looking for the best deals. I just paid $12 a box of 50rds for CCI Blazer Brass 124gr FMJ 9mm (bought 1,000 rds). Also caught a crazy clearance deal on Winchester Ranger T 230gr +P 45acp JHP for $19.99 per box of 50rds (bought all 10 boxes they had). Then found Winchester M855 62gr 5.56 for $5.99 per box of 20rds (bought 1,000rds). Best part they were all free shipping and didn't have to pay sales tax either.

Some people will always try to sell for more than they paid for it.

Never before in my lifetime have I seen this until recently. Tough economy is what I suspect. A lot of us just trying to move things along to get other things we need.

And for the love of God....STOP trying to sell your PSA AR15 for $1,000 !!! You can buy 3 of them or more for that price.
